Testimonial

Okay, firstly, I think I'm very delighted to be here and would like to thank you and the organizers for giving me this opportunity. Like I said in my speech, I wasn't sure whether I'm the Right man because I belong to a different generation. But coming and seeing what I've seen in the exhibition and so much of enthusiasm and so many young participants, I think I did the right thing. I'm very happy I was here. I think it's a great place to exhibit what is happening around us. Like I said, the technology is rapidly changing and it's at a very fast pace. Everyone should come and have a look at what's happening around us and how things are developing. There's a lot for them to benefit. Those who are not been able to come, I think they should find time, because unless you see and you spot things, you will not be able to connect with the things which are going to make maybe a big difference to your life. I think it is a great opportunity. You could be missing that opportunity. I think people should come and have a look. And definitely, like someone said, I think, the Nayak or someone said, there is something for everyone, and maybe there is something big for a few.

So who knows? So it could be a life-changing moment for them. Thank you.

So one statement. This year, our theme is about robotics and artificial intelligence. One statement, your say about this, because you have seen this come into the limelight and you have seen the days when this did not exist. So your say on this.

It's a great opportunity It's a good opportunity for not just entrepreneurs and small businesses and medium businesses, but also for large corporations and country at large to take advantage of the excellent technical skills we have. We continue to produce a lot of bright engineers, and we have the DNA. We have it in our DNA to develop things and adopt these things. We have a leading force in terms of IT application. We have been serving the whole world since 2000. So I think now it's time for us to use all this knowledge and skills and brilliance for our own use in our own country and promote the Prime Minister's dream of making more and more atma nirbhata, promote atma nirbhata, and make an impact to the lives of millions of people. And also have the opportunity to leapfrog and become a major player in the globe and be, what I would say, the main hub of innovation. Thank you.

Thank you so much, sir.
