Addressed the #GlobalTechSummit of @CarnegieIndia . Glad to see its steady growth.

Made 6 points in my opening remarks:

1️⃣Technology is not agnostic. Our choices have strategic implications.

2️⃣ The broader context of globalization is about economy, technology and mobility. The real debate today is between collaborative globalization and one dominated by a few.

3️⃣ Westphalian model of international relations is not the final word. With technological interpretations, trust and transparency are key.

4️⃣ The Nagoya model of supply chain cooperation is also under challenge. In era of Covid, conflict and climate change, resilience and reliability are essential.

5️⃣ In a world of civil-military fusion, the definition of strategic technologies has changed. Building deep strengths alone will drive rebalancing.

6️⃣ Geopolitics ultimately comes down to partners and choices. For India, who gives access; who provides markets and who collaborates are the key criteria.

India’s geopolitical positioning would be a net assessment of politics of energy; economics and technological interests, amongst others.

Rise of India will be deeply linked to rise of Indian technology.
