Use tech to drive inclusivity, empowerment: Satya Nadella
Microsoft is very committed to India and it is investing in the country, says the Chairman and CEO of the global tech company
New Delhi: Microsoft Chairman and CEO Satya Nadella on Wednesday highlighted the importance of driving inclusivity and empowerment through technology and economic growth and asserted that the company is 'very committed to India'.
He was speaking at Microsoft's Tech for Good and Education showcase, an event that highlighted the impact created by technology in the areas of philanthropic work and education. Nadella did a walk through, interacting with teachers, students and professionals who are making a difference in the society, by leveraging various Microsoft programs, initiatives and tools. "Looking at what you all have done, your passion, imagination and ingenuity is truly inspiring. One of the things that keeps me grounded is seeing our mission in action," Nadella said.
Microsoft's top boss further said the Wednesday's event underlined that technology and economic growth are not an end, rather a "means to an end that we all aspire for." He urged the participants to think of growth in terms of social inclusivity. "Inclusive growth if I think about what it means for economic growth to include everyone. Today's examples all around are tremendous, how we make sure whatever growth we have, is aligned with the planet because that is one finite resource or trust in technology," he said. He advocated the cause of "technology making a difference in community", and exhorted the participants to keep pushing the company to do more in helping achieve that mission.
He said: "Microsoft is very committed to India", and went on to add that the company is investing in the country. "When we think about Make in India, we are investing, it is the largest place where we have our own human capital, we have our data centres, all of these Artificial Intelligence capabilities that are being used in all applications, are all in some sense Made in India," Nadella said.
He added: "Now the question is what else is India making with all of our technology." Societal outcomes are never about one institution or one organisation alone, but a collective effort, he said emphasising that he would in fact "shy away from anyone who claims they can do it all".
"It is not just that we are making in India but everybody else is making in India, and that is what is going to help us reach all corners of the country," he said. Nadella shared his vision on the role technology can play in achieving the mission of empowering every person and every organisation to achieve more.
