Hyderabad: Hyderabad has the highest number of incubators in India, said Jayesh Ranjan, Principal Secretary I&C & IT, Government of Telangana, during Global Impact Summit 2022 organised by Woxsen University that commenced here on Monday.

He was the Guest of Honour for the four-day summit, which brings academia, higher education leaders, corporate leaders, government officials, researchers, diplomats, and experts in sustainability and diversity on a single platform to discuss initiatives concerning the positive impact on society.

The theme of the summit is 'Ethics, responsibility and sustainability followed in combination with innovation and transformation'. On the occasion, Jayesh Ranjan said that the State has become a national role model in terms of creating a supportive ecosystem for entrepreneurship.

He also put forth the need for today's youth to take up entrepreneurial ventures to promote innovation and steer growth for the economy. He emphasised on various government-led initiatives such as T-Hub and We-Hub.

He further highlighted that in light of the constant comparison between China and India in terms of the GDP growth, education can work as a big leveller to mitigate those disparities and take India to the forefront of economic growth.

The Chief Guest of the Summit, Ashok Ramachandran, CEO & President Schindler India drove the message towards education institutes taking responsibility of imbibing innovation and transformation in their curriculum design. He further explained the innovation agenda propagated by Schindler India to create digital screens within the elevators and how it can potentially disrupt OOH advertising industry.
