Union Finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman met the Global Tech Summit team and pledged her support to promote India’s G-20 presidency and Vizag tech summit. Ahead of the Vizag Tech Summit scheduled to be held in the City of Destiny in February next year, the finance minister extended her ministry’s support and explained that India’s G-20 presidency is comprehensive, progressive, and decisive.
She called on the leaders of the Global Tech Summit, led by Pulsus Group CEO Dr. Srinubabu Gedela, to actively promote the G20 economy. “This tech summit is an excellent example of how to bring about inclusive growth and highlight the abilities, skill sets, and emerging technologies in India, but also from the country’s perspective to integrate software into industrial automation,” the finance minister said.
During her conversation with the summit organizers, she spoke about India’s growth, investment prospects, reforms, and the thrust by the Centre to boost the economy. According to Srinubabu Gedela, who heads the delegation for the Vizag Tech Summit 2023, the follow-up Global Tech Summits will be hosted by India’s major cities, including New Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, and Bangalore,
besides India’s G-20 presidency. “Our aim is to make India achieve its trillion economic targets in addition to helping the nation create jobs,” he added.
