Cyber technology capabilities have become central to National strategic outlook. As India’s aspires to become a Trillion Dollar Digital economy, enhancing our preparedness and securing Cyber Space is a key national priority. There is a need for a concerted effort in developing critical technology capabilities in the country for India’s geopolitical advantage. Start-ups, enterprises, academia, researchers, and R&D institutes in the country need to synergise their efforts and work in tandem to achieve this national goal.
With this view, National Cyber Security Coordinator’s office, Government of India, partnered with Data Security Council of India to conceptualize a ‘National Technology Capability Repository’ and this gave rise to TechSagar which was formally launched by Lt. Gen (Dr) Rajesh Pant, National Cyber Security Coordinator of India, in the presence of Prof. Amitava Sen Gupta, Tech Repository PRSG chair, and other dignitaries on Monday, 21st October 2019.
