We faced challenges due to tough economic conditions. Overall, however, we performed well in FY 2016-2017.

How will InterraIT succeed in Idea Economy and what will be the role of InterraIT for its global success? 
We are living in the age of relentless disruption driven by technology, connectivity and new business models. The ability to turn an idea into a business through technology is more plausible today than it ever was. Organizations need to realize that each of them has to act like a technology company – they can no longer escape the evolving technology landscape and aggressive competition in the midst of the Idea Economy. InterraIT can help them beat their competition with advanced technology solutions.

InterraIT’s long and successful engagements with global customers & start-ups across North America have provided us with the requisite thought process and expertise to fully harness these disruptive technologies (Cloud, Automation & Social) and avoid the pitfalls while transforming our clients’ businesses.

Would you tell us about some interesting solutions from InterraIT which is of much needed in India? 
InterraIT has groomed technical personnel and developed practical solutions in the field of IoT, Cyber Security, Fintech, Big Data, Automation and Cloud. Our strong competencies in these emerging technologies have led us to solve problems in Digital inclusion, financial integration of Banks & SMEs and E-governance – the much needed solutions for “Developed India”.

How big is the datacenter, IoT, Intelligent edge and cloud opportunity in India? How is InterraIT positioned to leverage the Indian market?  
These are emerging technologies and are catching up fast in the Indian domestic market. The public cloud market is slated to touch USD 1.8 Billion in 2017, while the data center market is estimated to reach USD 4.5 Billion by 2018 and IoT should catch up to USD 9 Billion by 2020. These are rough estimates but looking at them, we can expect a sizeable business for InterraIT from emerging technologies in the domestic market. This is an exciting time for us since it provides us with the opportunity to leverage our global experience in these technologies with startups and technology vendors abroad.

We are building solutions on these technologies and have delivered business transformation projects solving the most intriguing business problems for clients in North America & Europe. Our strong competency and past experience provides us with a strong footing in the domestic markets and we look forward to tapping it.

According to Nasscom, India’s IT-BPM domestic market has reached US$ 38 Billion in FY 2017. This presents us with a huge opportunity in the Indian domestic market. 

We at InterraIT have always been at the forefront of Digital initiatives and have helped Organizations globally with Digital Transformation initiatives. With past record of having delivered path breaking technology solutions for global clients successfully across North America supported with our advanced CoE (Center of Excellence) for Digital Technologies at our Noida campus, we intend to develop and offer similar technology solutions for the domestic markets that make a difference to India.
