With age, siliconindia has only matured and grown into a common name amongst the Indian-American Entrepreneurial Community. The magazine has witnessed many vicissitudes but our initial goal remains the same--to be a forum for Indian professionals to interact, exchange information, develop business relations, and share industry expertise--a proposition that no magazine provides.In carrying on with the tradition of bringing out success stories to inspire the engineering and business professionals from India, we have Kenneth Kannappan on the cover in this edition. Under the guidance of Kannappan, Plantronics--an audio communications company offering corded and wireless products for unified communications--went through massive restructuring in tandem with the technology revolutions such as IoT. This being the case, the tech world is still awestruck at the Silicon Valley's pace in adapting to "the topic of conversation both in the workplace and outside of it--IoT". On a granular level, the Indian entrepreneurial community is also yet to find the answers to many of the concerns that IoT brings forth with it--issues regarding security, privacy and data sharing on an individual and industry level. Another issue that many companies specifically are going to be faced with is around the massive amounts data that all of these devices are going to produce. Companies need to figure out a way to store, track, analyze, and make sense of the vast amounts of data that will be generated.With these and many more challenges, the IoT landscape is a goldmine waiting to be exploited. It is time for the Indian entrepreneurs to dream big, change gears and venture into the IoT territory. With that being said, there are a few who have welcomed the IoT Renaissance with open arms and are on their way to making a name for themselves. In this edition, siliconindia has come up with a list of `The 20 Most Promising Internet of Things Solution Providers'. With the new rule for the future being, `anything that can be connected, will be connected', these are the players to watch out for.Gear Up to the IoT RenaissanceArun KantJeevan GeorgeDurgesh PrakashSandeepa Majumdar
