National Technology Day 2023 Live Updates: Technology transforming industries

Sanjeev Chabbra, Managing Director & CEO at Beetel Teletech Ltd.

India’s technology landscape has evolved significantly over the past few years, and this trend is set to continue in the future. One of the most significant changes is the rise of cloud computing, which has transformed the way businesses manage and store data.

The adoption of cloud computing has led to the emergence of several other technologies, such as serverless computing, which has further reduced the cost and complexity of building and deploying applications. Additionally, advances in machine learning and artificial intelligence have allowed organizations to gain deeper insights into their data and make more informed decisions.

Another trend that has emerged in recent years is the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT), which has led to the proliferation of connected devices and the collection of vast amounts of data. This data can be used to improve operational efficiency, optimize business processes, and even create new revenue streams.
