Couple of Predictions…
8 of the top 10 Indian IT companies will
seize to exist in their current form in the
next 3 years
• We will see more of small, nimble, purpose-led
companies, than behemoths
The number of software developers in
India will start dwindling in the next 3
years

AI/ML/Automation is becoming mainstream…
This "new" Rembrandt portrait is actually a
creation from a statistical analysis of 346 paintings

The prediction heatmaps produced by Google’s AI algorithm
reached 89% accuracy, much higher than the 73% for a
pathologist with no time constraint

Should we focus on designing or developing the software?

How Rapid is the Change?
Around 50% of the current jobs will be
done by machines within the next 20 years

Can Agile save the Day?

Is Everything Lost?
The technological revolution… has been…
exponential, (but) there are more jobs,
better salaries. The best example is the
German region of Bavaria… with a higher
degree of technification and robotization…
2.6% unemployment - an all-time low.
(Daniel Lacalle, Economist)
Productivity Effect
In 1790, 90% of workforce in US
was engaged in agriculture while
in 1990, < 3%

Business Management needs through Agile methodologies?
