India To Open Its First Portal For Collaboration And Cyber Tech Capabilities

As part of a joint effort between the DSCI (stand for Data Security Council of India) and the National Cyber Security Coordinator, a new portal was launched to identify and collaborate in the current technology capacities in India.

The portal is called TechSagar, and it is another step to realize India’s ambition to become a trillion-dollar digital economy. The portal offers various chances for collaboration to facilitate innovation, as well as helping in forming a strategic cyber roadmap for India in industry development and R&D.

At the launch event of the portal, Rajesh Pant said:

The scope of TechSagar expands to 25 areas in technologies including BlockChain, IoT, AI/ML, Virtualization, Cloud, AR/VR, Wireless and Networking, Cloud, and many more. For now, there have been over 4000 entities from fields like research, academia, and industry joining the portal.

Rama Vedashree, DSCI’s CEO, said that the national technology repository was one of the most strategic projects the organization he led had done since it was founded. The portal would allow for searches of the tech capabilities of India, as well as facilitate collaboration and innovation between academia and industry.

Headed this project is Vinayak Godse, DSCI’s vice president. He said that they had worked to provide the definition of several technologies to create intelligence on these techs. Product mapping would be improved along the way and use cases will also be listed. He hoped that the portal would provide tech startups and large global companies with a strategic roadmap as well as help them optimize investments.

Another target that DSCI and the National Cyber Security Coordinator want to meet is to create a tool for combating cybercrime. TechSagar is a seed the two organizations sow to help startups excel in the field.
