Modi to change India’s Tech Landscape
Narendra Modi has been a huge advocate of usage of Technology in government. We can expect a more modern governance and greater push to the Information and Technology sector in the near future.
With Narendra Modi-led NDA expected to form the government, India’s political landscape is set for a big change. The change in government is likely to have a strong socio-economic impact. NDA’s PM candidate Narendra Modi has been a huge advocate for increased usage of technology in governance. In fact, Modi’s election campaigns across the country were massively powered by social networks, SMS campaigns and the most significant – 3D hologram projection. With Modi in power, we can expect more push to technology in India.
BJP’s manifesto for the 2014 election gives a better picture on what we should expect in the technology sector. The manifesto says:
“Technology enabled e-Governance – minimizing the discretion in the citizen-government interface. Reviewing and reviving MSME sector and enabling it with better access to formal credit and technology for modernization.”
The technology segment, especially the local smartphone/tablet makers, can expect more encouragement from the new government to manufacture devices locally and bring the costs further down. However, it’ll be interesting how the foreign players such as Samsung and Sony– currently dominating the gadgets segment – adapt to the changed scenario.
Aakash Tablet to be a reality?
We already know Narendra Modi has taken dig at Kapil Sibal multiple times for being unable to deliver India’s ambitious ultra low-cost tablet – Aakash. Will the new government will make that happen?
What else do you expect from Narendra Modi-led government in the field of technology?
