Driven by digital offerings and the new wave of content play and convergence, the Indian technology, media and entertainment and telecommunications (TMT) industry is expected to grow to over half a trillion dollars by 2021 from the existing quarter of a trillion dollars, an EY report said here.  According to the Ernst & Young (EY) report, with over 1.2 billion connected Indians, the country is home to the second largest mobile market in the world, with smartphones becoming main stream with increasing affordability and availability, and consumers' growing data appetite. "What will fuel this growth is connectivity, collaboration and convergence," the report said. "While convergence creates opportunities outside your market, it also creates new competitors to come and eat your pie. You need to be nimble, agile, ready to break the traditional walls and adapt to this dynamic digital revolution," said Prashant Singhal, Emerging Markets TMT Leader, EY. The report noted that boundaries within the TMT industry no longer existed as convergence had led to new ways of working. The S & P BSE TECK index closed at 5,607.90, down 0.08% on the BSE.
