The Man Who Dreamed of a Digital India Once upon a time, in a small village in India, a young boy named Manmohan dreamed of a future where technology, knowledge, and innovation would transform India. Though he wasn’t from a wealthy family, his parents taught him the importance of education and hard work. Years later, Manmohan became an economist and, in 1991, was appointed Finance Minister at a time when India was struggling. The country needed change, and Manmohan knew it. He made the bold decision to open India’s economy, allowing foreign investments and cutting unnecessary rules. This was the start of economic liberalization, which would change India’s future forever. One of the greatest impacts was on the tech sector. With the new policies, Indian companies like Infosys and Wipro began to grow and compete globally. India became a hub for IT services, building software for major companies worldwide. As Prime Minister, Manmohan continued supporting technology, improving internet access, and launching the National Knowledge Network, which connected schools across the country. Now, even students in remote villages had access to the same knowledge as those in big cities. Manmohan often thought of the dream he had as a child. Thanks to his efforts, India’s tech industry blossomed, and young entrepreneurs were changing the world. Years after retiring, he looked at the thriving, digital India with pride, knowing his vision had helped millions turn their dreams into reality. Manmohan had shown that with courage, hard work, and a belief in the power of knowledge, a country’s future could be transformed. And so, India’s journey into the digital age began with a boy’s dream and a man’s courage to make it a reality. At Tameta Tech, we are inspired by Manmohan's vision and hard work in shaping a digital India. His dedication to education and technology has transformed the nation’s future. We honor his legacy and continue to contribute to India's digital growth. Rest in peace, Manmohan. Your impact will live on. #RIP #Manmohansingh #Economist #Leader #NationalKnowledgeNetwork #Tametatech #Developmentcompany #Developers #Hardwork

Northeast India, a region of unparalleled natural beauty and immense resources, once boasted one of the highest GDPs in the world during ancient times. However, our economic and educational systems have deteriorated over the years, leaving untapped potential and unfulfilled promises. Despite being naturally rich, culturally vibrant, and resource-abundant, the region has faced challenges in implementation, infrastructure, and opportunity. While the central government has introduced schemes for our welfare, the lack of effective implementation has hindered real progress. Education, a cornerstone for societal growth, has suffered, impacting generations of talent and creativity. To truly grow, we must pool our resources, unite, and take charge of our own destiny. After spending years working deeply within the market, I’ve identified key bottlenecks, and along with my team, we’re addressing them through focused initiatives: QuickGhy: Empowering, skilling, and uplifting the blue-collar workforce, preparing them to meet market demands and unlocking new employment opportunities. ADGA EXIM LLP: Strengthening people-to-people connections with our international neighbors, fostering trade, improving logistics, and enabling small businesses to thrive. The journey is like the classic chicken-and-egg dilemma: What comes first—development or opportunity? But instead of waiting for answers, we are creating solutions. By working on the ground, identifying issues, and tackling them systematically, we aim to build a brighter future for Northeast India. As entrepreneurs, we’ve initiated steps to drive growth and development in the region, but we cannot do this alone. We need the support and collaboration of all stakeholders—business leaders, policymakers, community members, and YOU. It’s time to rise above challenges, pool our strengths, and make Northeast India a beacon of progress and prosperity. Join us in this mission. Together, let’s unlock the true potential of our region and pave the way for a brighter tomorrow. #NortheastIndia #Entrepreneurship #Sustainability #EconomicDevelopment #QuickGhy #ADGAEXIMLLP #Empowerment #TradeOpportunities #TogetherWeGrow #SkillIndia #InternationalRelationship

#Multiverse of economic opportunities Couple of days back, I saw a middle aged lady driving a disabled friendly bike and delivering food. She was representing one of the two main food delivery apps in the country; both of them are now listed on the #stockexchanges. More power to the #woman and her fortitude to do this labour intensive job despite her physical incapacity. And more power to the innumerable #startups new age companies which are breaking the traditional business models and venturing to hitherto uncharted territories. India is growing and growing how, experimenting and investing in #researchanddevelopment, one of the primary reasons for growth of advanced economies. As per the commerce and industry ministry of #India, the country ranked fourth in terms of trademark filing and came in top 10 countries across the world in all three major intellectual rights - patents, trademarks and industrial designs. India was also the third largest producer of research papers in the world and this is going to be supplemented in the latest move of the government to purchase 13,000 journals and allow free access to nearly 18 million #students. While we saw dip in growth numbers for the Indian economy at #Q2FY25, the slowest in seven quarters; the innovative workspace that the country is in, coupled with the right use of the large workforce including through gig economy can do a world of good for the growth trajectory of the economy as it orbits towards advanced economy stage. That said, development of #socialsecurity measures for the large and developing #gigeconomy coupled with up-skilling, and soft-skilling would give the much required long term impetus to this potent economic segment. Educating this workforce about prudent #financialplanning will further empower them and the #capitalmarkets of the country. Pic credit - frepik.com

The IT sector in India has emerged as a powerhouse on the global stage, significantly contributing to the nation's economic prosperity. Presently, it constitutes an impressive 9.3% of India's GDP, solidifying its status as one of the foremost sectors driving the country's growth. What factors have propelled this extraordinary success? A primary catalyst lies within India's educational framework, which prioritizes STEM subjects. The prevalence of English, a widely spoken language, facilitates seamless communication and links India effectively to the global IT market. Furthermore, the educational system actively fosters science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, laying a robust groundwork for a skilled IT workforce. The Indian government has also played a crucial role in nurturing the sector's growth. Through the implementation of various supportive policies, such as tax incentives, subsidies, and other favorable conditions, the government has cultivated an environment conducive to the flourishing of IT companies and their contributions to national development. Moreover, India's early embrace of technology has bestowed a significant advantage upon the industry. This has cultivated a workforce adept at navigating the latest technological advancements, thus ensuring swift adaptation to the dynamic IT landscape. Consequently, India's appeal as a destination for businesses seeking to offshore their IT operations is heightened. India's competitive labor costs, coupled with its skilled workforce and supportive governmental policies, position it as a prime choice for enterprises seeking cost-efficient solutions within the global IT sector. In summary, the triumph of India's IT industry is the result of a confluence of factors, including a robust educational system, governmental backing, early technological integration, and a competitive labor force. These driving forces have elevated India to a leadership position in the global IT arena, paving the way for sustained growth and innovation in the foreseeable future. #digitalindia #startupindia #makeinindia #skilldevelopment #networking #resourceful #b2bmarketplace #linkedin #india

SMEs in India are not just businesses; they're incubators of dreams, opportunities, and sustainability. From tech startups revolutionizing the digital space to traditional businesses embracing modernity, these enterprises are scripting India’s growth story. Why SMEs Matter Now More Than Ever? Employment Powerhouses: SMEs are significant employment generators, driving not just economic prosperity but also societal progress. Innovation Hubs: Often at the forefront of innovation, SMEs are adapting and evolving, setting new trends in the marketplace.

Their growth is our growth, their success stories, the nation’s pride. #IndianEconomy #SMEsLead #EconomicGrowth #DidYouVNRToday #BusinessInnovation #MadeInIndia
