Virtualisation – challenges to Indian Business Professionals
February 02, 2011
by Paresh Pikale,

For India, the implications of the new world are significant. I have tried to list a few challenges I feel will be posed to the business community sooner than later.

What are the challenges?

1 With fewer legacy processes & systems, we can develop and adopt faster new business models that seem more natural to the millenials and virtualisation than the earlier ones
2 Business men are more comfortable creating physical assets. If businesses are forced to adopt virtualisation – who will fill these concrete jungles?
3 Will the new age entrepreneur be comfortable with lesser concrete jungle & the cushion it provided in terms of assets on balance sheet?
4 What will a TechM or an Infy or a TCS showcase as ‘infrastructure’ to potential & existing clients?
5 What collaterals will be demanded by lending institutions in absence of physical assets?
6 Is the political & bureaucratic establishment ready for this paradigm change?
7 The laws of this land are archaic & need to be rebooted ASAP!
8 Can virtualisation ease urban migration as traditional office is no longer required?
9 As less arable land will be diverted to business needs, will it lead to higher agricultural output & growth of rural economy?
10 As less people will commute to work, will it lead to lesser pollution?
11 As more demand will be placed on communication, broad band rollout will need to be fastened. Are we prepared to move to 4G or better faster than anticipated? Similarly, is Superfast Broadband ready to be rolled out in India?
12 What about society – will virtualisation lead to a more balanced work life? The societal implications are food for fodder for my next article.
