Tech can help solve some of biggest challenges, says Microsoft President Brad Smith

Microsoft President and Vice Chair Brad Smith said that technology can help solve some of India’s biggest challenges, like climate change and food security.
Smith, who is in India this week, said the country can take a giant leap via world-class innovations that can help solve global issues.
“I’m in India as the country celebrates 75 years of Independence. It’s an exciting time to learn more about how technology can help solve some of India’s biggest challenges — and how India’s innovation is shaping the future,” tweeted Smith.
A Twitter user from India responded: “Welcome to India, Brad. Food security and climate change are the biggest threat to humanity and I strongly believe India will emerge as a global leader, showcasing how to make the world a better place for everyone”.
The Microsoft president earlier met Minister of State for IT and Electronics, Rajeev Chandrasekhar, in the capital.
