VARINDIA- INDIA'S FRONTLINE IT MAGAZINE     Himanshu Gupta, Deputy Director, ZTE India     As a technology player, the new wave of digitalization is very exhilarating for us. Every day, new changes are coming up with the Mr Narendra Modi-led government in terms of technology, which seems to be quite promising for India. Digitalization will enable the government in meeting the public needs and demands in a more convenient fashion and vice versa. We, at ZTE, see this phenomenon as a chance to grow in the Indian market. ZTE has always considered going digital as an important aspect of what the future has in store for us. A smartphone for every Indian with a fast Internet connection will not only enable the people but also drive growth in the country faster. Since India is still majorly an agrarian economy, the prospect of being a fully digitized nation is a bit futuristic. Even today, more than half the population cannot access the Internet. In order to make In

VARINDIA- INDIA'S FRONTLINE IT MAGAZINE     Manoj Khadkikar, HOD for Channel Solutions Group, Zicom       The Internet of Things (IoT) has enabled connectivity in a big way. Every device is now connected with other devices and they are all together linked to the Command Control Centre. Zicom is helping this process so that more and more devices become automated and the vast data empower these devices to predict ahead of things that are going to happen. This, in turn, makes them more preemptive and preventive rather than simply reactive which was the case hitherto. So, from the security perspective, digitization augurs well, and Zicom is offering security solutions both directly and indirectly to many of these projects. Making India digital is a humongous task and therefore challenges en route are inevitable. Some of the challenges like inadequate infrastructure, lack of education and necessary skills, economic and linguistic barriers are all known bottleneck

VARINDIA- INDIA'S FRONTLINE IT MAGAZINE   Rahul Agarwal, Executive Director-Commercial Business Segment, Lenovo India    India, with 243 million internet users, is a striking example of the Internet’s growth potential.

The upcoming rollout of the Government’s ambitious Digital India initiative is expected to positively impact the current levels of Internet penetration, thus enhancing and improving educational, economic and social development of the country. As a growing brand with a consistent focus on innovation, we are confident that this new e-governance p
