In a significant address, Prime Minister Narendra Modi underscored India’s burgeoning prowess in the field of technology and innovation. He pointed out that while the country might have missed certain technological opportunities in the past, it is now on the cusp of assuming a prominent global role in thought leadership. India has already carved a niche for itself as a thought leader in various digital domains, notably exemplified by its pioneering work in digital payments through the Unified Payments Interface.
Prime Minister Modi highlighted a striking transformation. In the years preceding 2014, India primarily relied on imports for its mobile phones. However, the landscape has since evolved, with India evolving into a notable mobile phone exporter. The nation has successfully ascended to the position of being the world’s second-largest manufacturer of mobile devices.
Furthermore, the Prime Minister drew attention to India’s burgeoning prowess in the export of electronic goods, an industry now valued at Rs 2 lakh crore. This underscores the remarkable growth and strength of India’s electronics sector on the global stage. The message is clear: India is on a trajectory of remarkable growth and influence, especially in the tech and electronics realms, ready to take the lead and set the pace for the world.
