At the Bloomberg New Economy Forum in Delhi, Modi said that technology, data, knowledge and innovation had become the new sources of power.
He argued that the real question is not who holds power but how it is used, urging a shift from control to empowerment, from competition to cooperation.
Modi added that India will share its experience with Digital Public Infrastructure, offering other nations the chance to build tailored digital systems.
He cited the open‑source CoWIN platform, developed during the COVID‑19 pandemic, as an example of how India’s digital capabilities can open opportunities worldwide.
The Prime Minister said the government will now focus on scaling the DPI model, with a series of bilateral talks set for next month to explore cooperation on digital health and finance.
