The volume and variety of data that your organization holds or
accesses today
is
much greater than it was a few years ago. Next year it will be greater still. As your data
resources grow, so do
the opportunities to draw more profound, more powerful insights about your customers,
competitive landscape and internal processes.
In the last few years, digital transformation has been afoot at companies big and
small. 2020 became a wakeup call for those that still needed a nudge. As we went indoors and
work went remote, the only blueprint for survival worth its claim recommended tightening the
purse strings
on all things but digital -capitalizing on data analytics, cloud computing, AI and ML, to
continue work and serve
customers. Digitisation has often been touted as a tool to gain an edge over competition. In
2020, it also
became the survival tool.
The Mavericks - CTO Conversations will bring together
technology leaders of
Digital Native Businesses in India who took the challenge head-on and wielded
the power of technologies to drive, survive and thrive during a crisis to share
their lessons, many successes and even failures.
The conversations with the CTOs will be about their hands-on approach to the
ever-changing world of digital solutions. CTOs are the executors of the founder's
vision. Their methods of adaptation of the infrastructure decide if companies will
succeed or fail. This changes their leadership scope--making it a more public-facing
role. These conversations will focus on how a technology edge and digital solutions
enhanced their businesses to scale and keep their focus on customer-centricity by
delivering a superior experience.
In the third instalment for CTO Conversations, we discussed how Modern apps are disrupting economic models, payments operating models and consumer behaviour. At a time when everyone is pouring millions into tech, reliance on modern apps can increase efficacy. But with more than 500 million new apps expected to be built over the next few years, organisations will have to find a balance between managing technology and building new features.
It becomes a CTO's prerogative to deploy this tool efficiently.
In the fourth chapter, we will discuss how the FinTech industry is capitalising on the benefits of the cloud. It is creating an epochal disruption, the impact of which is yet to be seen. Exponentially growing computing power, widespread internet penetration, and increased internet speed and coverage, coupled with demand-side stimulants like need for inclusive financial services, customer expectations, and the business need to reduce costs while providing faster, safer, and more reliable services are some of the key factors shaping the FinTech revolution in India.

a greater return on investments.
