  • Shri Vinit Goenka
    Member – Task Force,Ministry of Road, Transport, Highways & Shipping, GoI

    "The success that we have seen in the Medical field is being tried to get replicated in the Road & Transport area. So there is this company in Hissar that decided to put up an e-health centre under its CSR program. This hospital was connected with Bangalore and patient records used to be assessed here with the help of analytical tools and a robust IT network. The result is that even in the absence of doctors, specialists sitting in Bangalore can treat patients from this town. Such is the advancements that happened in IT."

  • Shri Suresh Pansari
    CEO
    Rashi Peripherals

    "Start-ups entered India in the late 90’s. In the past, innovation and research took place in countries where govt. provided support in terms of permissions, grants and investments. In India entrepreneurs have fewer of these choices prior to 90’s. It was thus difficult for common man to start a business back then. However, since last 10-15 years, with the coming of venture capitalists and private equities, the scenario has completely changed."

  • Dr Sumit D. Chowdhury
    Founder & CEO - GAIA Smart Cities

    "The mission of Smart City is indeed a grand idea. Take 100 of the Smart cities in the country and add measurement, technology, better design, integrated thinking and see how as citizens of that city would live there. It’s not about any council that’s being formed, or any elected representatives but it is solely about how we have to change ourselves to live as a citizen there or change how we think about that city. So the Smart City Mission is one in which the govt. asked everyone involved to go to their drawing board, start thinking of every city in different dimension and bring every element like Power, Water, Transportation together."
