- Live Event
The industry’s flagship event NASSCOM India Leadership Forum (NILF) 2015 will kick start on 11th February, 2015.
The Forum will be the 22nd edition of the NASSCOM India Leadership Forum (NILF). The Forum typically brings together over 1,000 companies and attracts over 1,500 delegates from over 25 countries.
We live in an exciting time for digital and technological advancements. In many ways, we are already light years ahead of anything anyone could imagine. It’s that fact that makes looking to the future even more exciting to figure out what might be ahead. New digital technologies and services are increasingly pervasive as mobile devices and internet are adopted at a staggering pace around the world; and everything – from our cars and thermostats to our medical records and kitchen appliances are already connected to the Internet.
It is with this seeding thought that we have chosen ‘The World in 2020: Building the Digital Future’ as the overall theme for this year’s forum. The NASSCOM India Leadership Forum 2015 will examine tomorrow’s digital technologies and assess their global impact on both business and society.
The future has many a surprise in store, from the ‘Internet of Things’ – the hyper connected network that’s being built everyday by the increasing number of objects and tools that are connected to the Internet – to disappearing interfaces where device related innovations ensure that the way we think about computing will never be the same. It also has a promise of a ‘Digital’ India and we NILF 2015 will take a ‘Selfie’ of India in 2020 today.
Last year, we had 25 delegations from different countries. We feel that NASSCOM India Leadership Forum 2015 will provide an excellent platform for WITSA members and their companies to explore the tremendous potential available for joint ventures and strategic alliances in the ICT space. Join us at the NASSCOM India Leadership Forum 2015 between February 11-13 at the Grand Hyatt, Mumbai, to dig deep into areas of domain and technology interest and emerge with new idea for building a digital future.
A special rate has been worked out for WITSA members. Please email Ms. Akansha Tete ([email protected]) for the special code or for any other information that you might want with regards to the Forum.

Disrupting Digital Business
We’re standing at the dawn of a digital business revolution. In fact, we barely realize it. As with the beginning of every revolution, those in the midst of it can feel it, sense it, and realize that something big is happening. Yet it’s hard to quantify the shift. The data isn’t clear. It’s hard to measure. Pace of change is accelerating. Old rules seem not to apply. You and I can’t seem to put structure around this.
Many of us have been here. But we can qualify the shift. We are articulating how these businesses are about to change. We’re doing it piecemeal, but a story is emerging. We have one-off stories about massive business model disruption. In fact, the impact of digital on our personal lives is an early indication. From how we interact with each other to how we engage with organizations, the shift is right in front of us. Our personal experiences foreshadow how businesses will be disrupted by this digital revolution.
In fact, 52% of the Fortune 500 have been merged, acquired, gone bankrupt, or fallen off the list since 2000. The impact of digital disruption is real. However, it’s not the technologies that drive this change. It’s a shift in how new business models are created. We’re moving at a massive scale from systems of transaction (record) to achieving mass personalization at scale (digital).
The secret to success in disrupting digital business will require organizations and individuals to know who they want to be, and live and breath it. Disrupting digital business requires leaders to be:
- Transformation focused: Incremental innovation is not enough. Organizations have to design for transformational innovation.
- Relevant: Context drives the ability to deliver mass personalization at scale.
- Authentic: Digital provides trust and radical transparency through massive data backbones and open access and support the brand promise.
- Intention driven: Best practices rules and processes aren’t enough, we have to predict what’s expected next.
- Networked: New P2P networked economies are guided by ephemeral self interest
Are you prepared to get ahead of the train and disrupt digital business?
