To the pioneers of India’s tech landscape, the builders of code, the innovators behind the screen—
We have witnessed and contributed to a remarkable transformation. Over the past decade, India has become a global leader in digital adoption, processing nearly half of the world’s real-time digital payment transactions. Our digital public infrastructure (DPI), built on platforms like Aadhaar and UPI, is a model of open, inclusive technology that has democratized access to finance and services for over a billion people. We have successfully completed the first phase of our digital journey: a massive and powerful digital revolution.
But the BHARAT 100X VISION calls for something more profound. It’s time to embark on our Digital Renaissance—a period of technological self-reliance where we transition from being savvy adopters of technology to sovereign creators and exporters of it. Our mission is to architect India’s tech sovereignty by 2047, ensuring that our digital future is not dictated by others, but is a product of our own genius and vision.
From Consumers to Creators: The Next Frontier
For years, we’ve excelled as a service provider to the world, a “back office” for global tech giants. While this has built a massive and skilled talent pool, the next great leap requires us to build our own platforms, design our own hardware, and develop our own deep-tech solutions.
This isn’t about isolation; it’s about empowerment. It’s about ensuring our economic and national security by controlling the very foundations of our digital world.
Case in point: The Semiconductor Mission. The government’s commitment, through the India Semiconductor Mission, is a strategic move to establish a complete semiconductor ecosystem. With investments flowing into fabrication, design, and assembly, India is actively reducing its dependence on foreign chip imports. Companies like Micron Technology and Tata Electronics are setting up facilities that will produce chips for everything from smartphones to satellites. This initiative is a clear signal: we are not just going to buy technology; we are going to build it.
Our tech leaders and entrepreneurs are at the heart of this. The success of a small startup building specialized chips for the Internet of Things (IoT) is a victory for the entire nation. It is a testament to our collective journey toward Tech Atmanirbhar Bharat (a technologically self-reliant India).
The Global Appeal of Our DPI
Our digital public infrastructure is not just for us; it’s a global blueprint. Countries across the world, especially in the Global South, are looking to India for guidance on how to build their own inclusive digital ecosystems. Our open-source identity platform, MOSIP, has been adopted by over twenty countries, offering a modular and sovereign alternative to proprietary systems. This is the new face of our ‘Vishwa Guru’ status—sharing our technological advancements to empower other nations.
Your innovation has the power to drive this global momentum. By building on top of our DPI, you can create products that solve problems for millions, not just in India, but around the world. Imagine a health-tech platform built on our digital infrastructure, a financial services app that leverages UPI’s power, or an e-commerce platform that thrives on ONDC. These are not just commercial ventures; they are acts of national and global leadership.
Your Call to Action: Be the Architect of a Digital India
This digital renaissance is not a spectator sport. It requires your active participation.
- Build with Sovereignty in Mind: Prioritize the development of indigenous solutions, from hardware to software. Let’s create products that are “zero defect, zero effect”—flawless in quality and with no negative environmental or social impact.
- Mentor the NextGen: The future belongs to the engineers and coders currently in our universities. Share your knowledge, open your labs, and invest in their ideas. Let’s cultivate a generation that thinks in terms of global scale and national purpose.
- Collaborate for Collective Strength: Our greatest asset is our collaborative spirit. Let’s build a community where tech leaders and innovators share best practices, co-develop solutions, and work together to solve complex national challenges.
The journey to BHARAT 100X is our opportunity to build a digital future that is not only powerful and prosperous but also equitable and sovereign. Let’s seize this moment and architect a legacy that will inspire the world.
