                   i +  BLOCKCHAIN

                  Blockchain refers to the system of recording information which makes it difficult or impossible to change,
                  hack, or cheat the system. Every business runs on information and blockchain is a shared ledger on
                  which we record the transactions and track assets (tangible or intangible) in a business network. Tangible
                  assets include houses, cars, cash, lands, etc. and non-tangible assets include intellectual property, patents,
                  copyrights, branding, etc. It is a digital ledger of transactions that is duplicated and distributed across

                  the entire network of computers on the blockchain. Each block in a chain may contain the record of the
                  number of transactions made and the occurrence of new transactions. This record of every transaction is
                  updated and added to the participant’s ledger. Anything that carries value can be recorded and tracked
                  and can be traded on a blockchain network.


                   i +  RPA (ROBOTIC PROCESS AUTOMATION)

                  Most of the jobs in any industry consist of the tasks that are
                  repetitive in nature and can be automated. Robotic Process
                  Automation (RPA)  allows organisations  to automate  tasks
                  which human beings were doing across any applications and
                  systems. The purpose of RPA is to transfer the execution of
                  the process from humans to robots. Robotic automation uses
                  the existing IT structure without using any complex system

                  integrations. RPA can be used to automate anything. It can
                  be the workflow, infrastructure, and back office processes which are labour intensive.

                   i +  INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT)

                  IoT is basically a system of interrelated computing devices, people,
                  animals, objects, mechanical and digital machines, all of which
                  have a unique identifier and can transfer data over a network
                  without any human intervention. WAs Neil Gross famously said
                  in 1999 — “In the next century, planet earth will don an electronic
                  skin. It will use the Internet as a scaffold to support and transmit

                  its sensations”. This concept has unbelievable potential in many
                  businesses  and industries. To check on SIDS  (Sudden Infant
                  Death  Syndrome),  the  Mimo  monitor  is  a  new  kind  of  infant
                  monitor that provides parents with real-time information about their baby's breathing, skin temperature,
                  body position, and activity level on their smartphones.
