While UAE's progress is commendable, I feel India's UPI system is actually more advanced than many digital payment systems globally. We should be proud of our achievements too! 💪

Good to see Arab countries embracing digital economy. India can learn from their approach to creating innovation-friendly environments. Our startups are doing well but government support could be better organized.

As someone working in tech, I appreciate how UAE is creating ecosystems for digital growth. However, India's talent pool in IT is much larger and more diverse. We need to leverage that better.
