National Technology Day Highlights AI and Digital Skills

"National Technology Day is not just a celebration of India’s technological milestones - it’s a reminder of our collective responsibility to use innovation as a force for sustainable and inclusive growth. As we move into an era powered by agentic AI, it is imperative that we ensure this progress is human-centered, ethical, and future-ready.

India’s youth are the architects of this future. To truly empower them, we must focus on expanding access to high-quality digital skills and building the confidence to lead in an AI-first world. At Salesforce, we’re contributing to this mission through platforms like Trailhead, which has helped millions across India learn in-demand skills.

As we work towards a Viksit Bharat by 2047, the real differentiator will not be how fast we innovate, but how intentionally we innovate—ensuring that technology serves society, preserves the planet, and uplifts every individual it touches. By combining public ambition, private sector commitment, and strong industry-academia collaboration, we can ensure that Indian youth are not only prepared for the future - they are building it.”
