One of the most sought after technology, IoT has marked its presence in the nation over the past couple of years and there are companies that are working relentlessly to push out more solutions to the world. And to be a part of this significant transformation, Indian technology giant Wipro is taking vital steps. Recently, Wipro announced that it is launching of its Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Kochi, Kerala. The company has also stated that this initiative has been taken in order to develop state-of-the-art IIoT solutions for its customers in the industrial manufacturing, automotive, healthcare and pharmaceutical, consumer products and goods, and utility space. This all-new IIoT CoE will be using the sought after technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain and robotics, and develop Proof of Concepts (POCs) and market-ready IoT solutions.

On March 12 and 13, the Indian tech giant hosted a two-day hackathon that witnessed participation from some of the leading engineering colleges in the region of Kochi. IIoT is not the only space where the Indian tech giant is hustling hard, artificial intelligence and 5G is also there in Wipro’s checklist. The firm has recently formed an alliance with Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur (IITKGP) to carry out applied research on 5G and artificial intelligence. The motive behind this partnership is to use the research outcomes by Wipro to develop solutions for its customers, across several verticals.

Outlook India technology base is one of the strongest in the world and it is spread across the country in forms of institutions, labs, research centres etc. and those who would make the correct use of these bases will definitely be benefited. While there are organisations who are trying to form alliances and work together, there are companies too who are in a race to move past its rivals. If we look through a perspective where companies instead of fighting and competing for each, join hands and innovate, wouldn’t it be great? It would not only benefit the nation but would also benefit the young and dynamic technology enthusiasts of India.
