India’s success in the global technology firmament has been driven very significantly by the country’s prowess in English.

It is very important that we continue to increase English fluency in the population so that businesses in all corners of the country can access the global opportunities unfolding this decade and beyond.

Therefore, among the many opportunities around training and skill building, English continues to hold a high rank.

Many countries will need help developing their technical infrastructures. English will remain India’s passport to this global opportunity.
