​As the HR Infotech Association (HRIA) celebrates its remarkable 30-year milestone on October 3, 2025, this achievement represents far more than a simple anniversary, it marks three decades of transformative leadership in India's dynamic IT and Information Technology-Enabled Services (ITES) landscape. From its humble beginnings in 1995 to its current status as a premier association with over 1,5000 HR professionals, HRIA has been the beating heart of human capital development in one of the world's fastest-growing technology sectors.

​The association's journey parallels the extraordinary evolution of India's IT industry itself, which has grown from a nascent sector to become a global powerhouse generating $282.6 billion in revenue as of FY2025 and employing 5.8 million professionals. Through economic downturns, technological disruptions, and global shifts, HRIA has remained steadfast in its mission to connect, educate, and empower HR professionals who shape the careers and lives of millions in the IT sector.
