Today, India’s IoT and smart infra ecosystem is characterised by rapid disruption and continuous evolution. From healthcare to manufacturing to agriculture, home-grown IoT-based solutions are bridging key industry gaps and solving pressing challenges. The innovation and increasing affordability of sensors, on-ground infrastructure development, internet penetration, and readiness for new-age technology adoption have spurred the growth of the domestic IoT and hardware ecosystem. However, this is just the tip of the iceberg.
The collaborative efforts of the government, industry bodies and ecosystem players have been instrumental in driving solution development, deployment and market creation, as well as making the required policy and regulatory changes for IoT and smart infrastructure on ground. The Qualcomm Design in India Challenge (QDIC), Qualcomm’s flagship initiative that discovers and nurtures some of the most innovative product, hardware and IoT startups in the country, has been at the forefront on driving this development. The programme, since its inception six years ago, has continued to spur research and development of products that are designed in India and targeted at both domestic and global markets in areas of robotics, smart homes, smart cities, 5G and much more.
