Amidst the relentless adoption of disruptive technologies (artificial intelligence, big data, and the Internet of Things, IoT), India observes rapid advancements in areas such as healthcare, education, agriculture, finance, Infratech, renewable energy production, and retail.  Digital transformation is an important driver of India's economic growth, transforming several fields, and paving the way towards innovation, efficiency, and greater productivity.

These digital solutions generate service delivery enhancements, connectivity improvements, and the development of business models that facilitate the prosperity of urban and rural economies. Although digital transformation in India currently thrives on scale, it's not only fostering growth but also driving the global digital economy.

Digital Adoption in Global Infrastructure 

Talking about the government smart Mission, Anoop G Prabhu, Co-founder & CTO of Vehant Technologies, said The Smart Cities Mission has improved urban living standards, safety, and public services, including Integrated Command and Control Centres (ICCC) in 100 smart cities, along with the implementation of Intelligent Traffic Management Systems (ITMS). The ITMS installations, monitored through ICS, have optimized traffic operations, enforced traffic regulations, improved violation detection, and enabled real-time data analysis for smarter traffic flow management and quicker incident responses. The Infratech Industry has witnessed the real impact of government initiatives on tech-driven infrastructure solutions, where we have successfully deployed our technologies across 70+ cities. These milestones inspire us to embrace upcoming challenges and continue delivering customizable, advanced AI-based solutions for these verticals.

Looking ahead to 2025, the industry focus will shift towards scaling and stabilizing some of the analytics technology around new use cases, with a particular emphasis on large-area monitoring solutions tailored for public safety in terms of mass gatherings and more deployments in smart cities. These advancements will also introduce transformative AI-driven use cases in industries, factories, and enterprise premises. This next phase promises a significant leap in adopting AI-driven analytics empowering smarter infrastructure, better safety, and improved efficiency for both cities and enterprises, Mr. Prabhu added.
