Aligned with PM Narendra Modi's #MakeInIndia vision to establish India as a leading manufacturing hub, it's clear that our manufacturing sector must rise to the occasion and take the benefit of this government initiative. However, achieving this goal is easier said than done. The Indian manufacturing industry must work diligently to compete with developed nations that have long dominated the global landscape.   To meet the government's targets, a fundamental shift in mindset is necessary. We cannot achieve our objectives with just a labor-centric approach; embracing technology as an ally is crucial to compete with global industrial powerhouses. Moreover, combining capital investments with skill enhancement is not a choice but need of the hour. Investing in advanced technologies and infrastructure will enable us to build a competitive and resilient future for Indian manufacturing.   Let’s not miss the bus on this transformative journey. Technology can be our friend in building a competitive and resilient future for Indian manufacturing   #MakeInIndia #Manufacturing #Innovation #Investment #DigitalTransformation #ERP

PART - 2 Relationship with Atal Bihari Vajpayee 1)     Siva recalls his memories where PM Vajpayee helped him approve his files by all the members under him. 2)     He supported the young entrepreneur- Sivasankaran and did justice to him by helping him. Vodafone and Idea 1)     In his opinion, Vodafone may not win, even if it invests, but it is good for the country if it wins. It is because they’ll make sure that they bring technology to India. 2)     He says that there is a difference between Birla, who backs Idea, and Amabanis. Ambanis are committed to telecom, but Birla is not passionate enough Which country is best to live in? 1)     He suggests India to be the best country to live because of unity in diversity. We have one PM for multiple large states. 2)     India is also the world’s best medical system because of its spontaneity in treatment as compared to other countries like UK. But he feels sorry for the doctors of India because they are underpaid. Why lack of preventive healthcare in India? 1)     Preventive healthcare is not taught in medical colleges. So, we can’t have preventive healthcare until it is introduced, taught and practiced. 2)     He expects to change this system in the coming 10 years by introducing preventive healthcare in India. 3)     He also suggests to eat blueberries (or pomegranate as an alternative) awels it resolves almost all the issues. In vegetables, broccoli is the power house. Orange sweet potato and any green vegetable should be consumed. Is wellness expensive? 1)     In his accordance, the base of wellness, i.e. air is free. It comprises of 80 percent of your wellness. 2)     The way you breathe matters. If you are mouth- breather, you may lose 7 years of your life. 3)     The principle of breathing should be learned.

is Hinjewadi dying as IT hub? Finally the local news and politicians are saying what most of us knew anyway. At least 37 IT companies are leaving hinjewadi due to traffic issues. Of course police will implement more one ways but the issue with hinjewadi is more systemic than infra. To begin with the approach roads to IT park were always aligned with the real estate market since last 20 years .As such there is no geographical limitation that couldn't allow multiple spacious roads to the park like we see in Hyderabad . So much so that the for 5,6 years portions of national highway leading to park wasn't even completed. At the same time during 2008 crisis the land in IT park was allowed to be used for housing. That changed the perception about hinjewadi. But most importantly there was another IT park that was to come up in other part of the city.Ideally more IT park is great news for the ecosystem but at pune it played out differently. Now that Pune is finally seeing the arrival of unicorns and Faang companies the verdict is clearly not in favour of Hinjewadi . It has become an old mens club. What about the new metro line? one may say ,well if we could geo map the location from where resumes are sent to hinjewadi companies,the answer will be evident. Hinjewadi is old mens club where at times kids from Baner companies come for break.<EOF> #pune #hinjewadi

Minfy I'm honored to have participated as a panelist at the CNBC-TV18 & TiE Delhi-NCR's India Internet Day 2024 event, discussing the cutting-edge topic "Optimizing Operations: The AI Revolution in Industry and Commerce." The discourse was both invigorating and insightful, prompting several key observations on the future of AI adoption: The Human-AI Synergy As Professor Karim Lakhani astutely noted, the future belongs to "Humans with AI" rather than "Humans without AI". This paradigm shift underscores the importance of embracing AI as a collaborative tool rather than viewing it as a replacement for human intelligence. Proliferation of AI Agents In the coming years, we can expect to see AI agents outnumbering human workers in various sectors. This trend will likely lead to increased efficiency and productivity across industries, but also necessitates careful consideration of the ethical and societal implications. The Generative AI Timeline According to Gartner's 2024 AI Hype Cycle, we are currently in the second year of a two-year technology cycle for Generative AI. This rapid progression highlights the urgency for businesses to adapt and integrate these technologies to remain competitive. The Promise of AGI Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is poised to be the driving force behind major industrial advancements. While we're not there yet, the potential for AGI to revolutionize problem-solving and decision-making across sectors is immense. AI-Enabled Organizational Ecosystems The future of organizational IT landscapes will likely feature AI-enabled core applications with intercommunicating AI agents, facilitating seamless information flow. We may even see the emergence of AI agents dedicated to C-suite executives, to provide rapid, data-driven insights for high-level decision-making. These developments promise to reshape the business landscape, offering unprecedented opportunities for optimization and innovation. As we navigate this AI revolution, it's crucial to remain adaptable, ethical, and forward-thinking in our approach to technology integration. #AIRevolution #FutureOfWork #TechInnovation #BusinessAI #AGI #GenerativeAI #AIAdoption #DigitalTransformation #IID #AIAgents Vikram Manchanda Ekhlaque Bari Vijay Jain ☁ ISB Alumni Association Alumni Association, BIET Jhansi Harvard Business School Online Minfy DynaptMAX Zawter WVE - Business Technology Strategy

India's electronics manufacturing sector is poised for remarkable growth, with projections indicating a quadrupling to $450 billion by 2030, as reported by Nomura. The industry's growth is primarily fueled by global players like Apple and Samsung increasing their sourcing, alongside a drive for localization in automobiles and expanded usage in key sectors such as railways, telecom, and defense. Nomura's analysis further highlights a significant rise in exports, expected to grow at a 35% CAGR to $210 billion by 2030, while domestic consumption is forecasted to see a 15% annual increase. The government's strategic measures, including the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes amounting to $20 billion, play a pivotal role in boosting domestic manufacturing. Noteworthy is the substantial allocation towards semiconductor and electronic component manufacturing, reflecting a concerted effort to fortify the component ecosystem. The convergence of these catalysts outlines a promising outlook for India's electronics manufacturing industry, paving the way for substantial expansion and heightened global competitiveness in the years ahead.

Recently, I spoke to Hemanshi Tewari regarding challenges around data security and how needs around protecting data are become more important than ever. With the introduction of the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) act of 2023, India is slowing warming up to the notion of respect for data privacy that, currently, is a fact condoned by most of the institutions. Similar laws such as CCPA of California, HIPAA of the US and GDPR of Europe are already in motion. My first encounter with data protection was in late 1990s when I was working on a data warehousing project for the Office of Medicaid, State of New York. The goal of the project was to identify fraud in the Mediclaim program where fraudsters would use multiple social security numbers (SSNs) to avail the health benefits of the program. Personal details such as SSN, name, address, and phone number were obfuscated and stored in the database. More sophisticated algorithms that use the concept of public and private keys are now available to create data vaults. In case there is a data breach, the data stolen will be totally useless as in absence of the key to unencrypt the data, the hacker will not be able to make heads to tails of it. Data protection algorithms will not prevent breaches. For that one would need robust cybersecurity measures in place. I had the pleasure of meeting Anshu Sharma, CEO and co-founder of Skyflow and we discussed the use of AI and GenAI in improving the efficacy of data encryption algorithms and APIs. The business model of Skyflow has been acknowledged by the data and software community as is evident from the recent fundraising exercise. Skyflow is making its presence felt in India also. Encryption of data, generally, requires the user to have knowledge of data fields pertinent to Personal Identifiable Information (PII). But what if you have data that would be considered as PII but you are not aware of it. In other words, you do not know what you do not know. This is where LLM and GenAI can play a role. For example, if farmers are registered and a new data field called farmer_id is created then this field would be PII as it is akin to Aadhar ID or the PAN number. You may not know it but the LLMs would make you realize that! Thanks Saima Khan, Sayli Mhaske ( Dorothy Pereira ) for giving me the opportunity to share my thoughts with ETCIO.
