Recently, the topic of big data has gained significant popularity globally because of its capability to revolutionize businesses and services. Big data has an impact on every aspect of our daily life. The emerging technology areas like the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial intelligence, and machine learning are fuelled by Big data and analytics only.

In India, big data has become the primary focus of scientists and technologists because of our government’s new initiatives like ‘Digital India’.

Standardization in Big data will play a significant role in facilitating the exchange and sharing of a vast volume of data across multiple platforms, applications, and sectors. With proper standardization, a massive volume of data generated within a system can be effectively utilized by other systems/services and applications. The summit was successfully concluded, providing insights into various applications of the Big data ecosystem in emerging technology areas like Artificial intelligence, Machine learning, IoT, and Smart cities.
