'Tomorrow's businesses will be built with technologies like AI & IoT'

Raman Roy, Chairman-NASSCOM and CMD - Quatrro

“Whoever builds the enterprise of tomorrow by using next generation technologies like AI, IoT will make multi-billion dollars. From January 2015 to June 2016, out of the population of 7.2 billion on this planet, active internet users were 3 billion, active social accounts were 2 billion, mobile users 3.6 billion and active mobile social accounts were 1.6 billion. In 2015 there was a huge penetration but if you take the number of connected devices, by the year 2020 we will have 50 billion connected devices, whether it is your car, refrigerator or air conditioner. I monitor all of them on my smartphone today. Sitting in US, I have some cameras fixed to see what is happening in the periphery of my house merely by clicking one of the apps on my phone, other than the fact that I am connected to the internet or to a 3G/4G network.”
