From a small entity two decades ago to being at the epicenter of revolution that is taking place within the Indian tech community today, siliconindia has truly come a long way.All through the journey, siliconindia has brought to the world stories of burgeoning entrepreneurs alongside information, news, analysis, and opinion on business and technology in India and the United States. We have stuck to our ethos and have been that quintessential forum for Indian professionals to interact, exchange knowledge, develop business relations and share their experiences and expertise--a one of kind proposition made as early as 1997. Following the tradition, the spotlight of this issue is on Big Data. Big Data has gone from the theoretical to the practical. The availability of humongous data created through global connectivity via smart devices, and the need for a better understanding of this data has thrown up waves of opportunities for the IT sector. Multiple real world examples have highlighted the amazing potential of Big Data--from driving growth and reducing cost to completely transforming the business. Implementing astute solutions to analyze and interpret the data are equally important challenges for companies. The market potential is huge for vendors of Big Data solution providers.siliconindia's editorial team and a panel of industry have over the last few months shortlisted a list of the 20 Most Promising Big Data Companies. These companies are disruptors of this space, solving new problems that the ones could not. We hope you enjoy this edition.Like the entrepreneurs in this edition, we are grateful to the Indian tech leaders who have been supportive through these eventful years, by sharing their experiences and visions with the community. We hope to have your support in the future as well.Much Time, Many Changes Editor-in-Chief Harvi Sachar Managing Editor Christo Jacob Editorial Staff Anamika Sahu Dylan D'Souza Mewanshwa Kharshiing Rachita Sharma Sandeep Sen Sagaya Christuraj Sudhakar Singh Vignesh Anantharaj Sr.Visualiser Ashok kumar Circulation Manager Magendran Perumal Mailing AddressSiliconIndia Inc44790 S.
