But within the information era, change is disruptive.” He said that within the industrial era first-movers had a bonus over others. However, within the information era the best-mover races ahead, Modi said. Hailing India’s IT sector, the Prime Minister said, “Our local tech solutions have the potential to travel global. It’s time for tech-solutions that are Designed in India but Deployed for the globe.”
