"Every day we are adding 3-4 startups. They are IITians, they left their jobs in America and have come back to India," he said.

"In Silicon Valley (US), 51 percent of new inventions are IT-based and 14 percent of those are created by Indian minds there. That is how India is emerging," he added.

Prasad, who is also Law Minister, also lauded the Supreme Court for leveraging digital technology in expediting judicial processes.

"We have created digital data grid. Today we have got about six crore orders of judgements on the digital data grid and about 4 crore of pending cases are also there. At a click of the button, you can monitor it, how many of them have been disposed," he said.
