World Engineers’ Day: Engineering India’s Path to a Tech-Driven Future

World Engineers’ Day celebrates the visionaries who transform ideas into impact. In India, engineers are more than technical experts — they are builders of the Techade, driving digital sovereignty, powering infrastructure, and ensuring that India’s demographic dividend translates into global leadership.

Youth Engineers: India’s Greatest Edge

Rahul Attuluri, Co-founder & CEO of NxtWave Disruptive Technologies, captures the magnitude of India’s engineering youth:

“India has more engineers under 30 than the entire population of most countries. This is our greatest advantage and our responsibility… If we work on it actively, India won’t just witness the future; we will be the ones engineering it.”

Engineers as Nation Builders

Karun Tadepalli, CEO, byteXL, stresses the sovereign role of engineering:

“Be it software or chip building or robotics or cutting-edge medical equipment, India is forging a path of its own. Engineers have their task cut out… Engineers are also nation builders.”

Applications: The Front Door of Business

Pratik Shah, Managing Director – India & SAARC, F5, frames the digital economy through the lens of engineers:

“We are in an era where applications are the front door to every business… As applications become more autonomous, distributed, and API-centric, our engineers are creating the foundations that keep them performant, secure, and trusted. Their work is powering the digital age, one where innovation is deeply human, deeply secure, and engineered for scale.”

Building AI-Ready Infrastructure

Amit Agarwal, President, Techno Digital, underscores how engineers are revolutionizing India’s infrastructure:

“At Techno Digital, engineers are at the very center of everything we do… Today’s data centers are evolving into high-density, AI-ready ecosystems, and it is our engineers who lead this transformation… crafting sustainable, low-PUE facilities through innovations like pioneering liquid cooling systems.”

Conclusion

India’s engineers are not only problem solvers but also strategists, builders, and guardians of trust. They are enabling the Techade by securing digital experiences, designing sustainable infrastructure, and ensuring that India’s youthful energy powers national and global growth.
