Indian origin Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said that each time he visited India, he was amazed to see the advancements taking place in India.
He was addressing Kerala’s Global Digital Summit #Future through video conferencing. According to Nadella one of the pressing challenges was to see how technology can help across public and private sectors to benefit all sections of society.
Citing a medi-tech example he shared that heath care organizations were now using Artificial Intelligence for early detection of cardiac diseases.
Taking about agriculture he said that now farmers and rural areas across the country were empowered with more data which will help them better understand weather and soil conditions, which will improve the crop yield.
The Microsoft CEO said that every time he visited India he saw advancements taking place at a rapid pace.
Nadella also said that schools could use cloud and AI to predict the risk of students dropping out, so that they can intervene at the right time to prevent it.
He stated that local government across India were using Kaizala, a mobile app, to empower government workers and improve citizen service.
“We don’t celebrate technology for technology’s sake, we celebrate what others are empowered to do with that technology.” He said.
“At Microsoft, our mission is to empower every person and every organisation on the planet to achieve more,” he said.
Nadella was happy that events like #Future were being organized across India because they bring together top leaders of the knowledge industry, academics and influencers and such events would inspire them to positively impact the world.
“And that’s what I hope you would inspire to do after this event. To dream, create and build the solutions that will transform your organisations, your communities and make a difference in the world,” he added.
