Breakout year for DARQ tech

For the upcoming decade, while familiar subjects such as cloud computing (including everything-as-aservice, or XaaS) and AI will continue to dominate technology headlines, 2020 could be a breakout year for “DARQ tech” (the set of new technologies - distributed ledger technology, AI, extended reality and quantum computing). There are also substantial new social and commercial opportunities – such as adult education, care economy, employment services – that make India ripe to be profited and take the leadership spot at the global technology stage. Today, technology can help solve real world problems and provide opportunities for inclusive prosperity. However, in order to accelerate the technological growth, the country needs to attract more foreign investment, offer tailored upskilling programs, retain home-grown talent, as well as create a favorable regulatory environment.
