Mr. Bhanu Pratap Singh Tanwar (Interact Group) discusses how Budget 2026 anchors India’s tech growth in Atmanirbhar capabilities and home-grown talent.
“The Union Budget 2026 lays a strong foundation for India’s journey towards becoming a global technology and innovation hub, firmly anchored in home-grown ideas, Indian talent, and Atmanirbhar capabilities. The Government’s sustained focus on emerging technologies such as AI, gaming and the broader AVGC sector, alongside continued investments in digital public infrastructure and skilling, is enabling Indian startups to transform aspiration into achievement and move decisively from technology adoption to technology creation.
This momentum is being powered by consistent policy support, resilient digital infrastructure, and a rapidly maturing innovation ecosystem that places Yuva Shakti at the centre of India’s growth story. With a renewed emphasis on consumer technology, digital platforms, and original product creation, Indian startups are uniquely positioned to take Digital Bharat products to the world, building globally relevant solutions while remaining deeply rooted in Indian users and realities.
As India advances steadily on the path of Viksit Bharat, we look forward to working closely with policymakers and industry stakeholders to translate this vision into a more inclusive, connected, and future-ready Digital India.”
