IBM Watson gets Indian partners to help employees develop leadership qualities

InspireOne Technologies and TEXTIENT have partnered with IBM Watson Ecosystem to help the company develop cognitive computing solutions.

While InspireOne Technologies will use IBM Watson cognitive APIs to empower employees to develop their leadership skills, TEXTIENT, which is a marketing insights platform, will tap Watson to develop real-time brand perception reports.

The IBM Watson India Summit, which was held in Bengaluru, focused on how cognitive systems were transforming businesses and customer outcomes.

The summit also discussed how India was well poised to usher in this next wave of technology innovation.

According to a Gartner announcement, India has the fastest growing IT market in the world and IT spending in India is forecast to reach $71 billion in 2016 and grow to $85.28 billion by the end of 2019.

“The creativity and passion of Indian businesses to introduce cognitive-infused apps to the market is overwhelming, and the region is poised for incredible growth,” said Stephen Gold, vice president for IBM Watson.
