“In line with the current reality, this budget has pushed a major thrust on Digital Skilling at different levels with new channels for school education, Digital DESH e-portal for skilling, upskilling & reskilling of our youth and Digital University, etc. This is probably the first time so many initiatives related to Skilling has been talked. Also for Telecom sector announcement of Spectrum auction in 2022 for the rollout of 5G and Scheme for design-led manufacturing for 5G ecosystem is likely to uplift human resource requirements significantly and also need to train the existing and new workforce. Rural OFC in villages through BharatNet is also a great opportunity for Skilling the rural youth. We are proud to be part of Skilling under KAVACH and also connecting our Telcojob portal with ASEEM.

Sharad Malhotra, President – Automotive Refinishes and Wood Coatings, Nippon Paint India “Focusing on road infrastructure development and an efficient multi-modal transport system under PM Gati initiative, the Union Budget 2020 has emphasized on inclusive growth. With impetus on 15 key sectors like infrastructure, agriculture and skill development among others, it has stressed on the need to upgrade technology to research and develop. It has rightly focused on strengthening MSMEs and start-ups through measures like the extension of emergency credit line, revamp of GGTSME and extension of incentives. I welcome the initiatives around green technologies like EV battery swapping and attention to 10 sectors involving electronic waste disposal and automotive ELV. Highlighting efforts to create 60 lakh jobs in the next five years, the Budget has emphasised on Atmanirbhar Bharat through localisation of technologies coupled with private industry participation and sustainable urban development”.
