We have a goal of becoming an economy of 5 trillion USD by 2025. The Digital India initiative will help massively in achieving this goal. The covid19 pandemic showed all of us that digital connectivity is crucial to business in times of crisis.
At that time many companies were operating online only as the offices were shut down and work from home was going on. This leads us to the issue that we will need more digital infrastructure than what we presently have.
