Indian Innovation Can Drive Global Impact Outcomes
Hindustan Times West UP
|March 21, 2025
India is playing a pioneering role in shaping a broader agenda for the Global South and Indian innovation can help solve various global challenges like ensuring financial inclusion in developing nations, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation CEO Mark Suzman has said.
NEW DELHI:
In an exclusive interview to PTI, Suzman especially commended India's focus on the Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) agenda (DPI) that became a centerpiece of the country's G20 presidency. Suzman's remarks came as the board of the Gates Foundation is currently on a rare visit to India.
The Gates Foundation CEO described India as an increasingly dynamic nation where human capital is expanding, yet it still has significant potential for further growth.
That is the sweet spot - "where we believe our investments can help drive even greater progress in the years ahead," Suzman said.
"The kinds of partnerships we are seeing here in India, whether in the biotech space, agriculture, healthcare, or education, are incredibly exciting," he said.
