Ms. Shrishti Bhandari, Chief Marketing Officer & Executive Director, Mangalam Information Technologies Pvt. Ltd., said, “The thrust on digitisation in the Union Budget augurs well for the post-pandemic world. In a heartening measure, the Budget gives a push to emerging technologies such as blockchain, drones, etc., and recognises animation, e-sports and gaming as sunrise sectors. Moreover, strengthening digital infrastructure through DESH stack e-portal and granting infrastructure status to datacentres will catalyse the growth of the Indian IT sector. Overall, the emphasis on tech-enabled growth is a major positive takeaway from the Union Budget. These, along with the implementation of the 5G and Bharat Net Optical Fibre scheme, will go a long way in revamping digital infrastructure in the country.” Shrishti Bhandari, Chief Marketing Officer & Executive Director, Mangalam Information Technologies Pvt. Ltd.”
Mr. Sarvagya Mishra, Co-founder & Director, SuperBot (PinnacleWorks), said, “The government has insisted on the development of digital infrastructure. Especially in the education sector, the government has realised the need for a nationwide eVidya programme and digital university. It also opens prospects for new-age tech startups to collaborate and contribute to establishing a robust digital infrastructure along with the government. New businesses have been leveraging technologies like AI, machine learning and data analytics, and have presented successful implications which might come handy in enabling the national education projects.”
