Minister for Communications and Development of North Eastern Region Jyotiraditya Scindia has said that India is not only building networks for its 1.4 billion citizens but also building trusted digital bridges for the world. He said this while inaugurating the Bharat Pavilion at the Mobile World Congress 2026 in Barcelona, Spain. Guided by the philosophy of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, he said, India believes connectivity must empower humanity, strengthen partnerships, and create shared prosperity.

 

On the occasion, Jyotiraditya Scindia said that as the world deliberates the future of connectivity in the IQ Era, India stands at the intersection of intelligence and infrastructure, where connectivity meets capability and innovation meets inclusion. He underlined that under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India’s telecom transformation has been anchored in indigenous research and development, trusted telecom ecosystems, production-linked incentives, and deep integration into global value chains.

 

The Bharat Pavilion this year brings together over 40 Indian telecom innovators across the value chain, spanning 4G and 5G, emerging 6G technologies, Open RAN, optical and satellite communications, semiconductor design, AI-driven network intelligence, cybersecurity, telecom software and digital platforms. The expanded participation reflects growing global confidence in India’s telecom capabilities and its rapidly deepening innovation ecosystem.

 

Jyotiraditya Scindia noted that the strong presence of Indian innovators at the Pavilion demonstrates India’s commitment to building secure networks, advancing AI-driven telecom infrastructure, promoting trusted ecosystems and expanding telecom exports worldwide.
