Riding The Tech Bandwagon

The Alibaba Computing Conference 2018 held recently in Hangzhou, China clearly drove home how Alibaba has morphed into a computing behemoth across the IT value chain. It has created a well-meshed delivery of services around its core eCommerce and has significantly diversified across Cloud, Digital Media, Payments and Entertainment. The company has built an ecosystem developed around its platforms and businesses that consists of consumers, merchants, brands, retailers, third-party service providers and strategic alliance partners.

The 2018 conference was all about Alibaba and its future progression into a diversified IT player. While it’s an undisputed king in the region in the core commerce business, the focus was on Cloud and how Alibaba is playing to the global demands of the digital age in which Cloud is the key component.

Alibaba Cloud is not new, established in 2009. As per Gartner, Alibaba Cloud is one among the top 3 IaaS providers in the world. The company provides a comprehensive suite of Cloud computing services across verticals and it is also the official Cloud services partner for the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

V. Rajaraman: The teacher who built India's computing mind, no more

When a teacher departs, the blackboards weep. A generation of learners, spread across the world, pause and go back in time, overwhelmed by a quiet sense of gratitude and loss. Such is life, and such is India’s timeless Guru-Shishya parampara, where many jambavans silently walk the corridors of knowledge, leaving behind an imprint that endures long after they are gone.
