‘IT, non-IT firms can create miracles’

Chandigarh, June 6

"IT and non-IT companies together have the potential to create miracles in India. It is time for tech and non-tech companies to come together to build innovative models and take India to the next stage of growth," said Ajay P Srivastava, Director and Centre Head, STPI, Mohali, Ministry of Communication and Information Technology, addressing at the IT & Non-IT Meet-Up, organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry in Chandigarh on Wednesday.

"Businesses across a wide range of industries have recognised the importance of disruptive technology shifts and are deploying digital technologies to reshape their future. This requires the Indian IT industry to reinvent and be innovative," he added.

Partap K Aggarwal, Managing Director, IDS Infotech, said, "New age technology has touched every aspect of our lives. Businesses are increasingly relying on technology to grow faster, reach wider markets and acquire customers at a breakneck speed. Brands like Ola and Uber have used technology as the heart of their business. Their success makes for a strong case to evaluate the use of technology intrinsic to one's business model to reach milestones." — TNS
