Foreign Secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla has said that the COVID pandemic has offered a peek into a future which will most probably be dominated by contactless deliveries, increased dependence on e-commerce, heightened use of IT enabled services and enhanced use of innovative-technology-led solutions.
In a virtual address to NASSCOM, Mr Shringla said, there is distinct awareness in India of the disruptions that this pandemic has caused in the global supply chains.
He said the response to this disruption is far from turning isolationist or protectionist.
The Foreign Secretary stated that while globalization is here to stay, its norms, however, may become different.
He said, the idea is to make systems and markets highly adaptive to the changing scenarios.
He added that production and supply chains are being developed to fill in the gaps in the global supply chains.
