“The Indian technology landscape has witnessed a tremendous transformation in recent years, with numerous innovative advancements such as quantum science, Robotic Process Automation (RPA), serverless computing, artificial intelligence and machine learning – all paving the way for a brighter future. Additionally, 5G networks have brought significant advancements, including faster data transmission speeds, reduced latency and improved network capacity. We expect 6G to prompt it further and revolutionise the Indian technology landscape.
While India has made significant strides in the sector, we still see a few barriers that need to be addressed for sustainable progress and one such pressing challenge is security. Advancements in digital technologies come with increased cyber threats that are sophisticated, posing risks to sensitive information and data privacy.
The importance of a skilled workforce has not gone unnoticed by the IT sector. The technology workforce skills sector is experiencing significant change, with new innovations disrupting traditional work models. To meet the demand for niche future technology skills, India will continue to focus on upskilling its youth to enhance their employability and core competencies. India's young population gives it a significant edge, and with the right policies and strategies, the future looks bright for the country's technological progress.
At Unisys, we have our largest talent base in India which makes up 25% of our global workforce and creates solutions for the world. We successfully enabled the growth trajectory of our employees amidst the pandemic-led shuffle by helping our associates grow within the organization with skill development programs. This has helped us to facilitate stronger than ever employee-employer relationships.
Leaning into India’s core capabilities and advancements, we are confident that we are ready to meet the most pressing demands of growing technological advancements to create a sustainable future.”
