Modi’s AI push: Why India’s next decade depends on moving beyond ‘service’ startups

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said India should aim to lead the world in new startup trends and technology over the next decade, arguing that countries which move early on artificial intelligence will enjoy a lasting competitive edge, PTI reported.

Speaking at a mega event in New Delhi marking a decade of the Startup India initiative, Modi said India has “full faith” in the innovation and confidence of its entrepreneurs, and called on startups to focus on building globally relevant technologies while maintaining quality and depth.
