He noted that while others might face delays due to historical reasons or governmental styles, India's perspectives are evolving swiftly. He illustrated this by recounting the rapid deployment of 5G in India. Initially dismissed as lagging, India quickly emerged as one of the fastest countries in the world to roll out 5G connectivity.
