He spoke on the theme of India’s technology evolution and revolution.
TSD aims to become a place where the world can anticipate and respond to the complicated challenges and immense opportunities presented by the increasingly complex advances in technology.
The annual Sydney Dialogue is convened by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI) — an independent, non-partisan think tank that produces expert and timely advice for Australian and global leaders.
ASPI was established by the Australian Government in 2001 and is supported by Australian and overseas government agencies, corporates and civil society groups.
