Devroop Dhar, India CEO & Co-Founder, Primus Partners, highlights how the Budget places technology at the heart of long-term job creation and economic growth, embedding it across manufacturing, semiconductors, data centres, artificial intelligence and skilling. By prioritising complete ecosystems over standalone initiatives, it lays the foundation for resilient supply chains, future-ready talent and trusted digital infrastructure. This systems-led approach positions India as a global technology hub and a credible digital partner for the Global South, with growth that compounds over time rather than chasing short-term gains.
