“Microsoft remains deeply committed to the growth of Indian technology — that will impact both India and markets across the globe,” the company added.

In January this year, Nadella during his India visit said that Modi’s digital vision and all the programmes that have been launched around that vision are creating amazing digital public goods, which are the greatest contributions to the world.

India Stack is a set of open APIs and digital public goods that aim to unlock the economic primitives of identity, data, and payments at population scale.

“The magic of India Stack is unlike anything that I have seen anywhere in the world, which is perhaps the greatest contribution that India can make to the world,” Nadella emphasised.

He later tweeted that “we’re looking forward to helping India realise the Digital India vision and be a light for the world”.
