Software Technology Parks of India is set up by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) in 1991, with the objective of encouraging, promoting and boosting the Software Exports from India.

Envisaged under the Digital India program, STPI launched the India BPO Promotion Scheme (IBPS). The India BPO Promotion Scheme (IBPS) seeks to incentivize the establishment of 48,300 seats in respect to BPO/ITES operations across the country. This is expected to help in capacity building in smaller cities in terms of infrastructure and manpower and would be the basis for the next wave of IT/ITES led growth. 

This scheme has potential to create employment opportunities of around 1.5 lakh direct jobs, while also creating a good number of indirect jobs. It has also established a joint venture to set up an 'Electropreneur Park' with the India Electronics and Semiconductor Association (IESA), to support 50 start-ups working on electronics product designing and development over the next five years.
