On Wednesday, during his four-day visit, Nadella met with S Jaishankar, the external affairs minister of India. This week, the CEO, who was born in India, is set to travel to Bengaluru and Hyderabad.
Microsoft is “extremely dedicated to India,” according to Nadella, who made the statement at the Tech for Good and Education showcase event on Wednesday in New Delhi. He also emphasised how technology has impacted philanthropic and educational endeavours.
In his speech earlier on Tuesday, Nadella praised India’s digitisation efforts and digital public goods’ development, citing cloud computing and artificial intelligence as key factors fostering the country’s technology-based economic growth.
“When we think about Make in India, we are investing; it is the largest location where we have our own human capital, we have our data centres, and all of these Artificial Intelligence capabilities that are being used in all applications are all in some sense Made in India,” Nadella was quoted as saying by PTI.
