DISCUSSING THE IMPORTANCE of AI, Prakash Mallya, Managing Director for South Asia, Intel, in an interaction with EC’s Rachana Jha, states why Intel is bullish about India’s market potential, and highlights the company’s efforts in making 5G a reality in India
What have been some of the major initiatives that Intel has taken in the past one year?
We see tremendous opportunity in the growth of cloud and data centers, which makes India a strategic region for our growth, contributing significantly to Intel’s technology and product leadership. Perhaps our biggest asset is our dual ability to develop a full suite of hardware, from robots to drones, as well as define the network infrastructure build on cloud and data centers, upon which these technologies operate. This is why our strategy is to transform from a PC-centric company to a datacentric company.
Our leadership under the data center group business in India pivots on high performance computing (HPC), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and cloud and analytics. In India, we see potential in the BFSI, telecom, and e-commerce sectors, across big data, and Internet of Things (IoT), which are complementary to HPC and AI. In fact, there is already an uptake in the HPC segment among the academia and local customers, including the National Stock Exchange (NSE), and cloud service provider NxtGen. We have recently introduced the Intel Xeon scalable processor family platform, which will provide a foundation for AI, HPC and cloud. Earlier this year, we also hosted the India edition of our global AI Day, to showcase the companies that are effectively using M2M learning to make nimble business decisions, the solutions that hold potential for India, and Intel’s commitment to making that happen. 15,000 developers are already being trained under this initiative, and it won’t be long before we start seeing the real impact.
How do you see the evolution of the IT industry in India?
The IT industry in India is witnessing a sea change with the advent of new-age technologies such as AI, big data analytics, IoT, as well as digital-first policies such as the now implemented GST and the 5G proposal.
