It is the right blend of good information technology, management motives and process. Understanding the culture and transformation and creating a road map is very important in digital transformation. Every field requires a digital transformation in this era. Agriculture, tourism, healthcare and even education require it. Digital transformation cannot happen overnight, it has to happen gradually,” he said, adding that youth should accept this change and must support digital transformation for a better future.

Quoting examples of the banking industry, food apps and oil & gas industry, he said there will be pros and cons in every transformation. “Life has become very easy and convenient with the help of digital transformation. Today's business process is functioning smoothly because of this. Even rural areas must adopt this. Sufficient infrastructure is needed for reaching remote areas,” he said.
