Local Products, Emerging Opportunities
India's 250+ Million strong consumer market is rapidly growing, where growth is
propelled by young, dynamic and lifestyle savvy consumer base.
Locally developed technologies have to penetrate deeper into new areas like
Entertainment technology, Telemedicine and Medical tourism, which open up a wide
variety of opportunities.
Communication infrastructure developments over the decade have thrown up these
opportunities for the local talent pool as well. Government incentives, availability of
large talent pool, transparent market coupled with resilient and growing economy
form a perfect eco-system for any new product development.
"Time is rife" for products focused on Wireless, Healthcare & Life style segments,
especially for products with a local touch.

Indian Design Influence, Ideas to Volume
India today is the largest talent pool bank in engineering
Research & Design space and has good experience in designing futuristic solutions.
Products designed in India, sold under numerous brand names globally have
tremendous success stories.
Indian companies can develop suites of Intellectual Property IP and product
reference designs. A developer can choose and plug various Imps into a given
reference design and produce multiple product variants in short time frames.
Engineering service providers support all global semi companies in designing new
ASIC solutions. This expertise can be effectively utilized for developing custom
solutions for Indian market.
Does India have the strengths required for taking on global market? Where India
currently and what is is the way forward?

Session 3
Embedded software: Its growing influence on the hardware world
As end-consumers yearn for more applications on their devices, embedded software
has taken a pivotal role.The explosion of embedded devices is made possible mainly
due to the rapid growth of semiconductor chips -- each year, semiconductor devices
become faster, cheaper and less power hungry. The good news about the cutting
edge technology from Indian design services perspective is its ascendance in the
value chain.
ISA and IDC have projected that the Indian semiconductor and embedded design
industry will grow from $6.08 billion in 2007 to $10.96 billion in 2010. As India
moves up the embedded value chain, there will be need to "collaborate and
innovate."
The Indian design organizations are moving beyond the simple labor cost arbitrage
to becoming true contributors to product innovation. Many multinationals have
already invested in new design operations in India or expanded their existing
facilities.
Embedded systems are customized computing systems in electronic devices such as
mobile phones and digital cameras. Designing embedded systems is challenging as
the borderline between hardware and software is blurred within the domain.

Session 4
VC Panel: Pains & Gains of getting funded in tough times
Competition, scalability and stability are some reasons for a start-up to go in for
help from venture capitalists. Investors look at the team, valuations, scale,
sustainability and a great exit. The entire process takes time, energy and much
focus from both sides. Entrepreneurs have to be involved in areas beyond their core
competence and need to understand the world of finance and valuations.
Accountability is needed in multiple areas.
Today Private Equity PE firms also have a strong market presence. What is the need
for Private Equity vis-à-vis other funding options for mature firms? Are venture
capitalists the only option for young organizations? And is funding the panacea for
all woes?

The Race for Solar Energy: Global Market Dynamic and Opportunities in India
Rising energy demand from China and India have unleashed a worldwide race to
access to scarce fossil fuel resources while western companies continue to feel the
pain of increased energy costs. Renewable energy presents huge opportunities for
investors and entrepreneurs, underscored by concern over a global stalemate
surrounding curbs on carbon-dioxide emission The International Energy Agency IEA
expects an investment need of about USD 22 trillion in energy-supply
infrastructure. India’s need alone would be around USD 1.25 trillion changing global
balance points in resources.

Session 6
Managing in Challenging Times: Strategies for the Indian knowledge sector
The technology sector is a knowledge-based one. The industry has to routinely deliver
higher levels of integration in ever-shorter product cycles. Through decades of
constant improvement, the industry has learnt to survive and even thrive under the
harshest conditions. It has managed to maintain a long-term growth trajectory and
relatively consistent profitability among its leading companies. It is a shining example
of what ingenuity and perseverance can accomplish.
In the current scenario, existing enterprises will be challenged by the business climate
and the evolving market environment as much as by emerging companies. The
competition will extend itself to customers, talent, and more. What should companies
in this dynamic world do, how do they face up to the challenges, retain their people,
position and still grow?
