The enterprise arm of Tata Teleservices, which is claiming to have been gaining a significant market share every year, is hugely cashing in on digital disruption, driven by its M2M, IoT and location-based services this year. The company believes that moving forward, going virtual, going mobile and going social are the three mega trends that will create a world of opportunities for the organisation.
Presently, the IT and ITES segment form the major chunk of its customers at about 30-35% followed by retail, among others. It said that with a plethora of devices there is a convergence of IT and mobile applications across India and businesses across India have also begun to see the value of social media to not only engage with customers and employees but also as a platform to collaborate for developing new ideas and services.
