New Delhi [India], March 16 : Microsoft India on Tuesday launched a digital governance state roadshow in Maharashtra as part of its initiative to partner with the public sector and accelerate India's digital transformation.

It brings together public sector officials across various states to advance a dialogue on how technology can play a critical role in accelerating economic and societal progress.
Senior state officials, public sector leaders, industry bodies and experts will discuss the impact and integration of technologies like cloud, data and AI into state priorities like e-governance, education, urban development, cyber-security and citizen engagement.
