‘India can replace China as a tech gear-supplier to the world’

New Delhi: India can replace China as a leading low-cost, high-technology telecom and technology equipment supplier, provided it gets the right amount of government incentives and funding to compete with global players in the world market, said top business leaders.

The feeling that the government needs to strengthen the industry by helping it to come out of the financial depression, to make India a strong competitor to China was a dominant reflection by a panel in an ongoing series of webinars being organised by Foreign Correspondent Club South Asia (FCC).

The FCC organised a special webinar on India’s campaign towards self-reliance with three leading business leaders — CP Gurnani, MD and CEO, Tech Mahindra; Rajan Mathews, DG, COAI (Cellular Operators’ Association of India); and senior government official Dr Dinesh Tyagi, CEO, CSC e- Governance Services India Limited.
