Rajesh Nambiar, president of Nasscom, said, “The India United Kingdom partnership stands at the cusp of a new decade of innovation, inclusion, and impact. The next decade must be about co innovation, where India and the United Kingdom jointly design and deploy solutions in artificial intelligence, digital public infrastructure, and emerging technologies.”
