India 2016: Internet of Things, big data analytics & machine learning to rule infotech theme

Digital is likely to emerge as the most prominent trend for 2016. Digital, which up until now has largely meant having a presence online, will redefine the way businesses are carried out. Enterprises are expected to change business models to make processes and transaction seamless and automated, minimizing the need for human interference.
IoT, which was the most hyped trend in 2015, will start to pick up this year. As companies continue to pour money into connected machines (an ecosystem where machines can exchange information over the Internet), new real-life use cases will start getting implemented including smart home solutions and wearable devices. IoT will also become mainstream in enterprises such as manufacturing facilities and research labs.
