Microsoft India Chairman Bhaskar Pramanik's Expectations from the Union Budget 2015

Over the past nine months, the Government has set the right context and articulated its vision for India’s economic development. We look forward to this vision being realised over the next year with key announcements in the Budget. Programs such as Digital India, smart cities and Skill India require the creation of technological infrastructure that will need budgetary support. A policy framework for industry and SMEs in particular that encourages innovation and adoption of technology can boost the Make in India initiative. We hope this year’s budget will create an enabling environment for Indian industry to realize its growth potential.
