Topic Description:

When the chips were down, your code kept the world running…” That’s how PM Modi applauded the IT sector for its commendable role during the pandemic. Speaking at the National Association of Software Services Companies (NASSCOM) Technology and Leadership Forum event on Wednesday, the Prime Minister noted how the tech sector had helped companies scale up to the digital challenge, and allowed employees to work from home during the unprecedented crisis, at the same time adding 4 billion dollars to its revenue at a time when there was degrowth all around. Now is the time to develop newer solutions for societal good, asserted the Prime Minister. He spoke about how the solutions India gave during the Covid-19 pandemic are an inspiration to the entire world, which is now looking at the country with greater expectations.
