Our ancestors had, at some point, displayed great strengths in space science. What people like Aryabhata had said centuries ago is being recognised by science today. What I mean to say is that we are a country which had these capabilities. We need to regain these.

When I shake hands with a world leader, it's not Modi, but 1.4 billion Indians doing so.

Domains like Trade, Technology, Tourism, Talent and Tradition have the power to redefine existing paradigms.

Governance is also about ensuring access to all, especially in the Global South. It is where the capabilities are most lacking be it power, talent, or data for the financial resources. AI can help transform millions of lives by improving health, education, agriculture and so much more. It can help create a world in which the journey to sustainable development goals becomes easier and faster. To do this, we must pull together resources and talent. We must develop open-source systems that enhance trust and transparency. We must build quality data sets free from biases.

If I have ever made any valuable discoveries, it has been due more to patient attention, than to any other talent.

Having a talent is not enough: one must also have your permission to have it - right, my friends?
