NDTV's Vishnu Som engages in a conversation with Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw. Speaking of Technology and startups, the Union Minister said "One of the good parts of startup India is we have set up incubators not limited to just IITs. The way the startup ecosystem has evolved, the focus has been on solving real problems. We have focused on giving to women, and smaller towns. PM's focus was on democratising tech. Tech should be openly accessible," Ashwini Vaishnaw said.
About The Awards
Since 2003, when NDTV launched the first ever Indian of the Year, the event has become synonymous with recognizing those Indians – individuals, organizations and institutions – who have contributed to the idea and identity of India in one way or the other, whose contributions to the country have strengthened the foundation of our society.
The awards have recognized the unsung hero in the same breath as the most celebrated – our focus has always been on the extraordinary work. It is to honor extraordinary work that we gather once again to celebrate the Indian of the Year - 2024.
