Keynote: Leading IT mega trends of today and tomorrow—How to really differentiate and lead via smart planning, innovation and execution in India and beyond!

Our world is changing faster than ever before – politically, socially and economically – and IT is right in the core of this seismic paradigm shift!  New and ultra-fast innovation in cloud, big data, social media and consumerization of IT is creating tremendous opportunities and risks for businesses and governments – and most importantly for the citizens, globally.  It is the time for India to rise and lead – in a focused, planned, innovative, and pragmatic way – and in a global context.  Tarkan is the CEO at Wyse, the leading cloud computing vendor and the industry shaper according to World Economic Forum.  He will also give some real life examples about opportunities and risks in redefining, transforming and growing a company and the industry, while (re)defining, influencing and leading the largest IT projects both in private and public sectors globally during the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.
