While addressing the gathering, Anurag Thakur lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi for India's inclination towards the Digital World. "Sundar Pichai was here around 3 months back. He met me at an event in Delhi and said that he still carries the hard copy of his COVID vaccination certificate, whereas, in India PM Modi's government made possible digital copies and free vaccines. When Google's Vice President returns from India, he speaks of India's UPI digital platform. People outside were still issuing cheques during COVID, while, in India, Rs 31,000 Crores was transferred to the bank accounts of 21 crore women with the click of a button," Anurag Thakur said.
