Be it web sites, web portals, mobile web sites, social networking sites, SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, web services, cloud computing, mobile computing. All global brands are rushing to associate with the web right from Microsoft, to Google, Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, Apple, Oracle etc.

Necessity is the mother of innovation! So world over we now see people thinking about new technology, new software, new products!! Mobile Computing & Gaming are 2 new upcoming sectors!
- 4. Upcoming opportunities Anything & everything around the web can be looked at, Many interesting technologies & apps being developed. Areas like Cloud Computing, Web 2.5 & business applications around the cloud are the flavour of the day! SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, Web Services is gaining big momentum. Social networking, collaboration tools which ‘actually bring value to the table’ can be of immense value! Mobile computing is another giant industry which is still in its nascent stage, Android is now inching towards market leadership & hence this will bring about a lot of change in the mobile application landscape.
- 5. Future potential of the IT sector Totally Unpredictable! Unpredictable like Facebook, Twitter!! As Peter Drucker famously said once ‘The best way to predict the future is to create it!’ Imagination Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere. – Albert Einstein
- 6. Future potential of the IT sector As far as entrepreneurship goes, please select anything where YOU feel it will work & there is demand. History proves that successful entrepreneurs were those who either became entrepreneurs by chance or by circumstances!! So just relax and do what you are passionate about, burn the midnight oil and stick around (like am doing currently) and am sure today or tomorrow both you & I will succeed
- 7. Perception of customers about the sector You can’t ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them. By the time you get it built, they’ll want something new – Steve Jobs That’s how customers are, so would like to highlight the below to all current & upcoming entrepreneurs – i.e. before launching a new product or service please wear the customers’ shoes and if you are really excited about the offering & you will pay for it too, then just start shop! Dump the analysis & market research, go on your gut feel, your market understanding & research & just do it!
- 8. Message to students Its well said by Mary Ash that an entrepreneur tends to bite off a little more than he can chew hoping he’ll quickly learn how to chew it. This is the tendency of all entrepreneurs including me so my sincere request here is kindly Go Slow but be firm & clear, take Baby Steps, Work Focused & just hit it!!! Trust me, no book, no formula or no certification / degree will ensure that you will be a successful entrepreneur. Its just the 3 Ps that matter – Persistence, Perseverance & the most important being Passion !!!
- 9. Suggested Readings… Outliers – The Story of Success by Malcom Gladwell for his unique but very correct 10,000 hours success logic! Stay Hungry Stay Foolish & Connect the Dots both by Rashmi Bansal where you will learn everything required to become a smart, passionate, yet an Indian Jugaadi Entrepreneur! The Pursuit of WOW by Tom Peters – Your true guide on delighting all in this topsyturvy world!
- 10. Suggested Readings… For already existing entrepreneurs like me & basically who want to go to the next level I will recommend reading ‘What got you here won’t get you there by Marshall Goldsmith which will guide you on how to go to the next level, I found this really helpful and am sure it will help all of you too!
