The launch ceremony saw participation of more than 350 representatives from Indian and Chinese companies.

Gautam Bambawale, Indian Ambassador to China, said during the launch, “I warmly welcome the launch of the Sino-Indian Digital Collaboration Plaza. Indian IT companies have proven capabilities and are uniquely suited to partner their Chinese Counterparts.” “A mutual affinity exists between our two neighbouring countries to create differentiated, smart and agile solutions for the world” He added, “In China, Indian IT companies are present in 10 cities around the country, with a total work-force of around 25,000 employees. However, we believe that the potential for Indian companies to cooperate with China is huge and needs more work and effort. Indian IT companies have proven capabilities and are uniquely suited to partner their Chinese counterparts in implementing your initiatives in big data, AI and Internet Plus.”
