Namaste

As India celebrates 75 years of freedom, I am delighted to wish all Indians a very Happy Independence Day! This year is also the 70th anniversary of India-Japan diplomatic relations, an excellent opportunity to reflect on Toshiba Group's achievements with our partners here, and to envision the future with the solutions we offer.

India has made a remarkable journey towards sustainable development, and Toshiba has been part of it for nearly 60 years now. Through our energy and social infrastructure businesses, we are supporting various government initiatives like 'Make-in-India', 'Clean Ganga', and 'Clean India'. Toshiba Group has made India a manufacturing and export hub, and home to software development centers in our global innovation network. We currently provide over 8,500 jobs at our seven group companies across the country.

We are responding to growing energy needs with comprehensive solutions in the key areas of generate, transfer, store and smart use of energy. We are also experts in water and wastewater management, and a reliable partner of the government in its work to improve India's water environment. As a measure to curb tailpipe pollution, we offer the SCiB™, a lithium-ion battery ideal for hybrid vehicles. It improves fuel efficiency and reduces CO2 emissions.

The knowhow and data cultivated in these businesses are invaluable assets that we use to create digital solutions and real-world products for society. Over 1,000 AI & IT engineers at our software development centers in Bengaluru and Pune are helping to advance Toshiba's digital transformation, and enhancing our competitiveness with cyber-physical systems technologies.

Sustainable development is fundamental for securing inclusive future growth while protecting the environment. By integrating sustainability into our business goals, we address real and changing environmental and societal challenges. We will make full use of our strengths in energy, infrastructure, devices and digital technologies to advance the quest for carbon neutrality and resilient infrastructure.
