Growing tech certifications in India are offering opportunities for business: Dell

Dell Inc. is finding that new technology certifications and standards being developed in India are creating new business opportunities. At a media roundtable on technology trend projections for the upcoming year, John Roese, the company's global chief technology officer, and Peter Marrs, the president for Asia-Pacific and Japan of the American hardware and services company, shared their thoughts.
According to them, the global enterprise technology adoption in the upcoming year will be shaped by the growing acceptance of zero trust in cybersecurity, useful applications of generative artificial intelligence (AI), the rise of multi-cloud edge platforms, and the advancement of quantum computing in conjunction with generative AI.
"Countries such as Malaysia, Vietnam, Australia, New Zealand, and India are developing their cyber standards and certification programmes. We are thrilled about this chance, and we'll assist those clients with our technology," Marrs continued.
Aside from the Digital Personal Data Privacy Act, which was notified in August, and the social media intermediary guidelines that were announced last year, India is developing standards, certifications, and regulations related to technology, including cybersecurity laws.

Ashwini Vaishnaw, the union minister of information technology (IT), stated in November that new rules pertaining to AI deepfakes are also being drafted. The "next government," according to union minister of state for IT Rajeev Chandrasekhar, will pick up the task of drafting the Digital India Act, which is anticipated to add to the existing body of legislation pertaining to technology. This is because the law requires further consultations.
As more businesses look to technology service providers like Dell for compliance support, the wave of regulations could result in an increase in enterprise technology use cases. According to Roese, another important theme will apply to all applications of AI, not just those involving generative AI.
