At the event, S. Krishnan, Secretary, MeitY, highlighted that Universal Acceptance is a necessity for a truly inclusive Internet to allow non-English speakers to access the Internet.

The event featured engaging panel discussions and workshops, with representatives from Bhashini, ONDC, NIC, C-DAC Microsoft, UASG of ICANN, Data Xgen, Infibeam, ZOHO and FICCI sharing insights and best practices for achieving universal acceptance readiness.
