.@alisabrypc: Lack of consistent policy and affordability of #technology and devices is a challenge for #SriLanka. But the potential is enormous.

#RaisinaDialogue2023 #Raisina2023

.@OmarSAlolama: There is going to be a leapfrog in #internet connectivity with organisations like starlink. Governments must provide basic infrastructure for the development of such products and communities.

#RaisinaDialogue2023 #Raisina2023

.@OmarSAlolama: #India is deeply rooted in its culture, but it still has a culture of #innovation, just like the #UAE.

.@PandaJay: #Technology came to #India’s rescue and revolutionised #finance and banking with the JAM trilogy - Jan Dhan-Aadhaar-Mobile. This was particularly important for MSMEs in India. There is great potential for #agriculture.

#RaisinaDialogue2023 #Raisina2023

.@PandaJay: #India is naturally entrepreneurial. Indians today are convinced that they can flourish in the country with the third-largest #startup ecosystem in the world.

.@yodifiji: Going back to the basics is essential. #Technology is meant to work for us, and we mustn’t work for it.

#RaisinaDialogue2023 #Raisina2023

.@yodifiji: We must make a concerted effort to take #technology down to the community level, and learn from each other from global south platforms.

#RaisinaDialogue2023 #Raisina2023

.@gautamagg77: We must focus on the three pillars for #technology - it must be accessible, it must solve a problem, and it must be safe.

#RaisinaDialogue2023 #Raisina2023

.@yaelwiss: #Technology can and should uplift communities

#RaisinaDialogue2023 #Raisina2023

.@alisabrypc: We must speak openly about the greater inclusivity of #women and eliminate all barriers to accessibility to empower women.

#RaisinaDialogue2023 #Raisina2023

.@PandaJay: The #UPI is now getting adopted in other countries after its tremendous success in #India. India has an ancient philosophy - the world is one family. The goal is to help and create a network.
