Deloitte Digital has launched its operations in India. “Technology has become a part of the strategic priority of enterprises. New businesses are hinging on technology, and have to prioritise work with an eye on predicting the future. Technology has to be built into the business plans, and will be in the forefront of CEOs and executives agendas,” Rakesh Barik, partner, leader for technology at Deloitte India said.
“For years, IT has helped re-engineer the businesses, yet few shops have re-engineered themselves with the same vision, discipline and rigor. That’s about to change. Over the next 18-24 months, we will see CIOs re-engineering not only their IT shops, but broadly, their approaches to technology. I call this Horizon 1.5,” said Bill Briggs, the chief technology officer of Deloitte Consulting Globally.
“Deloitte Digital combines its globally recognised strength in business transformation and technology implementation with the creative and digital capabilities of its studios to advance the customer experience for businesses around the world,” Ajit Kumar, leader, Deloitte Digital, Deloitte India said. “It is a combination of a digital agency and consultancy under one, integrated, global practice. It is the right time to set up shop in India as brands here are eager to embrace digital.”
“With the Indian government’s emphasis on digital initiatives, we would like to drive this mission home,” he added. Sectors served by Deloitte Digital’s new offices include banking and insurance, manufacturing, energy and resources, retail and consumer goods, healthcare and life sciences, technology, media and telecom and the public sector, particularly the government’s smart cities initiative.
