Now we are at the doorsteps of the fourth Industrial revolution which is convergence of the physical, digital and biological sciences. We are in the verge of exponential change, with this convergence that is happening in the world, we have the opportunity to solve big problems in a short time.

It think at the foundation of the fourth industrial revolution is connectivity and data. The convergence of all the sciences has really brought about by connectivity and data. Yes, to my mind data is the new natural resource, fundamentally have to have a lot of people to generate data and use data. In that sense Indian is naturally blessed with 1.3 billion people.
