Impact of Digitization on Businesses

As the country is moving aggressively towards digitization and transformation, Intel sees tremendous opportunity in the growth of cloud and datacenters, which makes India a strategic region for our growth, contributing significantly to Intel’s technology and product leadership. Perhaps our biggest asset is our dual ability to develop a full suite of hardware, from robots to drones, as well as define the network infrastructure built on cloud and datacenters, upon which these technologies operate. 

Intel expands the boundaries of technology to make the most amazing experiences possible. Our leadership under the datacenter group business in India pivots on high performance computing (HPC), artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud & analytics. In India, we see potential in the BFSI, telecom, and e-commerce sectors, across HPC, big data, and Internet of Things, all of which are complementary to AI. In fact, there is already an uptake in the HPC segment among the academia and local customers, including the National Stock Exchange, and cloud service provider NxtGen. Last year, we hosted the India edition of our global AI Day, to showcase the companies that are effectively using M2M learning to make nimble business decisions, the solutions that hold potential for India, and Intel’s commitment to make that happen.

Newer technology disrupting existing technology

Digital transformation is driven partly by technology and also by the evolution of customer behaviour.The technology market in India is witnessing a sea change with the advent of new-age technologies like artificial intelligence, big data analytics, IoT, as well as digital-first policies like GST and the 5G proposal. We are building the next generation of these technologies, which puts us in a unique vantage point to help drive the future of the country’s fourth industrial revolution. 

Given our presence at the edge and at the datacenter, we can ensure a seamlessly integrated and secure IoT environment combined with our processor capabilities. With our expertise and assets, we are venturing into artificial intelligence, 5G, IoT, HPC and smart wearables, all powered by cloud-connectivity, to enhance the value proposition we bring to our consumers here through Intel architecture. Hence, Intel is uniquely positioned to deliver insights from data, which in turn is driving innovation, releasing new services and businesses back into the Indian economy.
