As per the proposal, the private sector will have 51% ownership in C-DoT whereas the government’s ownership will come down to 49%. The proposal is aimed at making C-DoT as a global R&D centre and making it a technological system integrator.

For the government, C-DoT forms a key part in the rollout of BSNL 4G and 5G services. The stack designed by C-DoT has also witnessed interests from many countries and the government may soon start exporting the same after it is commercially deployed in the country.

For C-DoT, hiring and retaining talent in the technology domain forms a key part of its operations. A revamp in the structure and government’s plans to improve C-DoT’s operations will also help the organisation to source top-notch talent for R&D and design, according to experts. Financial Express
