These technologies require powerful computing resources, reliable networks like 5G and secure data centers. We at InfoVision are developing ground-breaking solutions while also creating a strong technology partner ecosystem to fully support this increase in demand.
Jahnavi– How do you think that one can manage to balance the need for innovation with practical considerations such as cost and scalability?
Girish– At InfoVision, we believe in innovating with a purpose and evolving for a digitally advanced future. We carefully identify the areas where innovation is needed, balancing the need for innovation with practical considerations such as cost, and scalability is at the core of our approach. To achieve this balance, we follow a strategic and purpose-driven approach to innovation. Firstly, we assess the current processes and systems in place. Look for any inefficiencies or areas that could be improved upon. For example, if there are manual tasks that consume a lot of time and resources, there might be an opportunity to introduce automation or new technologies to streamline the process
By partnering with our clients and deeply understanding their unique business objectives, we identify areas where our innovative solutions can create maximum impact. InfoVision’s team of experts then leverages their extensive industry and technical expertise to recommend these solutions that not only drive innovation but also align with practical business needs.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is connecting objects to the Internet, enabling smart homes, cities, and industrial automation. 5G coming in IoT is very dominant in the market. Edge computing brings computing power closer to data sources, enabling real-time processing for IoT devices and autonomous systems.
Blockchain is gained attention, its decentralized and transparent nature offers potential applications
in supply chain management, finance, voting systems Sustainability and green tech, including renewable energy and circular economy practices, are gaining traction. These key tech trends are interconnected and hold immense potential for driving innovation, transforming industries, and shaping the future globally.
Jahnavi– What is your take on ChatGPT?
Girish– While ChatGPT has shown remarkable advancements in natural language processing, it is important to remember that it operates based on patterns and information from its training data. It is not sentient and should not be mistaken for human expertise or decision-making.
The evolution of generative AI necessitates the development of a comprehensive regulatory and ethical framework. A collaborative effort involving policymakers, technologists, and society is required to ensure responsible technology use and equitable benefit distribution. Equally important is the cultivation of education and training programs to equip the workforce for the AI-dominated future. Although some jobs might be rendered obsolete, new opportunities demanding unique skills are likely to emerge. A proactive step towards enhancing public awareness and understanding of AI, and particularly generative AI, is also paramount. This will not only empower people to make the most out of AI tools but also enable them to make informed decisions about AI-related issues.
InfoVision’s consulting team stands ready to help you navigate the exciting landscape of Generative AI, pinpointing valuable use cases and swiftly executing them to align with your unique organizational needs and capabilities. InfoVision is working on multiple capability building using ChatGPT in humanoid robotics, determining the choice of LLM providers by striking a balance between various use case requirements, such as accuracy, data security, and cost.
Jahnavi– What according to you are the best tech practices that all enterprises should follow to keep their tech up and right?
Girish– In my opinion, there are several best tech practices that enterprises should follow to ensure their technology remains up-to-date and effective. Continuous learning and professional development for IT teams should be embraced, as staying updated with the latest advancements and best practices is vital in the ever-evolving tech landscape. Proactively addressing cybersecurity is crucial to protect sensitive data and maintaining customer trust. Enterprises should invest in robust security measures and stay informed about emerging threats. Cloud computing offers scalability, flexibility, and cost savings, making it essential for businesses to adopt and leverage its benefits. Encouraging a culture of innovation and experimentation empowers employees to think creatively, explore new technologies, and drive growth. Collaborating with technology vendors, startups, and industry experts provides valuable insights and access to cutting-edge solutions. Develop comprehensive disaster recovery and business continuity plans to minimize downtime in the event of system failures, natural disasters, and cyber attacks.
Another important and critical point that I would like to make is the often ‘underestimated’ but strategically important component of Quality Engineering. This is the foundation on which great products and solutions are built. We believe that testing is a catalyst for digital transformation.
By following these practices, enterprises can position themselves for success, foster innovation, and remain competitive in the rapidly changing tech industry.
