India’s participation at GITEX Africa 2025, Africa’s premier tech and startup show, highlighted the country’s commitment to fostering global growth through digital innovation and knowledge sharing. Shri Jayant Chaudhary, Hon’ble Minister of State for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, represented India at the summit, emphasizing the country’s rapidly advancing Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI), including Aadhaar, UPI, and ONDC, as key drivers of transformation.
India’s fast-paced digitalization, coupled with its growing AI talent pool (with a 33.39% YoY increase in AI hiring according to the AI Stanford Index 2025), positions the nation as a leading resource hub. Shri Chaudhary stressed that India’s experience in building scalable, inclusive digital systems offers adaptable frameworks for developing economies, particularly in AI, fintech, and cybersecurity.
In Guwahati, the impact of India’s digital initiatives is gaining momentum. Local businesses and startups stand to benefit from India’s inclusive technology models, as they offer cost-effective solutions for digital payments, e-commerce, and digital identity. This growing infrastructure can catalyze digital adoption, fostering innovation and economic growth in the region. India’s role at GITEX Africa 2025 cements its standing as a global leader in digital innovation, with an eye toward collaborative partnerships for equitable economic growth.
