Bill Gates, the former Microsoft CEO and philanthropist, faced backlash online after describing India as a “kind of laboratory to try things” during a podcast with Reid Hoffman. “India is an example of a country where there are plenty of things that are difficult – the health, nutrition, education are improving, and they are stable enough and generating their own government revenue enough that it’s very likely that 20 years from now, people will be dramatically better off,” Gates said in the podcast. Speaking about India’s role in innovation, Gates said, “It’s kind of a laboratory to try things that, once proven in India, can be scaled to other regions.” He also noted that India is home to the Gates Foundation’s largest office outside the US and serves as the location for the Foundation's most extensive pilot programs worldwide. pic.twitter.com/dxuCvQ44gg — Vijay Patel🇮🇳 December 2, 2024 However, the term "laboratory" sparked backlash from many social media users, who accused Gates of reducing India to an experimental ground.
