siliconindia | | December 20188DIGITAL HOUSING ­ A GLIMPSE INTO FUTUREBy Ankush Tyagi, CEO, T&T GroupT&T Group, prominent realty players in NCR is coming up with its 1st digital housing project ­ T Homes, thus bringing in the digital housing concept in India. Built on values, T&T follows a strict work ethic by providing a transparent dealing environment for its customers and a trustworthy one for its employees.T hinking out the real estate sector to be human free may seem to be a far - fetched mission, but can be achieved by 2050. The real estate sector and infrastructure being at crossroads do face number of existing and emerging chal-lenges. As compared to other industries, real estate sector has not yet embraced the full potential of the latest tech-niques and tools. Where the other industries have success-fully harnessed technological advances to improve and reshape their products and services, the real estate seg-ment remains surprisingly low tech with relatively low levels of automation.Technological changes like those of automated tills in supermarkets, to autonomous vehicles on roads and voice-activated technologies in our homes, digital technologies are changing the way we work, shop, travel and relax, thus bringing in signifi cant opportunities for transformational change in the industry. Adopting and mainstreaming digital and other new technologies, such as advances in robotics and artifi cial in-telligence, will be a game-changer for the industry, speed-ing up the otherwise slow-and-steady modernisation of the sector, and providing answers to the challenges and oppor-tunities we face. Talking about the expansion of our horizon in terms of technology and expecting our lifestyle to be transformed completely by 2050, the upcoming digital revolution will help in redefi ning the sector. Business strategies would be reshaped, our offerings to the customers will be re ­ imag-ined, also there will be a shift in the kind of roles infrastruc-ture companies recruit for.
