While Pichai has informed the PM Google’s plan to improve financial inclusion in India by leveraging the strength and reach of Gpay and UPI. Prime Minister also invited Google to contribute to the upcoming Global Partnership on AI Summit, which will be hosted by India in December 2023 in New Delhi.

It is important the world continues to work together to leverage tech for human prosperity and sustainable development,” Prime Minister posted on X.
