India shouldn’t isolate itself by restricting data flow: Vaishnaw

Bengaluru: India plays an important role in the global digital data processing ecosystem and should take advantage of this strength by not isolating itself with provisions that restrict cross-border data flow, IT and electronics minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said.

“A digital economy does not have a customs border, right? It is an economy which takes place seamlessly globally. In this economy, we are a very important player in the whole digital global landscape,” the minister said. “We should try and take advantage of this strength and we should not try to isolate ourselves.”
