The Internet of Things (IoT) connects various devices to exchange data without human intervention, impacting sectors like healthcare, agriculture, telecom, and retail. In India, IoT is poised for significant growth, with projections of 5 billion connected devices by 2022 and a market revenue of $1.6 trillion by 2025, driving economic development and job creation. The document highlights the transformative potential of IoT technologies in enhancing efficiency, health monitoring, smart farming, and modern retail experiences.

2. What is IoT?
The Internet of Things refers to a web of interconnected, interconnected objects where information can be exchanged, and
it is possible to collect and transfer data over a wireless network without human intervention. IoT can be classified as a path
of communication between the virtual and real world.

3. IoT Devices:
This includes wireless sensors, software, actuators, electronic gadgets, computers, cameras, all objects that operate via the
Internet that makes it possible to automatically receive and send data without human intervention.
The most common use of IoT in our day-to-day life is through the smartwatch, Fitbit.
Or wearable heart monitors that tell us about our heartbeat, blood pressure, and distance. Other examples might be phones
and laptops that have access to the Internet, with Amazon Alexa, Google Home and Apple Siri being considered a part of
IoT technology.

4. Significance of IoT in India:
"Digital India", "Make in India" and "Smart India-Smart Cities" are the main focus points of the country and IoT plays a notable role in it.
India is expected to have 5 billion connected devices by the year 2022.
According to a report by Zinnov by 2021, investment for technology products and service components could go up to USD 15 billion.
The future potential of IoT in the market is limitless. The increase in network agility will accelerate its growth worldwide in the shortest time as it is
said that the market revenue for IoT will reach 1.6 trillion by 2025. As a developing country, the IoT industry can be a way of boosting the economy of
the economy. Countries through various means,
Naukri
According to ./com the scope for growth in employment is as high as 117,114 job openings, and the average salary for a start can be 850k per year.

5. Fields in which there is growth for IoT in India:
● Healthcare
IoT makes it possible for people to access basic healthcare from anywhere through technology designed to monitor health-related
problems. Medical diagnostic takes a major portion of the hospital bill, while with real-
Time monitoring, through a wearable
Which is connected to a smartphone that sends a report of health data to a physician IoT collects, for example, blood pressure, oxygen
level, and blood sugar level, weight, and ECG.
Various benefits of IoT for healthcare:
● Alerting the patients and doctors for tracking the condition in case of emergency.
● Contacting doctors who are kilometers away through apps for medical assistance.
● Reduces the strain of manually collecting the status of patient’s which helps in the process of research and be used in
statistical studies.

6. ● Agriculture
● IoT-based smart farming is a system designed to monitor agricultural land through sensors that act as an
indicator for temperature, humidity, soil fertility, moisture, light, etc. Which accelerates and automates irrigation
practices. Drones, remote sensors,
● A computer helps with the planning and mapping of the entire agricultural process.
● Smart agriculture is a new concept for farmers, but with the growth of IoT in the agricultural sector, which is
going to be beneficial to agriculture soon, it is inevitable not to fully accept it.
● Farmers are adopting precision agriculture as it is one of the most notable applications of IoT in agriculture.
The farm is easily analyzed with inspection, livestock monitoring, water and nutrient levels, inventory
monitoring, and moisture levels that help farmers work accordingly.
● This also makes them aware of the right moment to work on the land which can give more productive results
as the soil conditions can be analyzed.

7. Telecom
The conversion from 2G to 4G has created a solid foundation for the development and adaptation of newly developed technologies such as IoT and Artificial Intelligence (AI), which provide customizable telecommunications services for the people. Smart home,
For further growth in creating smart retail,
Using IoT platforms to enable telecommunications infrastructure,
Smart Manufacturing, Smart City, and more.
5G and narrowband IoT (NB IoT) are the recent focus for high-tech modernization in the country for transportation, infrastructure, high-speed Internet and reliability.
Skylotech India has recently partnered with BSNL to launch satellite
-
The NB IoT network is located in India which will provide pan-India coverage including the Indian seas.

8. ● Retail and E-commerce
The reason for the transition from brick and mortar stores to digital platforms is the increase in demand for intelligent technologies and more convenient and faster
shopping.
In retail, IoT works as a means of reducing the burden of retailers and customers by digitizing through connected devices to make the store more efficient.
This gives retailers an advantage to track their inventory which is helpful in checking stock, transporting for GPS to transport goods from suppliers to warehouses
and then to consumers.
Logistics and supply chain management are easier compared to the part that controls efficiency.
The most accomplished example of an IoT retail shop is Amazon Go, customers can pick up their items in their basket and then walk out of the store without having
to check out by standing in long queues. The tags on the products are read automatically through peripheral technology, and are paid from the customer's Amazon
account.
Watasale is inspired by Amazon Go which is located in Kerala, India. Customers can move items as they wish and automatically deduct money from their e-wallet.
All they have to do is scan the QR code at the entrance of the shop and download the WhatsApp app on their phone.

9. Startup companies for the IoT industry in India
● The growth of IoT is one of the most awaited topics in the business world. India is likely to benefit greatly from
this as the use of internet and technological devices is increasing day by day. As it is a concrete way of
improving the economy, living and employment of the country, many startups are making their way, for
example,
IOTTIVE OPC PVT LTD
Iottive is the main focus for providing mobile application development services and embedded services. His core skills lie in
building iOS and Android applications, Bluetooth applications, IoT applications, hardware and firmware applications.

10. ● Numocity
Numocity Technology is a new-age digital company that provides a comprehensive end-to-end digital technology platform
for electric vehicle (EV) charging and battery swapping.
● Play Solar
It is a company based in Bangalore, the backbone of our country, agriculture, focusing on using solar energy for this
business. Jalasol is an example that can turn water pumps on / off via SMS or its app.

11. Conclusion
The Internet of Things (IoT) sends a vision in which the real and virtual worlds are well-connected and side by side with
work. The IoT market is demanding an upheaval in the current technology industry, which is why it is estimated that by the
year 2025 globally there will be 21.5 billion device units.
It focuses on providing a new dynamic to improve the quality of life.
