India is at an inflection point in technological innovation: Experts

India is at an “inflection point” in technological innovation and is now poised towards the next phase of growth, experts said at a panel discussion at the India Global Innovation Connect in Bengaluru on Thursday.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, when geographical barriers diminished, talent globalisation was immense and a lot of technology jobs moved to places like India, said Avinash Vashistha, chairman and CEO, Tholons, a management consultancy firm.

In 2023, when the artificial intelligence (AI) wave gained prominence, lots of jobs turned redundant and people and companies were forced to innovate, he said.
