The big push which was needed for the core sector transformation has been triggered through the pandemic. Be it steel, cement, coal, oil & natural gas- most of the core infrastructure segments of India’s economic growth have seen game changing use of technology & innovation more than ever in last two years. What is the future road map? What are the opportunities and challenges? To discuss all these and many more, ‘APAC Manufacturing Conclave’ organized a special session on ‘Tech Catalyst for India’s Core Infrastructure Builders’.
The session saw the presence of digital transformational leaders from the leading core infrastructure organisations of India. They were- Subrata Banerjee, VP-IT, Vedanta Limited; Manoranjan Kumar, Chief Information Officer, Shree Cements Ltd; Himanshu Sharma, Head of Information Security, Bharat Dalmia Group; Prakash Mani Tripathi, General Manager-IT, Shyam Steel Industries Limited; Ajay Panwar, Senior General Manager – IT, HeidelbergCement India Ltd; Chandan Kumar Barman, Deputy General Manager – IT, Oil India Limited.
Crux of the discussion: Technology is helping in work culture transformation. At the same time automation is playing an important role though a long road remains to be covered. No denying the fact how IT and AI have got a huge push in last two years. However, cyber security still remains to be an area of concern.
