Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasized India’s role as a leader in the global Industry 4.0 revolution, highlighting the nation’s advancements in technology and digitalization. Speaking at recent summits, Modi stressed that India is not only adopting cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and automation but is actively contributing to their global development. With a strong focus on digital infrastructure, India is positioned to drive the next wave of industrial transformation.
Modi reiterated this message at various platforms, including the launch of 5G services, which he believes will serve as a cornerstone for India’s progress in Industry 4.0. He highlighted how the digital revolution in India is not just about economic growth but also about creating societal benefits, such as connecting rural areas and providing affordable internet access. Modi’s government has consistently promoted initiatives like Digital India, which are aimed at making the country a technological powerhouse. He added that Industry 4.0, coupled with 5G, will open up new avenues for economic opportunities, especially in sectors such as healthcare, education, and agriculture.
India’s commitment to building a resilient digital infrastructure has also gained global attention. At the B20 Summit, Modi described how India’s innovations, such as Unified Payments Interface (UPI), are revolutionizing everyday transactions even for small businesses, enhancing digital inclusivity. He called for global cooperation on AI ethics and regulation, noting the importance of a robust framework to manage emerging challenges such as data privacy and cybersecurity.
As India embraces Industry 4.0, it is not only adopting new technologies but also working to ensure sustainable growth. Modi’s vision extends beyond short-term gains, emphasizing the need for a trusted global supply chain and consumer care, urging businesses to prioritize sustainability alongside profitability.
These developments show India’s readiness to not only participate in but also lead the Industry 4.0 revolution, shaping the future of global industry and technology.
