Microsoft's CEO
Indian-born Satya Nadella visited Mumbai, Bengaluru, and New Delhi from 24-26th
February to share his vision on the future of technology and how Microsoft is
driving the transformation of technology in India during
his three-day trip. He delivered his keynote in Mumbai and Bengaluru at the
'Future Decoded CEO Summits'. The summit included Microsoft leaders and other
industry stalwarts who spoke about the future of various technologies in India.
Nadella met a group of
students, developers, and entrepreneurs and discussed the transformation in the
current generation digital technology which is transforming education and other
sectors like AI, gamification, personalization, and simplifying STEM (science,
technology, engineering, mathematics). "India remains a top market for
Microsoft, and Satya Nadella does visit almost annually. This year their president
Brad Smith is also visiting, in April. Government engagement is a major focus
for Microsoft top management in India for the past two decades, and all the
more now with expanding digital plans, and also rising nationalist resistance
to global digital and tech companies," says Prasanto K Roy, tech and
policy consultant.Combined with its Cloud
and AI services Microsoft is looking forward to accelerating the digital
transformation across Indian start-ups and businesses as well as the government
organizations. Nadella's visit will buttress this further. This will increase
the global market capitalization of Microsoft among the most valuable companies
in the world.
