New Delhi: The global recognition of India’s Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) has demolished the old normals, which is about a section of large tech companies dominating the world of technology, Union Minister of State for Electronics and IT, Rajeev Chandrasekhar, said on Tuesday.
Speaking about the outcomes of the G20 Digital Economy Ministerial Meeting (DEMM) 2023, the minister said India’s approach paves the way for a new normal where democratising technology, access to technology, open source, consumer driven and non-intermediated API’s are all part of the framework that the world hopefully will embrace and move forward.
“It is a very exciting time for all of those who are participants in the digital economy in general. It is also a very exciting time where the G20 recognises the power of DPI,” he added
Chandrasekhar said he is “certainly sure” that the outcomes and the discussions during the digital economy ministers’ meetings “will certainly have a lasting impact on the shape of the world in the coming years and decades”.
The minister said that India’s talent and its focus on creating digital skills for its youth is again something that has resonated during recent G20 discussions.
