While this is good news, I hope they've properly trained their staff. Many PSU digital transitions fail because employees struggle with new systems. Training is as important as implementation!

Good move, but I'm concerned about data security on cloud platforms. Hope GAIL has strong cybersecurity measures in place. Our energy sector is critical infrastructure after all.
