Jai Prakash Sharma, Executive VP – Technology at Info Edge states that technology is a key business differentiator of digital-first businesses like online job portals, matrimony platforms, ed-tech solutions, and real estate marketplaces.
He says, “My role evolved beyond IT when leadership recognized that platform scalability, AI-driven matchmaking, personalized recommendations, and data-driven insights were crucial for business success. For example, in the online job market, optimizing search algorithms and AI-driven candidate-job matching directly impacts user engagement and revenue.”
For Shajy Thomas, Regional Head of Tech – APAC at Technicolor, technology actively contributes to shaping long-term business outcomes. “I am a key member of the council responsible for formulating the company’s business strategy and setting goals, followed by developing 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year plans. This ensures that our technology roadmap is fully aligned with our overarching business objectives and fosters a continuous cycle of innovation and efficiency.”
