Nilekani said this during a fireside chat with Ajay Sawhney, secretary in the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) and Debjani Ghosh, president of IT industry body Nasscom.<\/p>\n

India is unique in the fact that it has such a large number of languages, all co-mingling, and most Indians speak two to three languages and so on. Creating the worlds best language capability, whether its speech, text to speech, whether its language to language, I think India is well placed to show the world how to do it, he added.<\/p>\n
