Snippets of announcements made at the sixth edition of GOOGLE FOR INDIA 2020
It’s been incredible to see the rapid pace of change unfolding over my past few visits to India. From the excitement of young people using the latest apps and services, to the ways people are using smartphones to improve lives in rural villages. Google’s efforts in India have deepened our understanding of how technology can be helpful to different types of people. Building products for India first, has helped us build better products for users everywhere. But India’s own digital journey is far from complete. There’s still more work to do in order to make the internet affordable and useful for a billion Indians. From improving voice input and computing for all of India’s languages to inspiring and supporting a whole new generation of entrepreneurs. I am excited to announce the Google for India Digitization Fund. Through this effort, we will invest 75,000 crore rupees, or approximately 10 billion US dollars, into India over the next five to seven years. This is a reflection of our confidence in the future of India and its digital economy.
