Budget Wishlist:
I believe that the Budget should really unshackle the connectivity issues India faces today. High quality broadband connectivity once made ubiquitous will be the 'digital highways' that will equal the physical bridges, roads and airports that India desperately needs.
Connecting people with the least friction leads to trade. The biggest success stories in the recent years have all indicated that the digital empowerment of consumers creates a massive spending that uplifts any economy. Consider the Ipod and Itouch. It's the itunes software that connects these devices into peoples homes and makes billions of the devices sell. Similarly, we need to make Wimax and connectivity infrastructure as important an lights on public streets. Without them, wallet spending will remain dark
Computer literacy should also be incentivized by the government. Consumers need to understand how to leverage and use technology so that they become more efficient and contributory. Given that India is fast moving into a service economy, we need our people to be able to look into computer screens, tap away at keyboards and make things happen
