This year, we're likely to see the continuation of the same. Google has confirmed Sundar Pichai will deliver a “special keynote” later today. We're expecting Google to also focus on the digital economy and efforts to empower local SMEs.

“Join us as Sundar Pichai, CEO, Google and Alphabet, Ravi Shankar Prasad, Hon'ble Minister of Communications, Electronics & Information Technology and Law & Justice, Government of India, and many of our leaders share the vision and path ahead to solve for India's needs, and bring the benefits of the digital economy to all,” said Google in its invitation for the event.
