All team members of Bosch India,
Dear Friends, Namaste!
Congratulations to Bosch India on completing 100 years. This is a special year for both India and Bosch India. Our nation is celebrating 75 years since Independence. And, you are celebrating a century of your presence in India. I am also happy to inaugurate the Bosch Smart Campus. This campus will certainly take the lead in developing futuristic products and solutions for India and for the World. In October 2015, I had the opportunity to visit the Bosch facility in Bengaluru with Chancellor Merkel. I saw first hand the innovative work happening there. Equally delightful was the dual education approach that Bosch uses to skill youngsters.
Friends,
This
is
the
era
of
technology.
We
all
have
seen
the
benefits
of
technology
in
the
last
two
years
when
the
world
has
been
fighting
the
biggest
pandemic
in
a
century.
Therefore,
it
is
important
to
invest
even
further
in
tech
and
innovation.
I
am
happy
that
Bosch
India
has
worked
not
only
on
innovation
but
also
in
giving
it
scale.
A
key
pillar
in
this
will
also
be
sustainability.
India's
growth
is
becoming
greener
with
the
installed
capacity
of
solar
energy
increasing
nearly
20
times
in
the
last
8
years.
I
was
told
that
Bosch
has
achieved
carbon
neutrality
both
in
India
and
outside.
This
is
very
inspiring.
Friends,
Today,
India
is
among
the
fastest
growing
major
economies.
Investments
have
picked
in
the
last
two
years.
Thanks
to
our
youth,
our
Start-Up
eco-system
is
among
the
biggest
in
the
world.
In
the
tech
world
itself
there
are
so
many
opportunities.
The
Government
of
India
is
working
to
provide
high
speed
internet
to
every
village.
Our
vision
of
a
Digital
India
includes
integrating
technology
with
every
aspect
of
Government.
I
would
urge
the
world
to
make
use
of
these
opportunities
and
invest
in
our
nation.
Friends,
Milestones
are
important.
They
are
an
occasion
to
celebrate
and
also
look
ahead.
I
urge
Bosch
to
think
of
doing
even
more
in
India.
Set
goals
for
the
coming
25
years
of
what
your
team
can
do.
100
years
ago,
Bosch
came
to
India
as
a
German
company.
But
today,
it
is
as
much
Indian
as
it
is
German.
It
is
a
great
example
of
German
engineering
and
Indian
energy.
This
relationship
will
continue
to
grow
stronger.
Once
again,
I
congratulate
the
entire
family
of
Bosch
India
and
wish
you
all
the
best.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
