Way Forward

To capture the full potential of IT-technologies, India need to address barriers such as its limited telecom infrastructure and a lack of computer literacy among Indians. In addition, policy makers can create an environment in which these technologies flourish by adopting appropriate regulations that protect the rights of citizens and by helping to foster an environment for innovation.

• Government can encourage the growth of tech industries and applications by supporting efforts to create standards and can help entrepreneurs scale up ideas into major companies through reforms to regulatory systems.
• Finally, India can raise its investment in research and development, because it is still very low in India as compared with China and South Korea.
