He mentioned "When FRIPL was founded on April 1, 2022, it started with a team of just 20 researchers. In less than three years, it has rapidly grown into a research institute with over 400 talented researchers. I am truly amazed by this remarkable growth and would like to commend FRIPL for its commitment to developing world-class emerging technologies and research ecosystems". He added, "Since its inception, the Fujitsu Group has upheld its purpose of 'bringing trust to society through innovation and making the world more sustainable.' Innovation is indispensable for the progress of humanity, and it has always been achieved through 'Co-creation' across various countries and peoples."

"The UPI system, which astonishes every Japanese visitor to India, would not have been realized or popularized without Fujitsu's world-first online ATM system and the QR code invented by Denso and promoted by Fujitsu." Jiro Stated.

“We don’t look at India as someplace we do backend work. The research we are doing is bleeding edge because we are developing products and leveraging talent here, especially in software,” he said, adding that from a go-to-market perspective, the company doesn’t sell in India. “It’s an important part of our delivery model and research.” mentioned Vivek Mahajan during the media interaction earlier.
