Innovations transforming the startup landscape: From Cloud, Al to Cybersecurity

The TiE Mumbai Thought Leadership Series Round Table Discussions on 18th February, 2023 focused on the tech startup community and the latest trends and challenges facing digital native businesses. The round table brought together experts and thought leaders — CISOs, IT heads, CTOs and founders from the tech startup community to share their insights, experiences and best practices in these critical areas. The goal of the discussion was to provide valuable insights and actionable advice for tech startups looking to succeed in today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape.

The trend in the tech startup community is towards digital native businesses that are highly agile, data-driven and leveraging cloud-based technologies. There is a focus on using technology to create new business models, improve customer experiences, and drive operational efficiency. Companies are also prioritizing data privacy and security, as well as sustainability and ethical considerations, in their technology choices and practices. Additionally, there is a growing trend towards decentralized and distributed systems, such as blockchain, that aim to increase transparency, security and trust in digital transactions and interactions. Most of them opined that using cloud-native technologies, including multi-cloud, helped them build flexible infrastructure in such a way that they could scale up and change scenarios with ease. However, there were pain points for which they sought solutions.
