As the essential purpose of technology is to empower people, one of India’s most crucial challenges is to see how it helps across public and private sectors to make a difference in the society, said Satya Nadella, CEO, Microsoft.

“It is incredible to see the advancements taking place in India and how technology helps across the public and private sectors is one of India’s most pressing challenges,” Nadella said addressing Kerala’s global digital summit # Future through video conference on Friday.

For example, healthcare organisations are using AI (Artificial Intelligence) for early detection of cardiac diseases and in agriculture farmers and rural areas across the country are empowered with more data to better understand weather and soil conditions to improve crop yield, he said.

In education, schools are using cloud and AI to predict what students are at risk of dropping out so that they can intervene and local governments across India use Kaizala, a mobile communications app, to empower government workers and improve citizen service, he said.
