Digital Business is the new “buzzword” in the digital space. It is a strategic concept that uses both physical and digital resources to build competitive advantage for businesses. And today, Digital Business is the need of the hour for companies, both in India and abroad, to undergo digital transformation.
India is one of the fastest growing digital economies in the world. The latest IBEF report states that about 75% of the global digital talent is present in India alone.
Marketing is no longer the only technique companies prefer in order to achieve these results. They rely heavily on Artificial Intelligence, IoT, Big Data, Analytics, and much more to push the boundaries of technology and create a disruptive business model. In order to truly transform their businesses, companies need to think about integrating these technologies into their strategies.
According to Teamlease, by 2020, job creation in the Indian IT sector is expected to surge to about 2 million new additions worldwide, of which around 13% will be in India itself. There will be a 25% rise in roles related to big data, business intelligence, and analytics, while cloud computing opportunities will increase by 23%.
Having these skills will give you a competitive edge in the job market. The digital industry is actively pursuing professionals who are proficient in most of these technologies. Companies and start-ups that have adopted technologies such as AI, robotics, blockchain, and IoT are expected to see a huge surge in employment. It is, therefore, an advantage to have a degree in Digital Business that covers all these technologies in-depth.
According to Zion Market Research, the global digital business support system market will reach US$ 7,416 million by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 15%.
