Part 4/12:
India as a Custodian of Domain Knowledge
Sriram added depth to the narrative by emphasizing India's evolution into a “knowledge powerhouse.” Historically labeled as "code coolies," Indian tech teams have transitioned into masters of domain expertise across diverse sectors such as retail, healthcare, semiconductor, and high-tech.
He stressed that innovation today is driven by deep domain knowledge—understanding the nuances within specific verticals rather than merely "thinking outside the box." In sectors like retail, this has translated into cutting-edge applications such as computer vision-enabled shelves and real-time inventory management, heralding a new era of data-driven decision-making.
