Priya Mallya, Country Leader, Developer Ecosystem, IBM India

“IBM is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on any basis while hiring a candidate. Our hiring procedures are singularly based on the candidate’s skills, experience and how well it matches the job requirements. IBM creates a workplace culture that embraces authenticity and bringing our “complete self” to office – a culture of empathy and compassion that make everyone to be confident in their daily work.

IBM also invests in early intervention programs that keep women from exiting the workplace at mid-career and middle management positions because they are challenged to balance family and work or hesitant to ask for support.

Dare to be ambitious. Don't settle. Never be shy to show your value and power and embrace every opportunity in the world to achieve your dreams. We excel at multi-tasking, we are innately compassionate, we are peace-makers, we are mountain-movers - let's all put our strengths together to build a better and more inclusive tomorrow!

As emerging technologies such as AI, automation, IoT and blockchain become pervasive, their combined impact has started reshaping standard business/technology architectures. A clear pattern is emerging among organizations - whether incumbents or new entrants - their focus is to go digital to be able to accommodate high customer expectations and deal with pervasive interconnectivity. As random acts of digital of the past get replaced with real digital transformation, these emerging technologies will become pervasive and their combined impact will reshape the business. We call this Chapter 2 – moving from experimentation to true transformation, gaining speed and scale in digital transformation.”
