Cities in India can compete globally on parameters such as optimal use of resources, how we get around, ways to improve our productivity and wellbeing, according to the Atlas of Digitalization, a data-driven index created by Siemens. The Atlas compares the transformation of cities around the world. Each city’s unique challenges – including traffic congestion, water availability, and air quality – have been given scores based on digitalisation readiness and digitalisation potential.

Sunil Mathur, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Siemens Limited, said, “Many cities in India have a huge potential to improve the quality of life and ease of doing business. While each city has its own unique challenges, the Atlas of Digitalization and its study of Bengaluru gives a good reference for other cities to further improve on their sustainability, mobility and opportunity parameters.”
