Making India the 'Vishwa Tech Guru'

For India to leapfrog into the future, becoming a global No. 1 in technology is imperative
By Sandip Patel
Making India the 'Vishwa Tech Guru'

We stand at the cusp of creating a new world for ourselves, enabled by technology that is changing the way we live, work and interact with our surroundings. The advent of technologies like cloud and artificial intelligence (AI) have challenged foundational beliefs that have prevailed for several decades and vastly expanded the realm of possibilities in a short span of time. In this evolutionary journey, India has established itself as the global laboratory for creating tech-powered solutions to some of the most pressing challenges that impact our lives and livelihood. We have undergone a period of immense technological improvement in the last quarter of a century, and India today stands tall as one of the largest digital hubs in the world. We have firmly entered our nation’s golden era—and this is truly proving to be India’s techade.

When I envision India@100, I see India as one of the top economies, home to thriving communities, entrepreneurs and a global anchor for sustainable growth. I see India as a ‘Vishwa Tech Guru’ (the world’s tech expert), championing innovation in India, for India and the world. The next 25 years will usher in a Suvarna Bharat (Golden India) with technology being the sutradhar (a unifying force). The road to 100 for India is a growth highway that is laid on a strong underlying foundation of highly skilled and favourable demographics, technology prowess and entrepreneurial and innovative culture.
