Asking IT companies from across the world to bet on India, technology giant Cisco's outgoing CEO John Chambers on Tuesday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has got it ‘right’ with his ‘Digital India’ thrust. Digitalisation will help create millions of jobs and enhance standard of living of people, he said.
“PM Modi in India gets this. If you are going to bet on emerging country, bet on India,” he said while addressing a huge gathering of IT professionals and other experts during his last keynote address at Cisco live 2015 event here.
“I mean, they (India) know this is their chance to get this inflection point and blow head of all their peers as well as create jobs for...Millions. They can change dramatically their standard of living," he added.
Chambers said he would soon visit India. “Chuck and I will be India in a week and a half...,” he said. Chuck Robbins is the incoming CEO.
