The KPMG Global Tech Report 2026: Technology finds technology leaders moving beyond AI adoption towards scaling technology investments and delivering measurable business outcomes. The report draws on insights from more than 155 senior technology leaders from organisations with revenues exceeding US$1 billion across the Americas, EMEA and ASPAC.
The report finds that 95 per cent of technology leaders are confident about revenue growth over the next two years, while 83 per cent realised at least US$50 million in digital value over the past 12 months. However, only around 10 per cent have achieved AI at scale with consistent ROI across multiple use cases.
Gautam Bhattacharya, Partner and Head, Technology Consulting, KPMG in India, said, “The findings highlight a clear inflection point for technology organizations. While AI adoption and digital investments are now widespread, the real challenge lies in scaling these capabilities across the enterprise and consistently translating them into measurable business outcomes. As organizations accelerate their AI journeys, success will depend on modernizing legacy environments, strengthening data foundations, embedding governance by design and building operating models that can balance innovation, trust and resilience. The leaders that execute effectively at scale will be the ones that unlock sustainable competitive advantage in the years ahead.”
Akhilesh Tuteja, Partner and National Leader, Clients and Markets, KPMG in India, said, “As technology becomes increasingly central to business strategy, organizations are moving beyond viewing AI and digital transformation as standalone initiatives and are instead embedding them into core enterprise decision-making. The findings reflect a growing recognition that value creation will come from aligning technology investments with business priorities, customer expectations and growth objectives. For Indian organizations, the opportunity lies in leveraging AI, data and cloud capabilities not only to drive efficiency, but also to unlock new revenue streams, accelerate innovation and build stronger competitive advantage in an increasingly digital economy.”
The report also highlights cybersecurity, data quality, regulatory risk and legacy complexity as key challenges to scaling AI and technology investments.
