constitutional monarchy country whereby the power and authority of the emperor are limited.
The country has the biggest and highest level of mobile broadband around the world with 4G
wireless internet and mobile telecommunications networks that is covering 99% of the
population (Japangov, 2017). The aim of the Japanese government is to attract a wide range of
Indian IT organizations and across 2 lakh IT professionals or experts to handle and overcome the
shortage of IT experts in the country (Singh, 2018). It is evident that the Japanese government
had established an IOT acceleration Lab where many Indian organizations had already
contributed. The IT system of Japan is not more strong and unique as compared to the Indian. On
the other hand, the IT industry is one of the biggest and unique sectors in India in today’s
modern world. The Indian government has transformed India into a digitally and unique
