Tata welcomes Google’s ‘Internet Saathi’

The empowerment of India’s disadvantaged women has been at the core of Tata Trusts’ many activities. A “special tie with a company (Google) that has digitalised the world and brought connectivity and knowledge to millions of people” is what brought Tata Trusts, chaired by Ratan Tata, to ‘Internet Saathi’, a Google India initiative.

With this programme, the trust has been able to join hands and help in the quest to digitise India, said Ratan Tata, who was present at the event in Mumbai.

“I don’t think we understand enough the impact of what we are doing today, and the start of what it can mean in the future. It is a great moment,” he said, referring to the need to get involved.

Tata Trusts decided to play a role in supporting Google to help reach out to to rural women.
