Speaking at the launch, India’s High Commissioner to the UK, Vikram Doraiswami, emphasized that technology security and resilience is a vital part of a modern bilateral partnership.
“India’s technology and digital capabilities are rooted in a long-standing culture of innovation, which also enables it to respond to both domestic and global demands,” he said.
Rajesh Nambiar, President, NASSCOM, said, “The India-UK partnership ushers in a new decade of innovation, inclusion and impact. The next decade should be one of co-innovation, where India and the UK will jointly design and deploy solutions in AI, digital public infrastructure and new technologies.”
