National Technology Day is not just about celebrating breakthroughs, it’s about understanding their impact. Today, innovation must be both smart and sustainable. In the printing and electronics industry, that means making conscious choices like designing products that last longer, consume less energy, and reduce environmental impact. It’s about building systems that respect our planet without compromising performance.

The global sustainable printing market was worth over $71 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow steadily at 7.6% annually until 2030. This clearly shows that the printing industry is shifting toward greener alternatives, while true innovation is not just about performance, but also about protecting our planet while moving forward.

Infor

This National Technology Day, we must look back at the remarkable strides India has made in technology and digital innovation, truly transforming the way businesses gain access to, and adopt technology. At Infor, we are proud to contribute to this journey through our continued investment in advanced, cutting-edge technologies like AI, cloud, and data analytics. India is not just a market to us – it is a technology development hub. Our Global Capability Centre (GCC) in Hyderabad — Infor’s largest worldwide — stands as a testament to our long-term vision of India as a global leader for innovation. We recently opened another office in Hyderabad that can accommodate more than 300 employees, on top of our current 3500-employee GCC.

With an upcoming data center in the country in collaboration with AWS, we remain committed to empowering industries with purpose-built, cloud-based solutions that meet the dynamic needs of the digital economy. Our goal is to democratize technology, by embedding AI driven use cases —such as bid optimization for aerospace or price optimization for distributors—directly into our ERP solutions.

This National Technology Day, we must acknowledge the rapid pace of digital transformation in India, driven by AI, cloud, and automation, which are reshaping how we work, connect, and deliver services. The opportunities are immense, but with progress comes increasing complexity. Today, cyberattacks like business email compromise, social engineering, and AI-driven exploits are shifting focus to individuals rather than just systems, growing more sophisticated with each passing day.

Critical sectors, including BFSI and healthcare, are particularly vulnerable. A single breach in these industries can erode trust built over years, making it clear that cybersecurity cannot be an afterthought—it must be woven into the foundation of innovation. And that requires a renewed focus on awareness, training, and collective vigilance.

But the reality is, we’re facing a shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals in India and to bridge this gap, businesses must embrace flexible hiring models, including the ability to tap into global talent pools. At the same time, stronger industry-academia collaboration is critical to equip students with hands-on experience that prepares them for real-world attacks, not just theoretical scenarios.

At Sophos, we understand that businesses of all sizes—from SMBs to large enterprises—require scalable, practical security. Now, cybersecurity is not just a technical necessity; it’s a strategic enabler of growth and a cyber-resilient India.”

We welcome TRAI for its forward-looking approach and clarity in the ongoing spectrum assignment process for Satellite-based Communication Services. The Administrative Allocation of Satellite Spectrum enables shared access, fosters competition, and ensures maximum efficiency in spectrum utilization-objectives that are critical for the growth of India’s satellite ecosystem and for bridging the digital divide.

The proposed framework for spectrum charges in the TRAI recommendations balances the need for government revenue with the imperative to keep satellite services affordable and accessible along with a level-playing field. We look forward to continued collaboration with TRAI and all stakeholders to realize the full potential of satellite communications in India. We are confident that these progressive measures will contribute significantly to a digitally inclusive and connected nation."

NetApp India/SAARC

Over the last year, India has made great strides in emerging technologies, particularly AI. The growth inevitably causes data explosion and a consequent surge in power consumption. At a time when every byte draws power, a robust data infrastructure becomes more than just a technical foundation - it becomes an imperative.

NetApp’s Intelligent Data Infrastructure empowers businesses to act on this responsibility by reducing digital waste, optimising storage, and minimising energy consumption. The shift toward sustainability isn’t an add-on; it’s built right into how we store, manage, and scale data. For India, this is a defining opportunity, to lead the world in demonstrating that digital acceleration and environmental responsibility can grow in lockstep.
