Google announces initiatives to help India’s digital transformation

With the aim to extend the benefits of India’s growing digital economy to more people, tech giant Google on Thursday announced several initiatives to help India’s digital transformation journey.

The company announced a pilot of the first-ever Google Assistant-enabled, end-to-end vaccine booking flow that will guide users through the process of booking a vaccination appointment on the COWIN website.

“We have worked closely with COWIN to enable this integration, where people everywhere will be able to easily book a vaccine appointment in a more guided manner,” the company said in a blogpost.
