Can you throw light on some of the major trends that are shaping the Indian it industry? how will these new trends evolve in 2018?

We live in an app and software world, and developers are constantly looking at building the ‘Next Big Thing’. India is the second-largest online market with over 450 mn internet users behind China and is expected to witness a digital transformation in next few years. This trend is largely driven by the Government’s push towards digital initiatives. Some of the major trends we see in 2018 are in frontier-technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), SMAC, IoT and blockchain. The sectors which are likely to gain precedence are Healthtech, Agri-tech, Edu-tech, e-Commerce and Digital Payments. There is a growing interest among developers about emerging technologies, and to cater to these demands, we have built tools that are designed to support these emerging technologies.
