RIL’s chairman Mukesh Ambani said the investments in digital space would create employment for over 5 lakh people. ‘Normally, the industry moves faster than the government, but with Digital India, the government has moved faster’ he said.

The RIL is “committed to making the necessary investments and strongly partner with central and state governments in the area of e-governance, digital education, digital healthcare, smart cities and rural digital services.”

Bharti Enterprises Chairman Sunil Mittal said here on Wednesday that his firm would fully support PM Narendra Modi’s Digital India project. “We at Airtel are fully committed to stand behind this vision. We will make very meaningful contribution to the initiative of Digital India”

Addressing the launch function, Sunil Mittal said the company would invest in excess of Rs. 1 lakh crore ($16 billion) in the next five years.
