'India must be self-reliant in critical tech,' says Mukesh Ambani
Mukesh Ambani is urging India to step up its game in critical technologies so the country can handle global challenges on its own.
Speaking at Pandit Deendayal Energy University, he pointed out that even with worldwide uncertainty, India's economy is growing fast—about 8%.
He highlighted the need to focus on AI, new energy, space tech, biotech, and life sciences to keep this momentum going.
Why it matters for students (and everyone else):
The article highlights concerns about China controlling key supply chains—especially rare earths used in advanced tech—which has countries rethinking where they get their materials.
To students, Ambani offered some advice: harness curiosity, courage, perseverance, and gratitude.
He called this a "defining moment" for India under PM Modi and encouraged the university to lead in green energy.
