Overview

“Move fast and break things. Unless you are breaking stuff, you are not moving fast enough.” – Mark Zuckerberg. The state of India is very relevant to this very popular quote by one of the youngest and greatest leaders of our times. In the past 7 to 8 years, the Government’s agenda has been to accelerate growth and position India as a pioneer in every possible domain. The vision of $5 trillion economy is distant, but achievable and industry 4.0 is poised to achieve this goal, and in this journey, Public Sector Enterprises or PSUs will play a major role.

Since the independence, PSUs have played a crucial role in the overall development of our country by providing a balanced regional development and in equitable redistribution of wealth and income. To achieve the target of making India a US$ 5 trillion economy, the government would like the PSUs to play a bigger role by increasing their contribution to our GDP from the current level of contribution. And this can only be possible by adoption of intelligent digital transformation i.e data analytics, transparency, thereby efficiency improving operations and reducing costs. All these to ensure that the pillars of our economy, the Public Sector Units, are future ready to tackle any unforeseen events, such as the coronavirus pandemic.

Forbes’ David Kirkpatrick famously claimed, “Now every company is a software company.” The same thing has become true of data: Every company is now a data company, too. That’s because insights from analytics have become an essential driver of innovation, optimization, and competitive edge.
