Summit 2024

Background

Our Hon’ble Prime Minister has envisioned to make this decade a "Techade" for India. The "India Growth Story" in the context of the "Techade" represents a transformative vision for the nation, increasing emphasis on leadership in technology and intellectual property (IP), enabled by strategic partnerships between industry and academia that drives the journey towards a "Viksit Bharat" or a developed India.

Towards this, the following three key priorities shall drive growth for India and the global economy :
