Scope & Limitations

Total number of connected devices across the globe increasing: each device is generating huge amounts of data

IoT and Machine learning emerging as the next big frontier for businesses

Enterprises can leverage data generated to drive value for organizations to achieve efficiency, cost optimization and productivity through IoT

Connectivity Providers play a pivotal role in successful IoT deployment due to their network infrastructure’s capability to transmit data

IoT Value Chain Definition

Decision Maker’s Spotlight

Initiatives taken by the Central Government on Smart Cities and Make in India front would provide major impetus to IoT deployments

IoT Market in India is at a very nascent stage and market ecosystem is highly fragmented

The IoT Market could reach $16.8 Bn by 2021; depending on the speed of implementation of IIOT and government smart city projects

IoT spending on software and services is expected to see a CAGR of 52.68%, and 50.24%, respectively, indicating a shift from owned to Managed services

IoT in Automotive sector is picking up at a rapid pace; Car companies must become technology companies to succeed

Lowering operational cost, process optimization and enhancing customer service quality are main drivers for IoT in manufacturing

It is expected that 70% of the total retailers in India would adopt IoT; AI and automation to boost growth by 2021

IoT instrumental in smart city planning; not just for communication networks but also sanitation, transportation, healthcare, energy use and others.

IoT to have profound effect on healthcare: will primarily improve access to care, its quality and most importantly cut down its costs.

Asset, Fleet, Inventory, Facility and Energy Management emerging as the hottest application areas of IoT across different industry verticals

Telcos are relevant in the IoT work stream at almost every stage of solution deployment due to their advantages of network ownership

However, the Nascent IoT ecosystem in India challenges Telecom operators in terms of standardization, interoperability and data security

Providing M2M Sims for connectivity only leads to low revenue realization and low degree of differentiation

Partnering with an IoT solution provider plays a critical role; however, approach is heavily partner-reliant and difficult to develop and maintain

Operator to sell its own solution in selected vertical markets. In this model the operator wins higher revenues and hence is in a stronger position.

A value selling approach: operators focus on what common elements they can provide for multiple vertical markets.

Standardization, Interoperability concerns and Security are major barriers for Enterprises in adoption of IoT; Telcos must focus on developing solutions for them

Operators need to leverage core capabilities which scale across industries and geographies to establish themselves as IoT providers

Developing Network Capabilities and devising vertical specific solutions through innovation labs would provide operators an edge

Telcos will have to put more emphasis on developing critical data analytics capabilities
