This monumental transformation is rich with opportunity. But for businesses to play a part in this next industrial revolution, they must transform digitally. How are businesses reacting to this revolution and the great opportunity it represents? We think it’s a very interesting question – one which ought to be answered.

To understand the state of Digital Transformation in India, we recently commissioned a study. Following are the interesting highlights of the study –

·         78% of businesses consider digital start-ups a threat, either now or in the future

·         73% confess digital transformation could be more widespread

·         48% of global businesses don’t know what their industry will look like in 3 years
