The India Mobile Congress, taking place from October 8 to 11, is Asia's most influential technology and telecom forum and is set to host its largest edition this year. The four-day event aims to bring together global stakeholders, innovators, and industry leaders to collaborate and shape India's digital future.
Speaking at the event, Union Communications Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia said India has transformed from a "technology taker" to a "digital flag bearer of the world."
"From being a technology taker and a technology follower, India today has become the digital flag bearer of the world. Our mobile data costs have fallen in the last 11 years by 98%. There was a time when a single minute of voice was a luxury, access was an aspiration. But today India is home to twenty per cent of the world's mobile population, 1.2 billion subscribers. We have grown from sixty million internet broadband users in 2014 under the Prime Minister's vision to 944 million broadband subscribers," he said.
The Minister highlighted that India's Digital Public Infrastructure has become a global benchmark for innovation and inclusion.
"Today's IMC inauguration marks an excellent beginning for a program rooted in innovation and technological progress. As the Hon'ble Prime Minister emphasized, India's technological future is in capable hands, with the nation rising strongly as a digital-first platform. Communications now reach the farthest corners, supported by rapid technological upgrades and resolute action against unwanted actions like spams/scams by TSPs under the Government's guidance. We believe that a balanced ecosystem fostering both established players and startups is key to sustaining India's digital momentum." Lt. Gen. Dr. S.P. Kochhar, Director General, COAI (ANI)
