Dr Subi Chaturvedi, Chief Corporate & Public Affairs Officer, Zupee for World Telecom Day.   

"With the second wave of the pandemic underway and stay-at-home guidelines in place, everyone is now doing everything online and the telecom industry is making it possible. Given the context, the theme of World Telecommunication & Information Society Day 2021, ‘Accelerating Digital Transformation in challenging times’ is very apt. With people spending time at home and looking for entertainment and learning options, the mobile gaming industry has also witnessed exceptional growth, making it one of the sunrise sectors in India. Gaming and gamification technology riding on the robust telecom networks of the country can truly improve access and bridge the digital divide in the country. As telecom warriors workday and night to keep people connected, we (gaming industry) are doing our best to keep them engaged and entertained during these testing times. There is so much potential for improvement; with the number of internet subscribers in the country anticipated doubling to 83 crores by 2021, brighter times lie ahead for the digital, gaming, and allied sectors".
