Great initiative. But I hope the government ensures these "trusted digital bridges" also reach our villages with reliable and affordable internet. The digital divide is still very real in many parts of India.

Impressive to see India's focus on the entire value chain - from semiconductors to AI. This holistic approach is what will make them a true global leader, not just a market. The world is watching.

Good step. But we need to be careful about the hype. Let's see if companies like SignalChip and C-DOT can actually compete with global giants on scale and quality, not just in a pavilion. Execution is key.
