Lux Rao, Director & Head – Solutions, Dimension Data India

“In terms of Digital India there are several opportunities that have opened up. It is providing an opportunity to build the broadband infrastructure for the country. We are actually becoming a digital native nation which means majority of our population is digitally savvy. It opens up plenty of opportunities by way of identity solutions, payment systems, web delivery structure etc. We are hearing a lot about some of the technology advancements that are riding on top of digital infrastructure. 
 

It is an exciting time for IT fraternity because Digital India is providing an entire platform for delivering services easily. 
 

One thing we have to keep in mind that with such enormous amount of data being available of the citizens, one of the things that we need to be cognizant of is cyber security. It is a critical piece that needs to be taken seriously. As part of the defence, security should be embedded in the design itself. It is applicable for every organization small or large because data is extremely attractive for hackers. 

There are multiple benefits in digital transformation. Healthcare has gained significantly from digital revolution. Smart Cities is a part of Digital India mission and it will enable the citizens. I believe smart cities will enhance citizen’s life, technology makes smart cities possible however citizen is the center point of any smart city initiative. If we keep the citizens in the center and provide services and values to the citizen only that city will become smart.”
