The recent Voice&Data 5G+ Conference, held in New Delhi, gathered telecom leaders, industry experts, and policymakers to discuss the evolution of 5G and beyond, marking 30 years of advancements in India's telecom landscape. Themed "Igniting Innovation, Empowering Entrepreneurship, Driving Growth," the sixth edition of the conference served as a platform to address the challenges, opportunities, and future directions for the telecom sector, exploring how next-generation connectivity will shape India's digital future.
The conference began with the lighting of the lamp and welcome address by Pradeep Gupta, Chairman of CyberMedia Group, followed by opening remarks from
Peeyush Vaish, Partner and TMT Industry Leader at Deloitte South Asia. Vaish highlighted India's rapid 5G deployment as a global benchmark and shared how cloud storage will soon replace local storage needs, aided by seamless connectivity.
He projected that AI and biometric technology would eventually replace traditional passwords, enhancing data security. "India's 5G rollout has been dramatically fast," Vaish noted, underscoring the transformative impact of this technology on consumer and enterprise data handling.
Bharti Airtel CTO Randeep Singh Sekhon highlighted India's unprecedented 5G adoption, which has reached nearly all urban areas and extends into rural regions. Sekhon shared that around 200-250 million Indians now own 5G-enabled devices, making the country a leader in digital infrastructure.
Sekhon emphasised the potential of network slicing and low-latency communication, technologies that allow high-priority services and applications for emergency responders. He urged entrepreneurs to explore new applications in the Indian market, noting, "5G is an infrastructure that enables digital inclusivity for our datastarved population."
