Priorities set by CIOs, for CIOs.
The IT Priority Survey 2026.
Every year, the questions that keep us up at night change shape. Budgets tighten or open up, a technology moves from experiment to expectation, security stops being a function and becomes a boardroom conversation. The IT Priority Survey is how our community takes stock of all of it together — not through an analyst's lens, but through the lived reality of the people actually running enterprise technology across India.
This is our annual agenda-setting exercise. When you complete it, you are helping the CIO Association map where the collective attention of Indian IT leadership is genuinely heading in 2026: what we are funding, what we are pausing, where AI has earned its place and where it is still on trial, how the security and talent conversations are evolving. The clearer the picture we build, the more useful it becomes to every one of us.
What you get back.
The aggregated findings return
to you as a benchmark a way to see how your own priorities, investments, and concerns line up against your peers’.

Twenty-four questions, roughly fifteen minutes, confidential and reported only in aggregate. The survey is open from 10 August to 10 September.
