Speaking at a recent event, Aggarwal highlighted that India is at a pivotal moment, where it can leverage its technological capabilities to lead innovations in various sectors, including electric vehicles (EVs), renewable energy, and artificial intelligence (AI).

Aggarwal pointed out that the country's large talent pool and growing entrepreneurial ecosystem provide a strong foundation for India to shape the future of global tech. He also stressed the importance of developing skilled jobs in new-age industries, such as sustainable mobility, clean energy, and advanced manufacturing, which are critical for the nation's economic growth.

For India to lead this transition, Aggarwal called for strategic investments in technology infrastructure, R&D, and education to equip the workforce with the necessary skills for emerging sectors. He also urged the government and private sector to collaborate in fostering an innovation-driven environment that supports startups and tech advancements.

Aggarwal's vision includes creating sustainable and high-quality jobs that will not only drive economic development but also position India as a global leader in tech.
