| |December 20164CIOReviewEditorialEditorial2016 is when Digital truly became mainstream in the Indian market with many existing industries and niche markets increasingly investing in digitized solutions to fuel overall ROI and efficient methods of IT implementations. NASSCOMM suggests that digital growth in the year accounted for 12-14 percent of the industry revenues which on modest terms, is more than average for any growing market. The domestic IT-BPM market of India is inching closer towards the $ 50 billion mark which is promising. The growth of ecommerce has spurted these numbers and credit also has to be given to the government which has a strong agenda towards technology focused initiatives to pump in more modern technologies into the domestic market. Many new steps stemming from Make in India, Skilling in India and Digital India, amongst a host of others, are creating a renewed thrust onto the domestic markets. Our IT market is expected to touch 85.3 billion by the end of 2019 and the growth is expected to overtake Australia as the second largest IT market in APAC by the same year. On another side of the spectrum, there are a few minor frowns owing to Donald Trump's win in the US elections. The IT market was already on a small battle with slowing growth. The $ 150 billion Industry is arguably staring at its biggest uncertainty, but uncertainty does not necessarily mean negative growth. With the new Presidential elect's campaign for strong implementation of prioritizing jobs towards US workers, Indian Majors such as Infosys and IT US majors who outsource to India, such as IBM and cognizant, might bear the brunt . The regime is also expected to cap H1B visas which are the topmost route for many Indian IT giants to export workers to the US. However these are of little concern for India owing to the growth that metals, engineering and industrial segments brings to the table. Along with the growth of these industries, we can also expect to see widespread IT applications into these Technology shy markets which makes 2017 a very interesting value proposition as India truly embraces IT in all aspects. In our company of the year special Issue, we pay tribute to the organizations that stand out in their Niche domains and are prepared to take innovations and efficiencies to the next level.
