 With increasing emphasis on robotics, Artificial Intelligence offers immense growth potential

Nishit Sood

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a branch of Computer Science that enables machines and robots to perform tasks such as speech and visual recognition, translation of languages and virtual decision making on behalf of human beings. Today, the use of artificial intelligence is not restricted to gaming and data management, its ambit has encompassed a variety of applications in almost every industry, be it automobile, health, education or hospitality. People are desperately awaiting the driverless cars of Google and Apple based on autonomous vehicle technology whereas robots had already made their entry into the health and medicine sector. 

 

Scope of Artificial Intelligence in the businesses of tomorrow

US, Japan, UK and France are the countries which are spending billions of dollars on the research and development of AI goods and services. Though it is a relatively new concept in India, both the government and research institutes are working aggressively to adopt this revolutionary technology in the defence, investigation, banking and education sectors. Innefu Labs, a Delhi based IT and Information Security firm, has developed a multi-factor authentication device for the security of government agencies and corporate. The face and speech recognition system developed by Innefu is shielding the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and the Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO) from various security threats. 

Sparkling career prospects for AI Professionals

Various studies have confirmed that between 2015 and 2017, the global estimated growth of robot installations is expected to increase by 12% annually on a CAGR basis. The artificial intelligence industry is growing rapidly and the demand for AI engineers, architects, developers and data scientists is soaring high day after day. In fact, these are the AI engineers who are the architects of the future and the pilots of tomorrow's energy, space, defense, pharmaceuticals, automotive, textile, health and medicine, hospitality, entertainment and other prominent industries. 

Where to study Artificial Intelligence in India

In India, there are many reputed institutions which provide courses in Artificial Intelligence. Some of the prominent engineering colleges are listed below.

• IITs in Delhi, Mumbai, Kanpur, Chennai and Kharagpur
• Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore
• National Institute of Technology, New Delhi
• University of Technology & Management, Kolkata
• University of Hyderabad, Hyderabad
• Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Hyderabad

The road ahead

Alike Google, there are dozens of firms in the mobility and IT sector, which are keen to enter into the AI/robotics engineering sector and are ready to unleash a plethora of business and employment opportunities across the globe because AI is the next big change after Internet and mobile technology. Therefore, engineers with specialisation in AI have ample job opportunities across the world. In India too, the future of AI professionals is rather bright and nimble because the government, policy makers and business leaders are keen to promote indigenous brands and technology under the 'Make In India' and 'Digital India' campaign initiated by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The Evergreen World of Permanent Staffing Services

It goes without saying that employees are the most treasured assets of any organisations. They form the backbone that holds an organisation together. They say that a string foundation is necessary to sustain a building and therefore, employing good people in the organisation is an absolute must. This is a significant commitment and is a long process. Identifying the right people, meeting their expectations while at the same time subsuming them in the organisation’s culture demand time and an eye for perfection. It could be draining as there is little scope to go wrong. Going through a number of resumes becomes challenging. It is therefore a good idea to invest in a good service that specialises in permanent staffing solutions.

 YOMA Multinational would help you choose the right individuals for the positions in your organisation from among the best industry talent. We have a strong and dedicated team that has expertise and experience in finding the right people. Our objective is to help you reach the right talent in the least time without shilling out a fortune for the same. We help you achieve your company’s aim in the best possible manner.

Why should you ascribe the task of finding permanent staffing solutions to professionals?

•    Time Saving: You save yourself the burden of going through thousands of misleading and pretentious (at times) resumes. It saves instrumental time that could actually be focused on the core business rather than dealing with human resources issues. Moreover, professionals are better connected to networks of other budding professionals. Professional recruiters can help you find the right people for new projects or in replenishing the work force at large.

•    You get what you want: Professionals at YOMA Multinational would get in touch with you and make a note of your requirements, what you would offer and what the new would recruit get. After getting a hang of all the specific details, we try to find the suitable candidate that fills all the requirements. The aim is to make sure the ends are met at both the ends. We have a rather organised and streamlined sourcing and delivering process. This is the reason we are among the best in the arena of permanent staffing solutions.

•    Methodological Short listing Process: While all the efforts are taken to find the right fit in terms of educational qualification and work experience criteria, we ensure that the employee is up for a longer commitment which is a much needed thing when looking for permanent staffing solutions. We do a background check; take into consideration the soft skills and the commitment level. We are there at every level from searching the right employee to finalizing the right offer.

•    Follow-up: This is perhaps the most important thing. We do not believe that merely finalising the job offer completes our commitment towards you. We make sure to take feedback from you in terms of the employer satisfaction. This is crucial to us and helps us grow too.

As they say, you’re only as strong as your weakest link. Hence, while running a business or an organization, one can’t let their guard down while selecting or choosing potential employees. There is absolutely no margin for error. Right from the top ranked officials and managers to the low lying employees at the bottom most pecking order, there needs to be a consistent reflection of quality and performance. And this is where a credible permanent staffing services firm enters the fray!
