"India is no longer just a follower in technology but is emerging as a leader in various segments," he said.

Vachani highlighted the strong potential for business collaborations between India and the Middle East, especially in sectors like telecommunications, tourism, financial services, and real estate, which could benefit both regions.

He also encouraged investors, particularly venture capitalists, to explore India’s deep tech sector, where startups are offering innovative solutions with high potential returns.

As part of its push for international collaboration, ESC signed two agreements at the event. One was with the Veracity Group of Sri Lanka, while the other was with the Latvian Investment and Development Agency, both aimed at promoting trade and investment in India’s growing deep tech space.

With a strong presence at GITEX 2024, India is positioning itself as a key player in the global technology landscape, focusing on innovation and addressing some of the world's most pressing challenges through deep tech solutions.
