New set of technology behemoths to be born in India, says Pawan Munjal

Time ripe for birth of new bunch of Indian technology giants, believes Hero MotoCorp boss

Will India see the birth of a new bunch of technology behemoths in the near future? The country’s position as the largest digitally-connected open marketplace that is waiting to be leveraged and monetized, the chances are rife. Hero MotoCorp Chairman and Chief Executive Pawan Munjal believes there is a chance of the arrival of a new set of big technology companies in India.

In this context, he called upon the technology students in the country to catch hold of the big opportunities that are set to land in their midst and be ready for the challenges offered by the largest digitally-connected open marketplace.

Speaking to graduating students of Indian Institute of Technology - Gandhinagar over a virtual platform on the occasion of the IIT’s 10th convocation, Pawan Munjal pointed out that a slew of new age ideas had already landed in India from the United States, in the form of Apple, Amazon, Uber, Twitter, Facebok, Netflix and more.  Post-this scenario, it is time for the next set of technology giants to be born out of India, he said.

Technology scenario has 700 mn Indians living online

A Money Control report quoted Munjal saying that close to 700 million Indians are currently online and connected to the world. This scenario has made them ''perhaps the largest congregation of connected people in the world, behind only China.''.

More than billion telecom connections now out in the open, an Indian consumes close to 14 GB data every month at one of the cheapest internet rates in the world, the report quoted him as saying.

Talking of the digital revolution unfolding in the country, the Hero MotorCorp boss said that in today’s world day to day activities such as buying food and groceries, electronics, automobiles, and also reunion with family, friends and loved ones, and even attending classes and working from home are being performed digitally. And, he reminded the passing out graduates at IIT-Gandhinagar that this was just the beginning and more innovations and functionalities would take the digital route.  

He also said that if China and Vietnam had become the world’s manufacturing powerhouses earlier, India now has the chance to emulate them and place itself at a rightful slot in the global economic horizon.

Lathi Charge: A legalised method of police brutality

"Every blow on our bodies this afternoon is like a nail driven into the coffin of British imperialism." These were the precise words of Sher-e-Punjab Lala Lajpat Rai when he got brutally " lathi-charged " by the law enforcers of Colonial India while he was protesting against the Simon Commission in October 1928.  Punjab Kesari Lajpat Rai eventually succumbed to his injuries, and his death gave off the spark for vengeance in the heart of numerous Indian revolutionaries. In December 1928, Shahid-e-Azam Bhagat Singh and his compatriot Shivam Rajguru assassinated the Lahore Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) John Saunders to avenge the murder of their mentor. "Lathi-Charge" has remained one of the most brutal and sensitive issues for Indians since the bygone days of the Indian National Movement. Thus, even after 75 years of liberation, India and her children continue to writhe under pain brought on by police brutality and paranoia. Both the Indian Penal...

" India is an over populous country. " This statement is hardly news to anyone, but very few of us know that the average age of an Indian is just 29 years old. Hence, India is a fairly young country with a strong demographic dividend. However, the ambitions and dreams of millions of Indians lie stranded despite their ability and competence. Each new year brings fresh new hopes for millions of aspirants. These young people have expressed their strong will by deciding to dedicate the prime of their youth to preparing for numerous government examinations. In a country where social class divisions continue to be a notable phenomenon in determining one's future, Government jobs and recruitments offer the only genuine means for attaining an egalitarian society. Today, even this little scope for upliftment gets marred under the evils of Paper leaks and Recruitment scams. The problem of the youth, in essence, is the problem of the nation, and it is high time we illustrated the gr...
