We have special focus on following

  • AgrItech since last 3 years and have a special interest group for this
  • Regulation IoT Regulation by DoT/ TRAI is seen thru the prism of Telecom and is not very conducive to innovation. We want to connect likeminded folks and present a well thought thru alternant narrative. We will partner with other organizations for this
  • Security We are leading bold new Standard for IoT Security under FreshThinking.
  • LPWAN as we consider usage of Sub giga hertz India appropriate and WiFi and cellular as inappropriate for India
  • IoTPlatform There are over 400 and this is a hot area. We encourage usage of IoT platform.
