From Digital Mindset to Digital Transformation to New India

Digital Transformation in context of New India-The Summit

There is a Chinese proverb,

"If there is light in the soul,
There will be beauty in the person.
If there is beauty in the person,
There will be harmony in the family.
If there is harmony in the family,
There will be order in the nation.
If there is order in the nation,
There will be peace in the world"

Only the peace of individuals can leads to peace in the world eventually. In a similar way, creating digital mindset (nurturing traits such as creativity, collaboration and transparency) in individuals will lead to New India in the long run. To elaborate:-

If individuals develop digital mindsets

There will be transformation in organisations


If there is transformation in organisations


There will be a better society

If the society keeps evolving

We will create a New India of our dreams.

Once again she has started talking to herself. It’s her‘alone-time’ when thousands of thoughts are crossing her mind.

18th January, 2013 And how a book changed my life forever? Caution-Nobody is a complete extrovert or introvert. These are tendencies and we all are on different points of the scale. We have lived in a world which worships the ‘Extrovert’ and pushes the ‘Introvert’ to become an extrovert, to get success. As 'The New York Times' bestselling author Susan Cain says, “Introversion along with its cousins sensitivity, seriousness and shyness is now a second class personality trait.” But many of us have not even realised the world has changed. The credit for this goes to Social Media (aka Facebook, Linkedin Twitter and others), which arrived around 2006. Social Media gives an opportunity to introverts to express themselves from the computer (later they can come out in the open to express their passions.) Sometime back, Raja Choudhury, well known Digital Filmmaker-Director & Founder, Universal Quest & C3CUBE Multimedia, recommended me to read The New York Time
