IT industry bracing for three big disruptors: Mindtree's Ravanan

India's information technology sector is facing disruption from cloud, automation and artificial intelligence, as "self-healing" codes ride over hand-written ones, bots replace humans and software engineers compete with behavioural analysts for jobs, Rostow Ravanan, CEO and managing director of Mindtree said. "Today we are rolling out products to customers with self-healing code. Once you write the code and deliver it, you don't need to maintain it, test it, as the code takes care of itself," Mr. Ravanan said in an interview. When the company makes software "I don't need to provision a new environment. Software script itself has a code that spins up an environment, runs the programme, runs analytics and the moment it finishes, it shuts down the environment."
