COVID-19 helping accelerate investments in cloud, AI and cybersecurity: Microsoft India president

With the COVID-19 pandemic disrupting businesses globally, technology will play a “stronger role than ever before”, enabling economic recovery, Microsoft India president Anant Maheshwari said.
Speaking at the Microsoft Envision Forum 2020, Maheshwari noted that the coronavirus pandemic has changed businesses, communities, industries and the world, forever.
“No one company is going to solve a challenge like this alone, and it is going to take the private and public sectors working together to turn the tide on COVID-19. As we continue to work through the current situation and plan for the future, it’s clear that the change required is significant – as is the potential opportunity across industries,” he said.
