India Innovation Journey 2025
A superpower on the rise: with a German delegation through India's tech and startup ecosystem, from the IT campus to the Taj Mahal.
The Challenge.
The task
we faced.
India is the fastest-growing major economy in the world, and still a blind spot for most German companies. With a delegation from Germany we traveled the country for a week to understand its tech and startup ecosystem first-hand.
The Solution.
What we made
of it.
The program included IT campuses and tech companies behind a large share of global software development, conversations with founders about India's digital infrastructure, from the UPI payment system to the Aadhaar digital ID, and a look at how a country of 1.4 billion people rolls out digitalization at a speed that astonishes Europe.
The cultural dimension was part of it too: to understand India, you have to experience its contrasts. The visit to the Taj Mahal became a symbol for the group of how tradition and new beginnings sit side by side in this country.
