At the India Internet Governance Forum, Zupee's CEO Dilsher Singh Malhi highlighted the transformative impact Indian startups have on the e-commerce sector. Supported by government policies, these enterprises are driving the digital economy, with innovations in AI and blockchain poised to boost economic growth significantly.

Malhi expressed optimism in India's digital growth, noting it has become the third-largest startup ecosystem, driven by robust digital infrastructure. He hailed initiatives like Bharat 6G Vision and the Semiconductor Mission as potential catalysts for exponential economic growth, positioning India towards a USD 5 trillion economy. Startups are progressively transforming education, healthcare, travel, and entertainment, responding to evolving societal needs and enhancing social well-being.

Discussing AI and blockchain advancements, particularly in sectors like gaming, Malhi highlighted their transformative effects on education, financial services, and cybersecurity. He emphasized that platforms like IIGF 2024 showcase India's digital progress and reaffirm confidence in startups' pivotal role in the nation's economic growth and innovation trajectory. (ANI)
