The Chief Technology Officer of Meta, Andrew ‘Boz’ ’Bosworth, was quite happy to reminisce about the time when he first met then-undergraduate Mark Zuckerberg while taking a class at Harvard University. Cut to the present, the duo is leading the global technology revolution, setting new benchmarks. The technology is transforming Meta’s strategy across product lines, including its mixed-reality efforts, helping to usher in a new generation of Quest headsets and Ray Ban smart glasses. Boz admits that despite starting his career in AI and staying on top of the latest developments for the past two decades, the newest craze still surprised them.

Boz made it clear that in today’s dynamic tech world, where innovations explode daily, to stand out, a tech leader has to drive larger social good across the communities they operate in. Solving societal challenges with futuristic technologies and innovations with foresight is a great way to succeed. Over the past nine years, India has taken the lead in creating technologies instead of being a mute spectator and consumer of technology. Remember, India problems always require India-solutions. However, India has no plan to take its foot off the gas. The government has already devised meticulous plans to make the country a manufacturing hub. For instance, the Indian Semiconductor Industry market size is expected to reach $ 271.9 billion by 2032, growing a CAGR of 25.7 percent, according to reports. The tech leaders in the country need to make sure that they are at the business end of things - right at the bleeding edge. We dedicate this issue to the CTOs in the country who lead the technology revolution.
