Senior research director at Gartner, Naveen Mishra, said that the second wave of the pandemic has brought a notable sluggishness during most of the second quarter of 2021. However, demand is observing a speedy recovery across the majority of the sectors.

As per the estimates, IT spending is anticipated to grow 6.4% to $98.645 billion in 2022.
