Technology is a crucial part of today’s start-up era. Technology is filling-in a lot of gaps in various sectors. We can say that it is one of the pillars on which New-age entrepreneurs build their brands. Startups are actively using artificial intelligence (AI) to reimagine the customer experience and propel business success. In the last few years, innovation has increased significantly for two technologies: artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. IDC’s recent estimate projects that by 2025, the AI market in India will be worth USD 7.8 billion. There is no doubt that AI is driving growth for start-ups as well as providing customers with a seamless experience. Technology is disrupting every sector of the economy.
