Mr. Pankaj Rana, CEO, Hisense India
"On National Tech Day, we celebrate the transformative power of technology in shaping the way we live, work and connect. From groundbreaking achievements to everyday innovations that transform lives, India has always embraced progress with ambition and vision. At Hisense India, innovation remains at the core of everything we do.
Today’s consumers are increasingly prioritizing energy efficiency, smart connectivity and long-term reliability when making purchase decisions, especially as technology becomes more seamlessly integrated into everyday life. AI-driven capabilities are also beginning to play a greater role in how consumers evaluate appliances, with intelligent features helping optimize performance, enhanceconvenience, and improve energy efficiency based on usage patterns.
This year, we are excited to further strengthen our portfolio with new launches across the TV range including Smart TVs - MiniLED, and RGB MiniLED, along with Smart ACs delivering meaningful technological advancements to consumers. We believe the future of technology lies in creating products that are not only intelligent but also consumer centric and designed to enhance everyday experiences."
Mr. Ravi Agarwal, Co-founderand Managing Director, Cellecor Gadgets Ltd
"National Technology Day is no longer just a reminder of India’s scientific milestones; it reflects how deeply technology has become integrated into the country’s economic growth, consumer behaviour, and aspirations. What is particularly exciting today is the shift from technology adoption to technology ownership, where India is not only consuming innovation but also building it for theworld. The rise of AI-led experiences, smart ecosystems, and connected devices is redefining how consumers interact with technology in their everyday lives.
At Cellecor, we are witnessing a growing demand from consumers across India for smart technology that is accessible, dependable,and designed around evolving lifestyle needs. The real opportunity ahead lies in creating innovation that enables wider digital inclusion, empowering more consumers to participate in India’s rapidly evolving technology ecosystem."
Mr. Rajeev Singh, Managing Director,BenQ India & South Asia
“Technology today is increasingly being judged not by its capability, but by how seamlessly it fits into everyday life. As digital adoption deepens across work, learning, and daily interactions, the focus is shifting towards creating more intuitive, human-centric experiences that enhance how people think, create, and collaborate.
For the industry, the opportunity lies in moving beyond performance-led innovation to building technology that integrates naturally into how people live and work, making it more efficient, accessible, and meaningful.”
Mr. Ravi Kunwar, VP and CEO, HMDIndia and APAC
“National Technology Day is a reminder of how innovation continues to shape India’s growth story and empower millions through meaningful progress. At HMD, we believe technology should not only be advanced, but also accessible, reliable and human-centric. As India accelerates towards a digitally connected future, our focus remains on building devices and experiences that truly address evolving consumer needs while contributing to the country’s vision of technological self-reliance and innovation-led growth.”
Mr. Aditya Khemka,Managing Director, CP PLUS (Aditya Infotech Ltd.)
“Technology today is increasingly being evaluated by how effectively it strengthens everyday safety and awareness. As environments become more dynamic and interconnected, the role of security systems is evolving from passive monitoring to enabling real time, actionable intelligence.
This shift is driving the need for solutions that can interpret data, anticipate risks, and support faster response on the ground. The next phase of innovation will be defined by how seamlessly technology can move from simply observing events to actively enabling smarter, more informed decisions, making spaces safer and more responsive.”
Mr. Rahul Garg, Founder& CEO, Moglix
“On National Technology Day, it is worth naming the risk we are not talking about loudly enough. India is the world's largest consumer of artificial intelligence tools it did not build, running on infrastructure it does not own, governed by terms set in cities far from Delhi or Bengaluru. We celebrated the IT revolution, but we largely executed it for others. We cannot afford to repeat thatmistake with AI. The countries that will lead the next twenty years are not the ones that adopt AI the fastest. They are the ones that own it deepest, the models, the data, the compute, the frameworks. India has the talent, the market, and now the capital.What we need is the conviction to build our own stack, end to end, rather than rent intelligence from elsewhere and call it transformation. Sovereign AI is not a policy slogan. It is the difference between being an economy that shapes the future and one thatsimply runs on it.”
Mr. GS Bhalla, Co-Founder & CEO, Cosentus
“National Technology Day is a useful reminder that progress matters most when it improves how people work, decide, and connect. AtCosentus, we see technology as a practical force, not a spectacle. The real value of innovation lies in building systems that help organisations move with clarity, act with confidence, and stay close to the people they serve. That is especially important now, when speed alone is no longer enough. What matters is whether technology creates better outcomes and stronger trust. From our perspective, the best solutions are the ones that feel intuitive to use, scalable in impact, and meaningful in the way they supportbusiness growth. Technology leadership is not about chasing every new trend. It is about choosing the right tools, applying them with intent, and making progress that people can actually feel.”
National Technology Day Quote by Mr. Sanjeev Kumar Gupta, CEO, Karnataka Digital Economy Mission
“On National Technology Day, the theme ‘Responsible Innovation for Inclusive Growth’ strongly reflects Karnataka’s vision of building technology ecosystems that are globally competitive, socially transformative, and deeply inclusive. At KDEM, we believe innovation must create meaningful opportunities across regions, industries, and communities, ensuring growth is sustainable, equitable, and future-ready. Karnataka today stands at the forefront of India’s technology economy, contributing 38–40% of the country’s IT softwareexports, 13% of India’s total exports globally, and 35% of the nation’s biotechnology market, while also accounting for 10% of India’s electronic industrial output. The state’s economy is growing at 10.2%, outpacing the national average, further strengthening its position as India’s leading innovation and digital growth engine.
The state hosts over 20,000 DPIIT-registered startups, 400+ Global Capability Centres and Fortune 500 R&D centres, alongside 54 unicorns, making Karnataka home to the world’s second fastest-growing startup ecosystem. Karnataka is also emerging as a global deep-tech powerhouse, with nearly 40–50% of India’s AI and semiconductor talent based here and a planned $20 billion quantum economy shaping the next frontier of innovation. Through initiatives such as Beyond Bengaluru, LEAP, Nipuna Karnataka, Women@Work, ELEVATE, andseveral deep-tech acceleration programs, KDEM is actively enabling technology-led growth beyond Bengaluru while building inclusive talent pipelines across Mysuru, Hubballi-Dharwad-Belagavi, Mangaluru, Kalaburgi, Shivamoga, Tumakuru, and other emerging clusters.
Responsible innovation ultimately means ensuring technology solves real-world challenges — from AI democratization, semiconductor and design innovation, cybersecurity, skilling, and deep-tech entrepreneurship to creating jobs, empowering women, strengthening regional economies, and enhancing India’s global competitiveness. Karnataka’s technology journey demonstrates that when government, industry, academia, startups, and communities collaborate with purpose, innovation becomes a powerful catalyst for inclusiveand equitable growth with real ground-level impact.”
