Barcelona, Spain – In a bold declaration at the Mobile World Congress 2026, Union Minister of Communications Jyotiraditya Scindia unveiled India’s ambitious vision. Speaking at the inauguration of the India Pavilion, he emphasized that India is not just creating networks for its 1.4 billion citizens but forging a reliable digital bridge for the entire global community.
The Mobile World Congress, one of the world’s premier platforms for technology and telecommunications, served as the perfect stage for this message. Scindia drew inspiration from the ancient Indian philosophy of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ – the world is one family. He stated that connectivity must empower humanity, strengthen partnerships, and foster shared prosperity.
As the world debates the future of connectivity in the ‘IQ era,’ India stands at the intersection of intelligence and infrastructure. Here, connectivity merges with capability, and innovation meets inclusion, the minister asserted during interactions with the media.
Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visionary leadership, India’s telecom transformation has been driven by indigenous research and development, a trustworthy telecom ecosystem, Production-Linked Incentives (PLI), and deep integration into global value chains. This approach has positioned India as a global leader.
This year’s India Pavilion featured over 40 Indian companies showcasing expertise in 4G, 5G, emerging 6G technologies, Open RAN, optical and satellite communications, semiconductor design, AI-based network intelligence, cybersecurity, telecom software, and digital platforms. Their growing participation signals rising global confidence in India’s telecom capabilities and innovation ecosystem.
Scindia toured various stalls, engaging with representatives from companies like Anant Systems, XS Infosol Private Limited, Signalchip, RV Solutions, Neosoft Technologies, Celcom, C-DOT, and GX India. He praised their homegrown technologies and innovations that are making India self-reliant and competitive on the global telecom stage.
The strong presence of Indian innovators at the pavilion underscores India’s commitment to building secure networks, developing AI-powered telecom frameworks, promoting trustworthy ecosystems, and boosting telecom exports worldwide. This event marks another milestone in India’s journey to digital supremacy.
