Avneesh Prakash, Vice President of Mobility & MOVE at Tata Communications discusses managing partner ecosystems and an ingenious IoT security solution.

Accelerators

For Avneesh Prakash, Vice President of Mobility and MOVE at Tata Communications, there are plenty of reasons to be excited. Over 600 to be precise.

Avneesh is managing one of the world’s largest ecosystems of network partners – over 600 in total. Second, is that this may have just helped him solve one of the most pressing security issues facing IoT.

In our latest episode of Accelerators, we dive deep with Avneesh exploring opportunities, challenges, trends and tech within IoT,. We discuss Tata’s approach towards managing such an extensive partner network, and how they’re using it to encourage co-creation, innovation and ubiquitous connectivity among their clients.

We also hear how this experience of extensive collaborations and ecosystems has lead Avneesh to address IoT security, by embedding security at all layers, starting with the microchip. It’s a compelling proposal, potentially scalable to any level, and suitable for any vertical, any use case.

Avneesh explains more in episode two of Accelerators. He also talks to us about his vision for an ‘anticipatory IoT’ and how this can benefit Industry 4.0. Listen now – and go further, faster and beyond.

“Our customers want security by design, not as an afterthought. They're looking at zero trust, zero touch security deployments, increasingly software driven so that they become flexible, and scalable.”
