India stands at a defining technological moment: need a distinctly Indian innovation philosophy
In my latest published article for
@ET_Government (The Economic Times Government), I explore what I describe as the “Shakti Doctrine” a strategic framework that connects technology, civilisational confidence, sustainability, and national transformation.
The article argues that India’s Techade cannot be built solely on digital expansion or startup metrics. It must also be anchored in intellectual self-confidence, policy imagination, and indigenous approaches to innovation.
At a time when global technology discourse is dominated by geopolitical uncertainty, AI disruption, and questions of sovereignty, India has a historic opportunity: not just to participate in the future, but to help define it.
Grateful to The Economic Times, Government for publishing this intervention as part of the National Technology Day discourse.
