The panel discussion, themed ‘Next-Gen Technology – Reshaping India’s Digital Transformation’, moderated by Rajiv Makhni and panellists included Tarun Pathak from Counterpoint, Faisal Kawoosa from TechArc, Prabhu Ram from CMR, and Kartik Vasudevan from GfK. The panel shared an impactful discussion around the tech trends seen in 2023 along with predictions for 2024.
Tarun Pathak, Research Director at Counterpoint Research said, “For any electronics device, we believe that personalised experiences are going be the real differentiator for consumers going forward. That means deeper integration of advanced technologies leveraging Artificial intelligence leading to a seamless, reliable, and personalised experience with a relentless focus on Ultra-fast connectivity. Hence, companies like MediaTek are nicely positioned in this space, as the tech industry shifts its focus from smart connected devices to smartly connected devices.”
Mohammad Faisal A., Chief Analyst at Techarc said, “Digital Transformation is all pervasive in India which has its own nuances and flavour than rest of the world. In retail DT we have seen it primarily means accepting digital payments where MediaTek has played a key role by powering 1st soundbox which has phenomenally increased the uptake. As DT further paces up in India we would require very specific solutions. At the same, the role of processors will be significant as users are demanding better experiences which cannot happen without a capable chip at the core of these products. This will also enable leveraging AI and other emerging technologies for value addition across digital transformation in India.”
Prabhu Ram, Head – Industry Intelligence Group at CyberMedia Research said, “Edge-AI represents a significant leap forward for augmenting human intelligence. Our ongoing research at CyberMedia Research (CMR) indicates that by transitioning from cloud to on-device AI, new levels of hyper-personalisation, responsiveness, privacy, and customisation can be unlocked. On-device AI assistants can learn and adapt to individual user preferences and behaviour, becoming more attuned and efficient over time, thereby seamlessly getting integrated into our daily lives.”
Kartik Vasudevan, Director, Client Success Management, India at GfK- An NIQ Company said, “With India poised to become the world’s largest smartphone market in the near future, the next-gen technology reshaping India’s Digital Transformation will be on this smartphone engine, driven by the country’s favorable demographics and youth. A large chunk of this shift will be influenced by GenZ as their tech first lifestyle will drive this change. As per GfK’s Consumer Life study conducted in 2023, 58% of surveyed consumers want technology which knows them and can recommend/take actions based on their wants and needs. This is where AI along with high quality performance features and 5G/6G enabled products will play a key role in shaping the country’s digital highway. We see Tier 3 and lower tiers as huge potential to drive this growth.”
