Expanding opportuntities for Developers

Posted on by Juan

There seems to be inherently strong demand for developers, especially in India. The question is how is the demand fueled? Is it to keep up with the content that users need? Establish a trustworthy relationship with users or manifest new technological goals?

There are many integrated skills needed, or required to apply, to maintain relevancy in technology. Google invites a number leaders to discuss the market opportunities for developers. This is exciting news for newcomers and veterans in development.

These leaders discuss some of the main points for fulfilling the requirements for applications, and the needs they transcend from.

“India is a country that skips many things”, which is interesting because development often requires support for legacy software, somehow India is able to skip these technologies, and move to something such as voice recognition. Such as the scenario of an user attempting to purchase a plane ticket for another country where they are not experienced in the language, the keyboard all together is skipped as a solution, and voice recognition is used.

Use the link below to see Sudhir Sethi discuss this video at the Panel: India Developer Opportunities (Google for India Developer Track 2015) that directly speaks on this topic:

Skipping things and legacy

Commonly known, are the limitations of bandwidth, so naturally the things are slower in India, which is a reality. Though can this be met with developer creativity? Could their be a reformat in design? Despite these needs India has scaled their technology within short periods of time,

JASON TITUS: So do you all feel that some
22:14
of these solutions that might be really
22:18
evolved here, in India, as sort of unique experiences,
22:21
that you might actually be able to be successful in bringing
22:24
them outside of India and to other parts of the world?
22:26
And if so, what do you think those opportunities are?

 

22:34
SUDHIR SETHI: So absolutely.
22:35
I think, based on some of the companies which we have seen,
22:39
India has given tremendous scale in a very short period of time.
22:46
And I’ll give you maybe one or two examples.
22:49
We have communicologists in information security.
22:52
And within the first three or four years of their existence,
22:58
they enabled information security
22:52
And within the first three or four years of their existence,
22:58
they enabled information security
23:00
for the [INAUDIBLE] program.
23:01
So in the fourth year of their existence,
23:04
they had 350 million people in India where information
23:08
security was enabled.
23:11
Now for a company to achieve 350 million people
23:14
was unheard of anywhere in the world.
23:16
That enabled them to go into North America, the UK
23:21
and get large clients because the platform capability
23:25

on scale was not questioned.

Now this is impressive, why? Because managing security usually requires a lot configuration or requirements in design before being implemented. Again, scaling has triumph in fulfilling needs in such an amazing pace!

Now, what are some needs that really need to be filled? Education and Healthcare, which in being fair, could be very similar to what the United States needs for technologic growth in those sectors.

25:25
ANAND CHANDRASEKARAN: I think probably the two biggest
25:29
opportunities are education and health
25:32
care that could use the most disruption through technology.
25:39

And it’ll actually be in very unlikely ways.

Another point to note, is that large cash-flow transactions occurring in India, especially for railway, petrol, diesel and LPG are ripe for a opportunities to transfer to e-commerce (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-commerce_in_India) making it a suitable area for growth.
