What will the office of tomorrow look like?edit
The rapid growth of the IoT means that your office may already be smarter than you think. Sensors embedded in the walls, ceiling and floors could be carrying out a multitude of tasks, ranging from detecting if a room is empty and turning of the lights, or monitoring the amount of rubbish in a bin. For the current generation of office workers at least, it seems that technology is just as likely to make their jobs more pleasant and productive as it is to eliminate them.

The loT can be defined as,”A world of interconnected things that are capable of sensing, actuating and communicating among themselves and with the environment (i.e., smart things or smart objects), while providing the ability to share information and act in parts autonomously to real/physical world events and by triggering processes and creating services with or without direct human intervention.”

As long as there are developers working in both the proprietary software and the open source software spaces, the debate about which one is better will continue. Proprietary software is driven by the profit motive whereas open source is driven by the concept of sharing knowledge
IoTIs smart technology invading our privacy?edit
The Internet of Things (IoT) is here and is growing faster than the blink of an eye. Today it has the potential to simplify life’s everyday tasks; tomorrow it will drive your car. The IoT is so big, it has been described as the next “Industrial Revolution”.
Fourth Industrial RevolutionIoTSmart TechnologyApplying Machine Learning to IoTedit
We are undoubtedly becoming ‘smarter’ in various aspects of our daily life, with IoT and machine learning (ML) playing a crucial role in this. Well known thought leaders like Bill Gates and Dr Judith Dayhoff (author of ‘Neural Network Architectures: An Introduction’) say that the IoT has given our physical inanimate world a digital nervous system.

Govt needs to push charging infrastructure for e-mobility: Pawan Goenkaedit
There will be hiccups, there will be growing pains in the beginning, there will be learning curve but I think if they put their mind to it, it can happen. And to some extent perhaps, the OEMs need to go beyond just providing vehicles to providing service and in fact, after listening to everything for two days, I am seriously thinking whether Mahindra should be doing more in terms of providing mobility as a service rather than just providing vehicles.
EV Charging InfrastructureDriverless tractors could revolutionise farming in Indiaedit
Escorts recently showcased an autonomous tractor concept. It uses the internet of things (IOT) concept and artificial intelligence (AI) tools developed by Microsoft. Escorts has also partnered with Bosch and Reliance Jio for this project. In September 2017, Mahindra had unveiled its first driverless tractor. It uses a GPS-based technology to autonomously maneuver itself around the farm and can be operated using a tablet.

By Rajendra Saxena
The digital technology to manage a car has moved from traditional GPS tracking to new telematics devices. With the help of car telematics devices drivers can improve their driving style, maintain the vehicle’s efficiency, save on fuel and maintenance costs, and always stay connected with their cars. Telematics devices installed in the car track the engine’s health, the driving behaviour and provide real-time analytics.

Educating the next billion workforceedit
Education startups will play a pivotal role in achieving this and lead disruption in the sector especially in higher education and continuous learning. In higher education, classroom based traditional curriculums will need to be constantly updated or supplemented to keep up with increasing skill changes in the job market. For example, traditional engineering is slowly dying and students aren’t taught data science, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence etc. at college.

Clean energy sector powering up with new capacity additionedit
By G Balachander
The clean energy sector, comprising solar, wind, small hydro and bio power, is expected to add a total capacity of 15,602 MW in 2018-19, while the new capacity target for the conventional sector has been pegged at 8106 MW (thermal at 7,266 MW and hydro at 840 MW).

India’s ambition is similarly clear and ambitious. The target to establish 175 GW of new renewable energy by 2022 is world-leading. India’s ambition for most new vehicles to be zero emission by 2030 is equally stretching. This is an important week for progressing our partnership. Last weekend’s Global Mobility Summit, for which I was in New Delhi, was an important step in developing a clean, efficient and affordable mobility ecosystem.
