New Delhi: Senior Ministers, industry leaders and opinion makers across various fields came together to exchange ideas and concepts at the 12th Mindmine Summit.
This year’s theme was “India @75: Is this the New India?” The Summit was inaugurated by Ravi Shankar Prasad, Minister of Law & Justice and Electronics & Information Technology.
Inaugurating the Summit Prasad, said, “The job of the government is to empower people who make things happen. Digital governance, digital delivery of services, digital empowerment and digital monetary are the tenets of Digital India and India has the potential to become a trillion dollar digital economy in the next five to seven years.”
“India is in the process of becoming a centre for data analytics and new technologies like Artificial Intelligence. We are also keen to make India – a hub of International arbitration. This also involves creating a single repository of all old cases from beyond ten years so that we can speed up the system of justice. When you create a process of enablement India changes,” he added.
Speaking at the event, Jayant Sinha, Minister of State for Civil Aviation said, “JAM (Jan Dhan Aadhar and Mobile) enables the government to directly transfer benefits into people bank accounts seamlessly without any leakage. This opens up consumption in a very big way for the masses. We have moved from state capitalism to true entrepreneurial capitalism. The driving sectors of the current economy are renewables, e-Commerce, aviation, logistics while earlier in 2008-09 it was power, steel and cement. India is facing a fundamental transformation in economy. Forget farm to factory, elements, structural reforms are leading from farm to future.”
The Summit will culminate with BML Munjal Awards for Business Excellence through Learning & Development. The two-day event will see more than 75 top influencers from across a wide spectrum, including corporate sector, government, bureaucracy, academia and civil society come together to discuss pertinent issues faced by the country today.
