Rediff’s founder Balakrishna thinks so. Not just about Delhi region, but country as a whole.

  • Gandhi ji favoured anti textile automation with charkha as symbol.
  • Professionals want to become managers, and stop doing things by hand.
  • Indian Government does not help entrepreneurs innovate as US government did in inventing Internet, Space program and mobile technology.

Delhi-NCR is a tech hub.

  • It gets more than half of startup funding.
  • Paytm, Zomato & Oyo are unicorns.
  • A food tech centre.

Where it can adopt technology?

  • Transport; more driverless buses.
  • Education; smart classes.
  • Government paperwork.
