Web3 & metaverse — The rise of the new Internet & the India opportunity
Web3 & Metaverse — The rise of the new Internet & the India opportunity
Metaverse and Web3 are often used as umbrella terms for the next generation of the Internet, and the transformation they signify presents both a challenge and an opportunity for India. While some remain skeptical, we believe Metaverse and Web3 will lead the frontiers of the next wave of digital adoption for Indian industries. This Viewpoint explores the market potential of this next version of the Internet across different industries in India and gives an overview of the early use cases tested by industries in India and across the globe.

Toward a sustainable value chain for electric vehicles in India
Dr. Andreas Schlosser, Fabian Sempf
India’s e-mobility space has seen rapid growth driven by the demand for cleaner transportation and is estimated to have 10 million electric vehicles (EVs) on the road by 2030. As the country aims to establish an EV value chain in India, environmental and social risks plaguing the value chain worldwide pose a significant challenge to India’s sustainability goals in the Indian government’s vision for 2030. This Viewpoint analyzes these risks and recommends an integrated approach by stakeholders to proactively tackle the challenges to sustainability in the EV value chain.

Lost in translation
Michael Majster, Abhishek Srivastava, Fabian Sempf
Despite two decades of accumulated experience, the majority of digital transformations still fail to meet expectations. The root causes typically relate to the often-difficult relationship between business and IT functions, resulting in the original strategic aims getting “lost in translation” during execution. In this Viewpoint, we explore how setting up a value office can help overcome common problems by tracking defined value and ensuring realization — leading to successful execution of the strategy.

E-mobility: Cell manufacturing in India
Fabian Sempf
India is one of the largest automotive markets in the world, with demand only expected to rise in the coming years. With government’s push and increasing customer acceptance, electric vehicles (EVs) are gaining significant traction. However, for EV batteries, India remains largely dependent on imported lithium-ion (Li-ion) cells owing to limited local manufacturing capacity and a scarcity of raw materials.

Unleashing innovation in IT
Michael Majster, Frédéric Rosès, Volker Pfirsching, Fabian Sempf, Rick Eagar
IT is still often seen as inflexible and costly Digitalization has been at the top of the strategic agenda for over a decade (see Figure 1). IT assets, and the function that manages them, are usually seen as the backbone of the digitalization effort.
