Disruptive Technology Surjith Karthikeyan

India is exploring the possibility of implementation of 5G, the fifth generation mobile technology, which ensures innovated end user experience, coupled with improved performance and reliability. The same has transformative potential to provide wide range of benefits to the economy. Enhancing the same with Artificial intelligence provides intelligence to connected and autonomous systems. In the present world, Cyber Security is one of the major areas needing immediate consideration. An ambitious cybersecurity method has plethora of layers of protection spread across the various aspects such as computer systems, varieties of networks, different programs, or data that one intends to keep safe. The necessity for minimizing harm from the disruptive technologies, with effective and world class cyber security best practices, is the need of the hour. The most remarkable aspect about India is that, in the last few years, India had remarkably improved its competitiveness in travel and tourism, improving from position of 65th in 2013 to 40th position in 2017 and then finally to 34th in 2019 in the "Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Report 2019. Here comes the challenge of maintaining that level in future. An environment need to be created for embracing the digital revolution coupled with disruptive technology in the Tourism sector. The transport policies in a developing Country like India emphasises on road infrastructure creation to satisfy the pressing traffic needs. Considering the pathetic condition of Indian cities, there is a need for policy which focus on seeking a shift away from car possession and to address aspects of stickiness and invasiveness that are an inherent consequence of private car possession. A new transit city which lays more emphasis on improving 'Mobility' and 'Accessibility' is the solution. The role of cloud computing in the further growth of services in general and Information Technology/Information Technology Enabled Services (ITES) in particular will be paramount. But at the same time we need to be aware of various risks & challenges to Cloud Computing. John P. Kotter's eight step transformation process, the widely accepted leadership theory, when perceived in a disruptive era, needs to have a clear execution method or detailed implementation protocols for fostering the change in the present globalized world characterized, by complex management process, dramatic innovations and its diffusion, disruptive technology etc. As far as India's legal sector is concerned, big data and machine learning can also transform how we handle dispute resolution. India need to focus on some best practices on technology applications in legal sector adopted across the World. The application of disruptive technology can also do a lot in improving health sector especially for preventing spread of communicable diseases in developing economies.
