Sandeep Bhambure, Vice President and Managing Director - India and SAARC, Veeam Software:
"National Technology Day is not only a moment to celebrate innovation, but to reflect on what happens when technology fails. As AI, cloud and digital services become embedded in businesses, public services and critical infrastructure, the defining question is no longer how fast India can digitise, but how well it can recover when disruption inevitably occurs. Cyber resilience sits at the heart of that challenge. Across sectors, there remains a gap between confidence and capability — between believing systems are prepared and proving they can be restored under real‑world pressure. When data becomes unavailable, the impact is immediate: operations stall, services are disrupted, and trust is difficult to regain. In those moments, resilience is measured not by intent, but by outcomes. This has particular relevance for India as digital transformation extends beyond major metros into emerging regions and sectors. As more organisations and citizens depend on always‑on digital services, the tolerance for downtime narrows. Building resilience into systems from the outset — including the ability to recover data quickly and reliably — becomes foundational to sustainable progress. India’s ambition to be a global technology powerhouse will ultimately be judged not only by the pace of innovation, but by its reliability. India has already demonstrated its ability to build and operate digital systems at national scale; the next phase is about ensuring those systems remain reliable when they are needed most. Progress that assumes disruption will not happen is fragile. Progress that plans for recovery, and earns trust through continuity, is what endures."
Ranga Pothula, MD India Sub-continent & SVP Global delivery services, Infor:
"National Technology Day reflects how India has evolved into a strategic hub for enterprise innovation, product engineering and AI-led transformation. At Infor, India plays a critical role in developing industry-specific technologies that support global businesses across sectors such as food and beverage, industrial manufacturing, automotive, distribution and logistics, and fashion. From enabling resilient supply chains and warehouse intelligence to supporting smart manufacturing and demand forecasting, the focus today is on building technology that delivers measurable operational outcomes, not just automation.
Our Hyderabad Global Capability Centre, one of Infor’s largest globally, continues to drive innovation across AI, cloud and data-led enterprise applications, backed by a strong ecosystem of engineering and domain talent. As organisations accelerate AI adoption, the conversation is also shifting towards responsible and scalable implementation. Infor’s recent Enterprise AI Adoption Impact Index found that while 80% of business decision-makers globally believe their organisations have the internal capability to manage AI implementation, concerns around data security, sovereignty and compliance continue to remain key barriers to scaling AI effectively. This highlights the growing need for industry-specific, secure and context-aware AI solutions: an area where India’s engineering expertise and rapidly maturing digital ecosystem are well positioned to make a global impact."
Mr. Tuhin Bose, Chief Technology Officer, Videonetics:
"National Technology Day is a reminder that technology delivers its greatest value when it is designed with purpose, responsibility, and inclusivity at its core. As India accelerates its journey towards becoming a digitally empowered and innovation-led economy, the focus must move beyond adoption to building intelligent systems that are secure, scalable, and capable of solving real-world challenges. At Videonetics, we believe the future of innovation lies in transforming vast volumes of visual data into actionable intelligence that strengthens public safety, operational efficiency, and smarter urban infrastructure. Advancements in AI, video computing, and deep learning are redefining how enterprises and governments respond to complex environments in real time. It is encouraging to see the industry collectively driving responsible innovation that not only accelerates technological progress, but also creates meaningful impact for society at large." We would greatly appreciate it if you could include the above quotes, in your story centered around National Technology Day.
