Covid reinforced global dependence on Indian IT sector: Kris Gopalakrishnan

The country’s IT sector responded very well to the Covid pandemic which has led to an increased dependence and trust of global corporations in it, Infosys co-founder and former CEO Kris Gopalakrishnan said at the curtain-raiser of the Bengaluru Tech Summit 2021 (BTS 2021) on Tuesday.

The summit will be held from November 17 to November 19 in the city and will see thought leaders of information technology, biotechnology and the startup sector deliberate on the future of these sectors.

“India will of course become a $5 trillion and it is just a question of when. Karnataka has a very important role to play in this as it is the technology and innovation centre of the country,” added Gopalakrishnan.
