AI-ready infrastructure, hybrid cloud adoption, cybersecurity-first architectures, and edge computing are the trends that are shaping India’s digital ecosystem, says Amardeep Sharma, CTO & Director, Praruh Technologies Ltd, who in an interaction with Enterprise Times, discusses how technology partners come to the rescue of businesses faced with the challenges in infrastructure modernization.
Enterprise Times: How are enterprise ICT infrastructure requirements evolving in India?
Amardeep: India’s enterprise ICT infrastructure is moving away from traditional on-premise systems and toward hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Companies today need infrastructure that can handle AI workloads, advanced analytics, and digital services that happen in real time. Customers’ expectations have also changed a lot. Companies don’t just want hardware or help with deployment anymore. They want digital platforms that can grow with them, are secure, and work with other systems to help their business grow. In fields like BFSI, government, and manufacturing, the focus is now on technology solutions that are resilient, secure, and focused on results.
Enterprise Times: How is Praruh Technologies adapting to AI, cloud, and cybersecurity-driven transformation?
Amardeep: Praruh Technologies is changing from a regular system integrator to a partner in digital transformation. We focus on building infrastructure that is ready for AI, hybrid cloud environments, and architectures that put security first. We combine networking, cloud platforms, and cybersecurity frameworks to make digital ecosystems for businesses that can grow and stay strong. We make sure that businesses can innovate faster while still having strong governance and operational reliability by using a cloud-first and security-by-design approach.
Enterprise Times: What are the biggest challenges enterprises face when modernizing infrastructure?
Amardeep: Integrating old systems with new cloud and digital platforms is one of the hardest things businesses have to do. As businesses grow their digital presence, the risks to their cybersecurity also grow. Many businesses also have trouble finding people with the right skills in cloud computing, AI, and cybersecurity, which slows down their efforts to change. Technology partners can help by offering migration expertise, managed services, and secure infrastructure frameworks. This makes sure that modernization goes smoothly and doesn’t get in the way of business operations.
Enterprise Times: What strategies are critical for scaling a project-driven ICT business?
Amardeep: To grow an ICT business, you need standardized delivery models, strong technology partnerships, and automated operations. Creating deployment frameworks that can be used over and over again lowers project risk and makes things run more smoothly. Another important strategy is to offer managed services and long-term support contracts. These bring in regular income and help build stronger relationships with clients. At the same time, it is important to keep financial discipline, manage projects well, and keep costs down in order to provide high-quality infrastructure solutions while also ensuring long-term growth.
Enterprise Times: How do organizations measure ROI from digital transformation or infrastructure deployments?
Amardeep: Businesses today look at ROI not only in terms of cost savings but also in terms of how it affects the business and how flexible it is. Some important signs are less downtime, faster service deployment, better customer experience, and more efficient operations. Modern infrastructure also makes it easier to analyze data, automate tasks, and make decisions. The success of digital transformation is ultimately determined by how well technology helps businesses become more flexible, competitive, and strong.
Enterprise Times: Which enterprise technology trends will shape India’s digital ecosystem?
Amardeep: AI-ready infrastructure, hybrid cloud adoption, cybersecurity-first architectures, and edge computing will all have an impact on the future of India’s digital ecosystem. As businesses create huge amounts of data, their infrastructure needs to be able to handle high-performance computing and real-time analytics. Zero Trust models will also make cybersecurity a big part of digital platforms. At Praruh Technologies, we’re making sure that our strategy is in line with these trends by providing businesses with infrastructure solutions that are safe, scalable, and ready for the future.
