PM Modi Appeals To Use Swadeshi Tech: What's the first thing you open in the morning? Whatsapp. If you want directions, Google Maps. If there is office work then Word, Excel or Gmail. And if you want to do shopping then Amazon.

That means our everyday life is completely dependent on foreign digital platforms. But Prime Minister Narendra Modi has now appealed to change the direction. He has said, "India will have to move towards technological self-reliance and common people should adopt indigenous digital platforms."

Modi's logic is clear that if we support Indian innovation, the country's digital ecosystem will become stronger. This statement has come at a time when former US President Donald Trump has imposed heavy duty on India and has directly increased the fee for H1-B visa to 1 lakh dollars. It is clear that now in the matter of technology, one's own support is the biggest support.
