The Indian IT industry: 2017 and beyond
The Indian IT industry has learnt the hard way that there’s a price to pay for not being at the forefront on technological change. And it’s fixing that fast. It is ensuring that it is better prepared for the future. And, right now, industry leaders are betting on artificial intelligence and cognitive computing. “As an industry, we are used to being told by our customers what they want.

But the point is that they industry needs to think ahead and make bets on where they will invest.”

Indian startup ecosystem… Older generation entrepreneurs
Soota’s startup story is as unique as it has shaped out to be. Being something of a serial entrepreneur, Soota started Mindtree in 1999 at the age of 58 and is now at it again, this time with a new start up called Happiest Minds, a next-generation IT company. After some three decades already in the IT sector, Soota believes that a late-stage entrepreneur like himself has several advantages. “If you have a good track record, it becomes easier to get funding at good valuations. I had a good plan to scale the company and I have a better network. Mindtree works in a crowded space. There are people out there who are doing similar things. So my biggest apprehension was always why a customer would come to us. But after the first four or five customers, I overcame that as well,” says Soota.
