Competency Development- Establishing COE

4

• Creating Competence • Create industry capacity in talent, technology start-up ecosystem

• Build competency by showcasing domain capabilities and increased self reliance thru building domain research scholars and missing gurus; prototype facility

• Physical Infrastructure• Provide common physical infrastructure to de-bottleneck required resource to

convert “idea” into “reality”

• Open space for democratizing innovation ;Common space for “challenges”, “meet-ups” & “hackathons”

• Partnerships • Build capacity by aligning academia and industry to facilitate solutions to

common challenges and provide a repository of experts in the country

• Discussions on with Govts to establish a joint COE for IOT to establish multiple Labs across the country with a pilot to begin at Bangalore.

• Position products engineered for local conditions and global market and contributing to Indigenisation

New Market Access…. Collaboration with other agencies

5

• Collaboration – • Aligned with Make in India campaign and Digital India program

• Develop an entrepreneurship, product and software solutions eco system in impact areas like IoT, Defence, telecom

• Joint Advocacy program with Government in priority areas

• Leverage existing capability• Rising convergence of hardware, software and services providing opportunity

for packaged solutions.

• Compelling story on India’s leadership in building and delivering IT solutions

• Provide integrated capabilities for value addition in manufacture and design

New Market Access… Views from NASSCOM Japan delegation

6

• Huge amount of political camaraderie in full public view ; need to find ways to keep this momentum going in months to come

• Need to translate Political goodwill created into more business opportunities

• Challenges that confront Japan are known viz. demographic, increased competition, etc.

• Warming up to India but are still unsure if Indian IT & ITES can be reliable partner

• Perception about India is ‘hazy’ – most respect tech industry’s credentials but are not sure:

o If chaotic India can create cutting-edge solution

o Overwhelming images of Bharat than India for the ones who’ve travelled

o Popular belief seems to be - more of back office to the west

• Lower language dependency makes Engineering Services a low-hanging fruit
