The implementation of emerging technology projects in the service-based Indian IT sector is the focus of this book. The title highlights the impact of emerging technologies on IT-enabled Services (ITeS) organizations and explores the career prospects for engineers and students seeking to enter the Indian IT industry. Indian IT, dominated by organizations offering ITeS, serves clients worldwide. The growth of this sector is fueled by engineering graduates. Emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data, Cloud, and Blockchain have brought the IT and engineering education sectors to a crossroads with global implications. The IT sector is facing increasing demands for new technology solutions from its clients, and engineering students are expected to upskill in order to build these solutions.

The volume offers a rare, bottom-up perspective on the intersection of technology, education, and organizational structure, based on an ethnographic study. It will be a valuable resource for managers in ITeS navigating emerging technologies, researchers examining how emerging technologies impact organizations, and those developing innovative IT courses in higher education. Readers interested in the global structure of IT education and industry will also find a fresh, ethnographically-informed take on these issues.
