The Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing industries and daily life by connecting devices, sensors, and systems to create an intelligent, data-driven ecosystem. At the India Internet Research Foundation (IIRO), we focus on understanding IoT’s role in India’s digital transformation, identifying challenges, and formulating policy recommendations to ensure secure, efficient, and inclusive IoT adoption.
We examine how IoT is enhancing urban planning, smart cities, and sustainable development in India. Our research evaluates IoT-powered solutions in traffic management, waste disposal, water conservation, and energy efficiency.
Agriculture is the backbone of India’s economy, and IoT-driven innovations are transforming farming techniques, precision agriculture, and supply chains. We analyze IoT’s impact on smart irrigation, weather monitoring, soil health management, and agritech solutions to improve productivity.
With billions of connected devices, cybersecurity risks and data privacy are critical concerns. Our research delves into IoT security frameworks, regulatory policies, and best practices to ensure safe deployment and prevent data breaches.
From remote patient monitoring to AI-assisted diagnostics, IoT is reshaping healthcare. IIRO studies the role of wearable devices, telemedicine, and real-time health tracking in improving access to quality healthcare, especially in rural areas.
The Fourth Industrial Revolution is driven by IoT-enabled automation, predictive maintenance, and supply chain optimization. IIRO’s research explores Industry 4.0 adoption in India, evaluating its impact on productivity, cost reduction, and workforce upskilling.
A structured regulatory framework is essential for seamless and secure IoT integration. We provide insights into standards, data governance, and ethical considerations surrounding IoT, ensuring its alignment with national and global policies.
IIRO is committed to advancing IoT research, fostering innovation, and developing policy solutions that promote a secure and inclusive IoT ecosystem in India. By bridging the gap between technology, governance, and society, we aim to ensure that IoT contributes meaningfully to India’s digital future.
