Today, we are building upon this rich heritage, giving it renewed direction and momentum," he said.

Reflecting on the country's trajectory, PM Modi highlighted the transition India has made over the last decade. "A decade ago, the world saw India primarily as a technology adopter. Today, however, India is rapidly emerging as a technology provider. Innovations and solutions originating from Bharat have the potential to benefit a significant portion of humanity. Bharat Innovates shares this vision--serving as an invitation to the world to collaborate and co-create the next chapter of global innovation with India," he said.

This guiding principle has driven our digital revolution and lies at the core of India's digital public infrastructure. Our AI vision is built on the concept of "AI for All," dedicated to the welfare and happiness of every individual," PM said.
