InspireOne Technologies based in the northern Indian state of Haryana, and TEXTIENT a Chennai-based Software as a Service platform are the two initial India-based organizations to join IBM Corp’s Watson Ecosystem. They will start creating cognitive computing solutions in India, reports TechStartup.
India is poised to usher in this next wave of technology innovation. According to a Gartner announcement from November, India has the fastest growing IT market in the world — IT spending in India is forecast to reach $71 billion in 2016, and grow to $85.28 billion by the end of 2019.
“The creativity and passion of Indian businesses to introduce cognitive-infused apps to the market is overwhelming, and the region is poised for incredible growth,” said Stephen Gold, vice president for IBM Watson.
InspireOne Technologies is a professional development organization that has embedded Watson in its Supernova application to empower employees to develop their leadership capabilities.
TEXTIENT uses Watson’s Personality Insights API along with sentiment analysis, entity extraction, and concept extraction to automatically generate a comprehensive Brand-Essence Report in a matter of minutes.
IBM also expanded within the Indian health sector late last year by announcing Manipal Hospital in Bangalore as the first client in India to deploy Watson.
