Growth and Evolution of Aquafarming in the AI Era

#artificialintelligence

Significant to economic stability across the world, the current scenario in the aqua-farming industry is far from what it was a decade ago. With fewer changes in people and processes, the growth and evolution of the aqua-farming sector have been steady in the past decade. Although the technological advancements have been limited, yet the onset of IoT has triggered the introduction of AI-based process adoptions and automation. The sector is fairly large and deals with the production, and supply of aquatic animals. Fish, shrimp, oysters, and algae farming are closely associated with the global food industry.


The Growth and Evolution of India's Software Industry

Communications of the ACM

The development of the Indian software industry is an archetype of how economic liberalization combined with an entrepreneurial spirit can build an industry that today contributes as much as 8% to the GDP of a fast-growing country like India. On the back of thousands of IT services companies that were built over the last three decades, the industry has generated US$177 billion in revenue and more than US$135 billion in exports in FY 2018–2019 alone. The IT industry has also created over four million direct jobs and 12 million indirect jobs in India. A testament to this growth is the fact that the largest Indian IT services company is currently valued at over US$100 billion and generates over US$20 billion in revenue. Over the years, the Indian software industry has matured from providing cost-effective back office support to driving the digital transformation agenda ahead in global companies. Increasingly, leaders of more than a thousand global enterprises across the U.S., Europe, and other locations have realized India's potential and have set up their own IT or R&D centers to take advantage of the vibrant Indian software ecosystem. The current wave of Indian software entrepreneurs is focusing on building platforms and products for Indian and global markets. This has led to the creation of more than 7,000 tech startups in India.
