As technology intensifies in every field and in every part of the world, India has something truly spectacular to offer to the world: the power of the Indian mind. And this is seen in many incredible, fascinating ways in countless apps, unicorns, startups, India Stack, our pharma edge, our design, architectural and cultural experiences. See what our craftsmen make without a reliable, sometimes even reliable source of electricity. But this is not a story of struggle. This is a story of winning by grace.
This is the story of the Indian mind, which we at HCL envisioned during our Mind India Conclave, where we enlisted India’s top minds, from fields as diverse as technology and advertising, to think of ways where a Our combined potential as a nation gets better visibility, got together. , Today India is far ahead of the world.
India Stack has brought millions of people into the digital economy, which has become an important pillar of the country’s infrastructure. UPI stands for a payment solution that is reliable, secure and interoperable between various payment companies, including the Singapore and Philippines markets, which now accept UPI payments via QR codes. Google brought this up to the US Treasury Department as an example for FedNow to follow. Australia wants to integrate UPI with its platform. It has received a vote of confidence from Walmart, Google, WhatsApp and Amazon for a singular example of leveraging technology for quick, fast and reliable service delivery.
But India is overtaken by some revolutionary ideas, some startups or unicorns are proving themselves on the global stage. While we may have missed out on older versions of the web, now the world’s third largest startup country is fast becoming a hotbed of innovation. Today, almost every Fortune 500 company has an R&D center in India. Despite de-globalization becoming a common theme, NASSCOM estimates that by 2025, there could be 2,000 GCCs in India, employing two million people and generating $60 billion in revenue. The demand is fueled by the global willingness to invest in Indian minds for innovation and research. These are not back-end offices for secondary functions, but front-end leaders in the innovation charts of companies.
With China becoming an introvert, India has a huge opportunity ahead. Global CEOs of Indian origin—Microsoft’s Satya Nadella, Alphabet’s Sundar Pichai, Twitter’s Parag Agarwal—are the poster people of a new India that is being seen as a nation of achievers. Intel’s famous microprocessor was created by India-born Vinod Dham, who is said to be the father of Pentium. If an Indian is on top, industry insiders will tell you that funding is more readily available, even in the US.
With the way clear for the rollout of 5G services, India is poised for big impact changes with benefits spanning all sectors and economies, transforming the way we live, work and learn. The space sector is another feather in the cap of independent India. The initial policy defied the cynics, who found it out of place in a country viewed as a bullock cart nation. India’s aquifer, Rajendra Singh, brought water to the dry districts of Rajasthan by promoting indigenous knowledge of indigenous water conservation technologies.
Not just engineering and deep scientific knowledge, India’s soft power has also enthralled the world. Swami Vivekananda’s 1893 speech at the World Parliament of Religions in Chicago, which emphasized universal brotherhood, is still relevant today, as are Yoga and Vedanta, which bring out the divine in each of us. We are the cinema capital of the world. Our top-notch home hospitality lines, like the very best Oberois, have their place in any niche category. The exemplary services of any hospitality brand here cannot be matched anywhere else in the world. With so much talent, India is conquering new ground every day. And one is based not on feathers and prayers, but on data and analysis, research and creativity. All because of the Superior Indian Mind.
