"De-globalization is happening, across the world. Firstly, the countries which were promoting free trading now are slowly becoming insular. It is stated with Britain and Now President Trump’s announcement on the barrier on Imports and out sourcing is a dangerous thing for the Indian IT Industry and hope Globalisation will not stop. Secondly, with the rise of Robots, in Manufacturing Industry, it is suspected to replace the skilled workers. With the rise of Robots many jobs are at the stake. Lastly, with the introduction of Artificial Intelligence, blue and white colour jobs are also going to vanish and some newer form of job will get introduced. This year it has started with a gloomy note like Demonitisation unlike other year was started with a good note. What we see VARINDIA is changing this time for better, and brings a great platform like this with the Industry and the stake holders for business Networking."
