 Namaste and good evening everyone. Honorable Sri Prime Minister Narendra Modiji, let me first start by expressing my heartfelt thanks to you for agreeing to launch my book, Bridgital Nation this afternoon with your hands and also hosting all of us here at Lok Kalyan Mag. I'm very deeply grateful to you, sir. Pradhanamantriji, you often talk about how we should be prepared for the future and you often urge citizens to not only simply cope with the current situation and leave it to destiny, but transform ourselves to prepare the future and do something new. The ideas in this book are very much following this visionary inspirational words that you often say and that run through all through the book. See Ratan Tata, Friends and Distinguished Guests. In the next few minutes, let me talk about what is in this book and before that let me also talk about why I chose to write this book. It's often common for business people to write books on management, lessons learned and if you may say so, sometimes give a lot of gyan. And the reason I wrote this book is because I've had a unique career where I was fortunate to be picked up by TCS and the Tata group when I was 23 years old and all through the next three decades, it has been in the world of technology and I've seen the impact technology can make both on business and society. I've seen many transformations in this period. Coupled with that, the first 20 years of my life, I lived in rural area so I've seen how most of our people in the rural area be formers or rural entrepreneurs or everyday ordinary citizens, the amount of hardships they go through in order to achieve what they want. If I may say so, most often they have to do extraordinary things for ordinary outcomes and when I thought about this, I felt that most of India's problems can be put into two categories. We call them in the book as twin challenges. The first one is lack of access, whether it is access to healthcare, education, judiciary, infrastructure. You name it, we have difficulty in that access, especially for those people who live not in the cities but in the remote parts of India. On the other side, we lack productive jobs. Many people work in informal jobs and they don't make enough money in order to be able to get the kind of access they need to get. On one hand, we have the demand and on the other hand, we have the supply. For some reason, we don't seem to tie the two together. So I felt that if we apply technology deliberately in a way, we call it building a bridge between technology or digital, a digital bridge between these twin challenges, then we will be able to solve both. We will be able to make the access possible and then we will be able to create productive jobs. That's how this term bridge came about, digital came about. Then I felt that we should do some pilots. So five years ago, we started some pilots and I must say under the honorable prime minister's leadership, we got a lot of support because we had to work with the government and I must particularly thank Srinadha Ji when he was the health minister. He worked with us and helped us to do a number of pilots. We got a lot of support from Shri Amitabh Khan in Nithya Ayod. Then we were able to do this pilot for 35 lakh people in three locations and we were able to find in every situation that we were able to solve the access problem, give AI tools to the lowest level of workers and enhance their productivity and create a number of new jobs, digital jobs. Then Rupa joined me in the Tata group. Then with her help, we started to elaborate this across multiple industries, healthcare, education, agriculture and few other industries and we find that only in the three industries, if you do this correctly, we can impact three crore jobs. Many of the jobs are newly created and some of the other jobs are changed with the help of AI and machine learning that we'll be able to dramatically increase the productivity and also get better wages. Our estimate is about 15% better wages. So that is the core theme of the book and we talk about real-time examples and real stories to be able to elucidate what we are prescribing. See, often people are very worried about technology and AI. World over, they talk about AI is going to take away jobs but it is never technology or people. It is always technology for people. Technology is for enabling people. Technology is for empowering people. So if we deliberately use technology, especially this AI and machine learning and IoT and cloud, we will be able to empower humans in a unique way and that can create all the impact that we are hoping to do in terms of giving that access and as our Prime Minister says, quality of life is of life, not only is of doing business and that will become a reality. And that is the theme. Two other themes we talk about in the book is woman employment and the importance of micro-rural entrepreneurship and I will not elaborate. So the job now is how do we create these digital skills and how do we apply it? That is what we want to do. And in order to do that, we have a unique opportunity because again under the vision of our Honorable Prime Minister, we at the Tata Group are setting up an Indian Institute of Skills between Tata Trust and the government, which we launched a few days ago in Mumbai and we are going to bring these concepts of digital skills so that we can really put this into action. It is my sincere belief that the future of work will be designed, tested and made in India and the world will copy. And I hope all of you have a chance to read the book and we'll find it useful and we'll have a comment or two. Please feel free to pause it on and we want to perfect it as we go forward. Thank you all for watching. I would like to request the Honorable Prime Minister to remove this book from his hands and send it to the Tata Group. Before that, I would like to request the Honorable Prime Minister to introduce us to the country. The social and business leadership of the country is always the one who makes progress, the one who makes progress, the one who makes progress, the one who makes progress, the one who makes progress, the one who makes progress, the one who makes progress, the one who makes progress, the one who makes progress, the one who makes progress, the one who makes progress, the one who makes progress, the one who makes progress, the one who makes progress, the one who makes progress, the one who makes progress, the one who makes progress, the one who makes progress, the one who makes progress, I feel that in the coming times there will be a book written by Chandrasekhar Ji. And yes, I don't have any pattern for this idea, so you can definitely write it. You can easily do this work without any stress. Friends, can you write that book or not? No, I can't say that, but smile and stress are free. What happens to the mind? Its effect is in the form of a Brigital Nation. Positivity, creativity and constructive mindset. This is the result of the thought that comes out to solve the problems of the country. This is the positivity, this is the optimism. The confidence on the talent and resources, and the strength of the new India, gives rise to new hopes. The confidence that the inspirational India will inspire some of the professional pessimistic people of the society. It is possible that they should be sent a book. And for a new outlook, they will surely do their work. I, Chandrasekhar Ji and Rupa Ji, give a lot of applause for this visionary document. Friends, this book has come at such a time that it is taking a huge effort to demonize technology. It is trying to create an atmosphere of fear. And especially in the context of India, technology is trying to present it as a challenge for our demographic dividend. In this book, the government has strengthened that vision according to which technology works to connect, not to break. Technology is a bridge, not a divider. Technology is a talent force multiplier. This is not a threat. Technology creates a bridge between aspirations and achievements. Technology is a very strong bridge between demand and delivery. Technology is also a bridge between government and governance. Technology is a strong medium for everyone. Friends, this is the feeling we have for the past five years. And this is our approach for the future. In this book, it has been described in a great way that artificial intelligence, machine learning, robotics, like the basic technology is going to help in the form of a tool, in the form of an aid. This is what I can say based on my experiences. In the past five years, how technology has transformed and transformed the governance in India you are also able to feel it. This is how it is being done. I will give you an example of this. Friends, the idea of giving LPG gas connections in our country, the work of giving subsidies is going on for tens of years. This is not the way we started it. But when we launched the Ujjwara idea, many people thought that this would be the same idea. This will go on. The government will change, the politicians will change. But we changed the way we think. We also changed the approach. We introduced technology in this. Friends, if we had started earlier, what would we have done? We would have made a committee. The committee would have made a task force. The task force would have made a new joint committee. Then the upper one would report the lower one. The upper one would report the lower one. Then the upper one would check the lower one. And we could never meet the deadline. But instead of the committee, we had the technology approach. With the help of data intelligence, we first located 17,000 present LPG distribution centers. And then we prepared 10,000 new centers in a very short time. And I also use space technology in that. Identifying the location, the density, all those things are connected to it. And for that, we made a digital map of the data. This data is like the other data points like the sales report, LPG penetration, population, socioeconomic conditions. And everyone tried to analyze it through technology. About a million villages, 64 lakh diverse data points were analyzed to find out where the distribution center should be. But our work didn't end here. Another big problem that was solved by technology. On the dashboard, during the real-time monitoring of applications and distributions, we found out that many women's applications were rejected. Because it was a simple reason that they didn't have a bank account. If they were using technology, they would have found out that if they were asking a question in the parliament, they would have found out that they didn't have a bank account. What is the problem? To solve this problem, we built a big camp in Jandam with the help of banks. And such women were brought there who didn't have a bank account. They opened a bank account in Jandam. And the result was that in three years, we completed the goal of giving 8 crore families a new connection. Friends, this was to increase the access of technology. Now, what is the role of technology in bringing behavioral change to access? I would like to give an example of this. In your book, you have mentioned that the people of the village have done a lot of work. Especially, the mental block of not getting treatment is the reason for poverty in our country. The reason for the loss of money. Every parent thinks why should I put a son in debt? Why should I put a son in debt? I will take the disease, I will stay alive. There is more. And that is why they didn't even consider the disease. In the direction of changing the situation there is a big concern. Earlier, the poor were afraid of getting treatment that everything would be sold. Today, they have started going to the hospital with courage because they know that the situation is going to be better. The door to the private hospital was closed for 10 days. Today, they have got access. Today, the situation is that there is behavioral change in the poor. The demand for medical services is also increasing. There is treatment for the poor. And the hospitals are getting money from the government. And even if this is possible, the technology is very useful. Along with this technology, Aishman Bharat has developed healthcare as a complete package. Earlier, there was no focus on primitive healthcare. Primary healthcare only had a headache, stomachache, fever. There, all the health care facilities were limited. Now, 1.5 lakh health and wellness centers are getting ready. And they are being developed as a base for tertiary healthcare. In very short time, more than 21,000 such centers have been ready. Now, we will be surprised that in such short time, more than 1.5 crore people are hypotensioned. More than 1.5 crore people have diabetes. More than 1.5 crore people have been diagnosed with cancer. Who could have thought that they could be in remote villages of India. This was not possible in primary healthcare centers. Now, from the health and wellness center, this case is referred and sent to a big hospital. And on the basis of data we have started to have a direct and rapid treatment. Friends, when technology becomes a bridge, we get a transparency and targeted delivery. In India, what was the role of the poor and the rich? You are well aware of this. Governments, run the country. Middle men, run the governance. And we considered this as a rule. It was like a part of our culture. And that is why there was a huge gap between people and the process. We had it. From birth to date, there was a long state of certification in which the human being was still alive. Today, from birth to life, there are hundreds of government services available online. And in the common service center of 2.5 lakh countries, these services are being given in the villages. You are becoming a number in the self-certification country. Now we are facing self-assessment, self-declaration, and facelessness assessment of technology and effective use. The challenges change into opportunities. One more example of this. India Post Payment Bank. The biggest network of the country. Our post office service. It is because of the increase in mobile and internet. There was a dangerous issue that what happened to it. So many people, what would have happened to their daily meals? It would have affected their daily lives. And from so many years, the situation was so big that it was getting worse. We thought of it in a serious way. And the mother of technology. And the reason for technology is that today, our technology is becoming a bank. And a total transformation is taking place. And I believe that for financial inclusion, this banking system has a huge wealth of wealth. And we are giving it our all. This won't be seen by the Loutian government of Delhi. It is somewhere else's world. And in the same way, in the village, the common service center network is giving more than 12 lakhs to the young people. And these young people are giving digital services. That is, we don't reduce our talent. Along with that, the enterprise spirit, the MSME, all the suggestions that have been given to make the organization an important center are very practical. This is a very big theory and not a big thing. It is a book made from the experiences of ordinary people. We are using technology to get rid of the silos coming here. Government E-market place, that is, JEM, in terms of this, people are slowly getting to know about it. This is the bridge between the government's demand and the supply ecosystem of MSME. According to this system, it can be said that this year, with this, the target of about Rs. 50,000 crore has been kept by the different departments. There is so much transparency in this and this work is going on at such a low cost. Friends, similarly, start-up India. If the local demand and supply are made in India, the local supply and global demand are being breached. In this book, you have explained the demand and supply issues that are dealing with these problems. The challenges of India, keeping them in mind, by incubating ideas to change the industry, this is a big effort. Ideas are there, so the financial system doesn't change, incubators and centers are not there, incubators and centers are there, so they don't get the status of marketing in the scalable way. And this is the reason that today there is a lot of start-up and this is a very happy thing for the country. In Tier 2 and Tier 3 city, a lot is being prepared. That is, Tier 2, Tier 3 city which was never seen, they are coming for a new start-up and the new ecosystem is being built. And among all these things, it is also correct that only technology is not there. Human intention or right intention is very, very important. And this also applies to artificial intelligence. Debate shouldn't be that what is more dangerous than artificial intelligence. The reality is that debate should be that how long will a robot be smarter than a human being. It shouldn't be a challenge. In fact, the debate should be that how do we build a bridge between artificial intelligence and human intentions. Not to destroy each other. We will build our own capability. How do we find a way to build a bridge and how to upgrade our skills according to the new demand. Let A.I. be just another idea which is a liter more sophisticated. There is a lot to say but I also need to give time to others to read books. Once again for this wonderful book and when there is a class that is digital world and they have intelligence problems they will get a new food and water. Once again, Mr.Datan I welcome you. Mr. Chandrasekhar and Mr. Rupa I welcome you and I will complete my speech. Thank you. I again would like to invite Mr. Pradhan Minister to join in this work. I would like to thank Mr. Pradhan and Mr. Pradhan Mr. Pradhan Mr. Pradhan Thank you so much.
