India has done a fantastic job in leveraging technology,” the president of the National Association of Software and Service Companies (NASSCOM) said.She said in today’s India, anyone staying in any small city can do something big for global good and can become the next disrupter.“So I think that's the confidence that our youth is growing up with, which is so important for a healthy start up ecosystem where you believe in your dreams.
