Panel Discussion 1 - Virtual Currency: A reality or a farfetched dream

The rapid development of business and personal technology has revolutionized our world within a short span of time. One of the greatest benefits of this revolution has been providing the customers with alternate ways to transact and pay. Digital money has been around for quite some time and its use has been rising at an exponential rate. The recent steps taken by corporate world in key sectors, including online retailing and food and beverage, demonstrate an appetite to continue expanding the use of digital currencies. With 6 million new mobile users being added every month, virtual money is eventually going to supersede the paper currency. The discussion will revolve around the various aspects and issues related to virtual currency like security risks, payment beneficiary identification, currency volatility and the challenges the payment bank providers will face in domains like infrastructure, management and finance.

Panel Discussion 2 - The 5G millennium: Honoring the Past, Treasuring the Present and shaping the Future

The introduction of 5G is as much the result of relentless and extensive improvements in LTE as it is a technology revolution. 5G for the consumer will mean ultra high data speeds (upwards of 10GBPs), ultra low latency, and new devices and form factors. While the prospect of a next generation network opens up possibilities for quite dramatic changes, such as an entirely new air interface but with India still putting its steps into 3G and 4G, the 5G world is at least a few years away for it. The panel will critically look into the opportunities and challenges related to technology, regulatory & other important issues.

Panel Discussion 3 - Revolutionizing Digital: Shifting the paradigm in the connected world.

The era of digital disruption has finally also hit HR, transforming the way HR work. Emerging digital economy as a result of rapidly changing technology is forcing to change business models. HR departments have to develop new ways of working with new skill sets and specialities. The pace at which organizations are encountering the change is quite fast and hence the panel discussion will involve the topics surrounding the digital forces challenging the Telco’s organisational structures and the shift on emphasis from being just technologically sound to having effective Talent Management in organisations.

Panel Discussion 4 - Big Data Management: Exploiting the Unexploited

Immense volume of data is generated as a result of our daily transactions on smart phones, credit cards, and computers. As smart city development gathers momentum more data will flow in from the infrastructure; from sensor-equipped buildings, trains, buses, planes, bridges, and factories. The data flows so fast that the total accumulation of the past two years—a zettabyte—dwarfs the prior record of human civilization. Big Data has a large potential in providing competitive edge to businesses of any size or type. Easy accessibility of data analytics tools on lighter platforms will have a considerable impact on every business in several important ways. Big Data can benefit organizations only if it is successfully managed. Data scientists and analysts can play a major role in monetizing big data. The discussion will focus on challenges the organizations are facing in utilizing the big data to the benefit of the business and emerging opportunities.
