• The next ten years will be the decade technology — or ‘techade’ — according to experts.
  
• NASSCOM president Debjani Ghosh said that it's imperative to ensure that it’s India’s decade.
  
• Infosys COO Pravin Rao feels the world is going to change drastically over the next ten years — from self-driving cars becoming the new normal to clothes connected to the internet.
  

Self driving cars on every road, clothes connected to the internet, medical chip implants and India at the center of the tech world — this how experts see the next decade playing out.

The next ten years — the “techade” — will define the role technology plays in India’s economy.

“We have to ensure that this is India's decade,” NASSCOM president Debjani Ghosh said at the event in Mumbai.

The power dynamic is already shifting towards Asia with countries like China and India taking the lead, according to her. And, India will finally have a chance to transform manufacturing with technology— the sector that was skipped over between the shift from agriculture to services.

“India has all the potential to become a software product nation. We have already laid down the policies for that,” said India’s IT Minister, Ravi Shankar Prasad at the India Digital Summit last week.
