India could be left behind in IoT deployment: Experts

Despite India emerging as one of the top developers of the Internet of Things (IoT) technology, few of the tools are deployed at home.

The IoT is regarded as a critical factor in addressing many of the country’s pressing problems, including pollution and accelerating industrial output.

But several experts, gathered here for a conclave on the future of the IoT innovation on Thursday, were concerned that India may be left behind as other nations progress.

The country’s current share of the global development market amounts to 21.25%, said Ajani Kumar, chief information officer of Stride Pharma Sciences, a city-based company that adopted IoT in March to improve productivity and reduce errors.
