Since mid-March, the Republic of India—soon to be the world’s most populous country—has been on strict lockdown to curb the spread of the coronavirus.

Join Hudson Institute for a broad-ranging conversation with noted member of India’s parliament, technology strategist, and entrepreneur Rajeev Chandrasekhar on New Delhi’s response to the current health crisis, including its effect on India’s economic and political life, and the role of technology in curtailing the pandemic. The conversation will also address the pandemic’s impact on Asian geopolitics, India’s relations with both China and the United States, and the need to maintain democratic leadership over technological innovation and the industries of the future.
