With increasing pace of digitization in India, IBM believes that India is on the cusp of a definitive cognitive era.
Last year, during a visit to India, IBM CEO, Ginni Rometty said that she believes that India can be a world leader in cognitive systems. The reasons for Rometty’s belief - India is on a rapid digitization drive, and is fast moving to create a digital ecosystem powered by technology enablers such as Aadhaar and UPI. The nation is also home to one of the largest developer populations in the world, and has a large number of ISVs who are rapidly helping global clients in their digital journey. This makes India a very unique market - as it is a market that not only has huge domestic potential, but also has huge influencer potential - thanks to its large base of software services players.
India is also a unique market as its enterprises want to give clients access to high quality services at an extremely affordable price point. Be it sectors like telecom, healthcare or financial services - the ability to provide a customized service in a large volume market like India, can be the crucial differentiator. With each sector throwing up large volumes of data - most of it in unstructured form, Indian enterprises face a challenging task in harnessing intelligent insights. With Watson, IBM believes it can help Indian enterprises quickly take completely unstructured data and find new patterns that is not visible to humans, and in effect, amplify the cognitive ability of human beings.
