Dr Vishnu Ramachandran, Co-Founder & Chief Technology and Product Officer, Rubix Data Sciences

Technology in the Information gathering, and dissemination domain has evolved from people using standalone tools such as the computer for information creation to the internet where information is widely shared to the era of mobiles and 5G where information is available and consumed in real-time to the new AI generation of assisted intelligence assimilating all information available.

Beas Dev Ralhan, CEO, Next Education

On National Technology Day we should focus on the pivotal role of 21st-century skills such as problem-solving, creative and critical thinking, digital literacy, experiential learning and global competency to help them to become the key-decision makers of tomorrow. The government should also recognise the necessity to modernize the entire educational system through the appropriate use of technology, which can be supported by a number of ed-tech companies as they have the resources to enable tech-based learning for the students.

Nikhil Barshikar, Founder & CEO at Imarticus Learning

I understand the crucial role of technology in today's world. On National Technology Day, I emphasize on the importance of developing new-age digital skills such as data science, full-stack development, cybersecurity, and digital marketing. Our recent study found that 70% of young professionals aim to upskill themselves post-pandemic, indicating the growing need for such skills. With the rapid pace of evolving technology, constant upskilling and adaptation are vital to stay ahead of the curve. At Imarticus, we are dedicated to providing high-quality training to help individuals and organizations. We are enablers in the complex world of technology to upskill, reskill, innovate, and grow.

As we celebrate National Technology Day, it is clear that the role of technology in education has never been more critical. With the pandemic forcing us to rethink traditional models of learning, online education has emerged as a game-changer. At Zell Education, we have long recognized the potential of technology to democratize access to education and help learners realize their full potential. As we continue to navigate these challenging times, we remain committed to providing world-class online learning experiences that equip our students with the skills they need to succeed in today's digital economy.

Trishneet Arora, Founder and CEO of TAC Security

In today's era of digitalization, many businesses across diverse industries have adopted advanced technology to gain a competitive advantage and provide more efficient and globally connected services. As a result, companies are increasingly aware of the importance of cybersecurity in our highly interconnected networks. Recent high-profile cyber attacks have exposed the vulnerabilities that exist within these networks, causing significant concern for businesses.

The effect of cyber threats is catastrophic for organisations of all sizes, thus, it has become essential to keep cybersecurity as a priority. At TAC, we are

committed to leveraging cutting-edge technologies to facilitate end-to-end digital transformation for our global clients and tackle complex business issues. We firmly believe that India possesses the technological expertise and potential needed to drive innovation on a global level, and we are excited to be part of this transformative journey in the years to come.

Ms. Srividya Kannan, Founder & CEO, Avaali Solutions.

Technology has been a driving force behind numerous transformative changes, propelling us toward a better future. May 11, 1998, was a significant technological milestone for India. It marked the day when India successfully tested nuclear missiles. This day is celebrated as National Technology Day to commemorate the achievements of our country's scientific and technological community.

While the nuclear test was a significant achievement, India has come a long way since then. Today, India is among the top countries in the world with a growing technology industry. The country is home to numerous tech start-ups and is considered a global hub for software engineering and IT services.

Technological advancements have revolutionized every sector, be it education, healthcare, or business, and Avaali is proud to be a part of this journey by leveraging cutting-edge technology to drive exceptional results for our clients.

Vinayak Shrivastav, Co – Founder and CEO of Videoverse

A day that recognises the work that goes into the ideation, research, and trials and tribulations behind every new tech that is finally brought to the market is a day for us to feel validated. This being the 25th year makes this Technology Day even more special.

We are all here to push boundaries and explore more impactful ways to apply technology to either enhance the current workflows or bring new-age solutions. VideoVerse is about democratizing the content creation process and we reaffirm our commitment to disrupt and enhance this space.

Technology is the seed for any innovation. Talking specifically for Security screening and Smart cities, AI/ML has opened avenues for threat identification and reinvented the techniques for easy and quick detection. The existing solutions have strengthened the security of citizens to a great extent. They are making it easy for the authorities to keep threats and violations at bay through quick screening, allowing them to take swift action.

Agendra Kumar, Managing Director, Esri India

Technology has a key role to play in building a resilient and sustainable future for everyone, and advanced spatial technologies are playing a crucial role in demystifying the interconnections and interdependencies for solving complex problems and enhancing decision support through timely intelligence. Leveraging the power of GIS, policymakers, development professionals, and community leaders are integrating social, environmental, and economic information in a way that enables them to gain greater insight into complex situations, make data-driven decisions on where to act and apply resources, and collaborate across organizations and around the world. Geospatial information combined with socio-economic and other statistical data also provides critical inputs for addressing the complex challenges of sustainability for businesses. Data availability and sharing have now become easier in India. With enabling policies like the National Geospatial Policy and the Geospatial Data Guidelines in place, the availability of geospatial data has also improved. In such a scenario, GIS will prove to be a more significant tool in assessment, prioritization, mitigation, planning, change management, and capacity building to address economic inequality, social instability, and environmental degradation challenges.

Matthew Foxton, India Regional President and VP Branding and Communications, IDEMIA
