Cloud, mobility and big data to dominate IT industry growth - get trainings wisely for a great career
IT firms eager for specific talent for emerging business areas
The rise of analytics, big-data, mobile applications and other new technologies have clear parallels with the rise of the private insurance industry in India two decades back when people in the sector had to understand the techniques and new business models, said Abhijit Bhaduri, Chief Learning Officer at India's third-largest software firm Wipro Technologies.
"Analytics and big data are emerging areas of technology for us and there is a demand-supply issue here," said Bhaduri, who has led HR teams at Pepsico, Colgate and Microsoft. "But very soon, everyone's going to pick up these skills as this sector evolves and clients define their requirements."
The Indian IT industry, which is projected to more than double in size to $225 billion by 2020, can count on cloud, mobility and big data to dominate growth.

Will 'big data' transform your industry?
The volume of data that businesses collect is exploding: in 15 of the US economy's 17 sectors, for example, companies with upward of 1,000 employees store, on average, more information than the Library of Congress does. New academic research suggests that companies using this kind of "big data" and business analytics to guide their decisions are more productive and have higher returns on equity than competitors that do not.
