Divya Delhi:  Bill Gates, a philanthropist and co-founder of Microsoft, has commended India's contributions to global innovation, highlighting its work in digital infrastructure, artificial intelligence (AI), and vaccinations. Gates emphasized the innovation occurring in India's digital public infrastructure (DPI) and its worldwide impact in an interview with Times Now. "Well, I was able to observe the breadth of ability here even during my time at Microsoft. Now that Microsoft has so many wonderful Indians, like Satya Nadella, who is doing a great job, I knew when I started the foundation that India would be a place where we would want to be active in partnership with the government and that innovative spirit in order to improve the lives of children, and it spread far beyond. Everyone is familiar with DPI, which is fantastic, and it is being used in many nations. However, it is now much more widespread in fields like agriculture, artificial intelligence, and diagnostics. I would agree there has been an acceleration, especially after the pandemic," he stated.
