In a virtual interaction, Prime Minister Narendra Modi told IBM CEO Arvind Krishna that it was a great time to invest in India and the country was welcoming investments in the tech sector. The IBM CEO also briefed the prime minister about his company's huge investment plans in India and expressed confidence in the vision of an 'Aatma nirbhar Bharat' (a self-reliant India). PM noted that while the world is witnessing a slowdown, FDI inflow in India is increasing. Modi said the country was moving forward with the vision of a self-sufficient India so that a globally competent and disruption resilient local supply chain could be developed. Talking about the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on business culture, the prime minister said 'work from home' was being adopted in a big way and the government was constantly working towards providing infrastructure, connectivity and regulatory environment to ensure that this technological shift was smooth. In the course of interaction, Modi explored the possibilities of creating India-specific artificial intelligence (AI)-based tools in the healthcare sector and development of better models for disease prediction and analysis. Other areas of discussion included the issues of data security, cyber-attacks, and concerns around privacy and health benefits of yoga.
