The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has introduced the 'Sangam: Digital Twin' initiative, a venture inviting Expressions of Interest (EoI) from industry pioneers, startups, MSMEs, academia, innovators and forward-thinkers.

It is a proof-of-concept (PoC) distributed in two stages to be conducted in one of the major cities of India.
- The first stage focuses on exploratory activities and creative exploration, while the second stage involves practical demonstrations of specific use cases.
- POC is a demonstration of a product, service, or solution that shows it can meet customer needs and provides a business case for adoption.
Digital Twin technology involves creating a virtual replica or simulation of a physical object or system.
- This digital counterpart mirrors the physical entity in real-time or near-real-time, allowing for monitoring, analysis, and simulation.
Through Sangam, India aims to establish leadership in digital infrastructure and innovation.
