During PM Modi’s visit to the US, Sundar Pichai, Google CEO and Andy Jassy, CEO of Amazon, announced big investment plans after their talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This is an exciting step for India’s digital landscape.

Google is investing USD 10 billion in India's digitisation fund, according to Sundar Pichai, who also added that PM Modi's plan for Digital India serves as a blueprint for other nations.
“We are excited today that we are announcing the opening up of our global fintech operation centre in GIFT city Gujarat,” said Pichai. In the Gandhinagar district of Gujarat, India, there is a notable central business district being built called Gujarat International Finance Tec-City.
Pichai also stated that Google plans to soon make Bard, its virtual assistant, available in more Indian languages. By giving a larger audience access to a localised digital experience and the newest technologies, this expansion seeks to improve accessibility and inclusivity.
