“As per an estimate, around 36,000+ competent workforce was required for 5G and allied technologies in India in FY2021–2022. Due to the increasing use of Internet services and apps, the demand for better telecommunication networks and the implementation of the present 5G network, this gap will only widen. To meet this demand, TSSC has already developed courses in 5G and related technologies and has created several Centers of Excellence and Training Centers across the country. To bridge this gap, we have worked closely with various government, academic and business stakeholders. India is home to a large talent pool, so it is important that the youth be skilled, skilled, or re-skilled for this new network technology. ,

“The rollout of 5G networks in India will be a key enabler for digital transformation. Apart from catering to the customers, 5G technology will also add an intrinsic value to the enterprise segment in the country. The global market for 5G-enabled business applications is expected to grow to $20 billion in five years and India will be a key contributor to this expansion. 5G will not only improve connectivity across the country but will also reshape the customer experience for telecom consumers in addition to traditional calling and internet services.

Ramesh Natarajan, CEO, Reddington Limited
“The launch of 5G services is a very turning point in the Digital India journey. 5G opens up possibilities to revolutionize not only world-class telecommunications infrastructure but many industries that can take advantage of low-latency, high-bandwidth and network slicing capabilities. These powerful 5G capabilities will help enable technology to render many use-cases “invisible” and address technology friction (the difference between the rate of technology innovation and the rate of technology adoption).
Kunal Nagarkatti, CEO, Clover Infotech
“The launch of 5G services in India is a great step by the government towards building a digital-native community. By equipping us with high speed internet, low latency and huge capacity, 5G will enable us to get the most out of today’s highly distributed world of cloud, edge devices and artificial intelligence. I think it will be interesting to see how 5G continues to disrupt our lives and lead to the creation of new industries, products and business models. While 4G unlocked the app economy, 5G is set to unleash the true potential of the digital and connected India we live in today.
