According to Levy, India has the potential to become one of the superpowers of the world as it has the world’s largest population with innovators. He said, “India has a potential for becoming one of the superpowers of the world because of population and innovators. They can create, invent, and disrupt. India has a big heart. They share and give back to the community in terms of education and schools.” and added, “ At one time, we were saying Incredible India but I will tell you it is a credible India.”
He also spoke about the country making significant progress in the field of cyber security. “When you look at the difference in a few years of what happened in India, it is absolutely fantastic because India was almost nowhere when it came to cyber security. And now it is one of the major players in the world,” said Levy.
