As I write this piece, I can’t help but think of the ubiquitous ‘sliced bread,’ which has been around for over nine decades and continues to be a part of our daily lives. It leads me to believe that when independent India marks its centennial in 25 years, there will most likely be a few technological breakthroughs that qualify as the “best thing since sliced bread”.
When pioneering technologies from a previous era become old or obsolete, they do not simply disappear. They linger in our minds for a long time and become signposts in our lives. People of my generation will remember how much of a difference Walkman players made to our lives in the 1980s when we could take our music with us wherever we went. Whenever I think of that device, I am reminded of my growing up years in Mumbai.
Technology, in my opinion, improves the lives of people and strengthens communities. As the helmsman of a large purpose-led business organisation, I believe scientific progress will catalyse our efforts to rise for a more equal world. The advances made by our country give me hope for a bright future for our people. Aside from that, it is encouraging to observe how easily Indians have adapted to emerging technologies.
