The claim, plainly

Tech companies represent approximately 1.7% of the total market capitalization of Indian listed companies, compared to 34% in the United States.

Assessment

The cited figures (1.7% for India vs. 34% for the US) accurately reflect widely circulated equity research and venture capital benchmarks from late 2022, but they rely on an asymmetrical definition of 'tech companies'. The 1.7% figure accounted strictly for newly listed 'new-age' internet and consumer-tech startups in India (such as Zomato, Paytm, Nykaa, Policybazaar, and Delhivery, totaling ₹4.5L–5.5L crore out of BSE's ₹270L–280L crore total market capitalization). When traditional IT services and software giants (TCS, Infosys, Wipro, etc.) are included, India's tech/IT sector represented roughly 12% to 15% of total listed market capitalization. In contrast, the US 34% figure encompasses the full expanded technology ecosystem (including Big Tech platforms across IT, Communication Services, and Consumer Discretionary).

As of late 2022, newly listed Indian new-age tech/internet startups held a combined market capitalization of approximately ₹4.5 lakh crore to ₹5.5 lakh crore, representing ~1.6% to 2.0% (around 1.7%) of total BSE market cap.
Traditional Indian IT services and software companies accounted for 12% to 15% of India's total listed market capitalization in October 2022 (with TCS and Infosys alone accounting for ~7-8%).
In the United States, broad technology and tech-enabled platform companies (including Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, and Meta) represented approximately 33% to 35% (frequently cited as ~34%) of total US equity market value in late 2022.
