Revolutionising National Infrastructure Through Social Innovation, Building India 2.0

India has confronted and succeeded in more than its fair share of the challenges the world has been thrust into. It has come around with equal conviction and more strength and is progressing rapidly as a more sustainable, social innovation-driven technological powerhouse to lead the world into a better future.

According to a global consulting firm, technologies like 5G, Internet of Things (IoT), Machine Learning (ML), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and hybrid cloud will transform India’s infrastructure. The government is aligned in creating intelligent infrastructure and has made private-public partnerships the cornerstone of this drive. Hitachi India is one of the integral partners in achieving this ambitious milestone by ‘Powering good’ an assimilated society, a rural Bharat and an urban India, and partnering with the government’s future roadmap for India 2.0.

“We’re at the cusp of a new world where India plays the definitive role. The country’s mission for building a resilient future, and Hitachi, a dominant partner, is an integral part of this journey and we’re overwhelmed with the collaborative roadmap that has been aimed at building an undisputed India across varied business verticals. It is about “Powering good” and assimilating India’s rural aspirations with the urban desire through a Connected Citizen Ecosystem, demonstrating responsibilities of sustainability towards citizens and the world. It is about steering India to the future, making it more of a global brand and destination for world business.

At Hitachi, our relentless effort is towards shaping ideas, innovation and technology that can support build India 2.0.
