siliconindia | | January 20199down a business in no time. Being cautious without being fearful is the need of the hour, perhaps we should call it `Positive Paranoia'.Let me put forth a scenario of mobility in future:· Li-on Battery costs are dropping exponentially. · Electric vehicles compared to vehicles with IC engines are more Energy Efficient & cheaper to run, have about 100 times less moving parts.· Solar cellcosts have reduced manifold.· Cost of sensors & computing power required in Autonomous car, have reduced drastically.So in near future we can hope to see Autonomous Electric Vehicles powered by efficient lithium-ion batteries, charged by abundantly available solar power. This will impact many facets of our lives.The new-edge transport solution will aim at improving asset utilization which today is less than five percent (with cars being parked most of the time) to may be over 90 percent and with convergence of Solar Energy, Electric & Autonomous Vehicle. It would take cognizance of low maintenance (low running costs), higher safety (consequently low cost of insurance), lower pollution (impact on environment), lesser parking space (real estate released), driving as a profession, driving time utilization and fuel stations (solar stations instead of gas stations). Also, it will provide a solution to the parking & traffic congestions. This will be the breeding ground for a new mobility business model.So what we as individual need to do, think and act? Try it before discarding, even the thoughts. It's time to connect to a vision, a vision that re-invents in this digital world in order to create disruption. It is not about doing the same thing differently, but it's about doing different things. My 5C secrets to take the giant leap in the world of Digital:1. Convergence is the key to success2. Collaborate to win 3. Change the mindset. Have an open mind4. Cross your threshold. Think beyond tomorrow5. Co-create & LeadThe time is here & now to Lead Disruption rather than being disrupted. It's time to escape the trap of incremental thinking and re-invent in the world of Digital. B Ghosh
