JAIPUR, India, Jan. 9, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Genpact (NYSE:
G), a global leader in digitally-powered business process
management and services, today unveiled the Global Center of
Excellence in Jaipur as part of Cisco's Lighthouse City project, a
global initiative designed to deploy next-generation technologies
to impact citizens and society. With this initiative, Jaipur will
gain access to Cisco's global network and channel program
capabilities helping the city benefit from economic and social
transformation as the country embarks on the next phase of the
Digital India program. Hosted and operated in Genpact's
state-of-the-art facility in Jaipur, the Center will serve as an
innovation lab for Genpact and its partnering technology firms to
rapidly test and deploy the latest smart technology advances from
Cisco to help Jaipur become a fully responsive, smart and connected
city.
"Government leaders today increasingly recognize the importance
of digitization as the foundation for economic growth, job
creation, and the development of a knowledgeable workforce. Our
commitment with the Cisco® lighthouse initiative in Jaipur is to
help the state develop an ecosystem of talent, entrepreneurship,
and innovation to drive growth, generate jobs, diversify the
economy, and support sustainable growth. I greatly admire Chief
Minister Vasundhara Raje for her
strong vision to digitize Rajasthan, and we're honored to
collaborate with the state to help realize its vision of 'Digital
Rajasthan,'" said John Chambers,
Executive Chairman, Cisco.
As part of a Memorandum of Understanding among Genpact, Cisco,
and the Government of Rajasthan, Genpact is using data gathered
from Cisco's Smart+Connected™ Digital Platform (CDP), Cisco
Connected Mobile Experiences, and Cisco Video Surveillance Manager
Solutions to develop analytics-driven technology applications in
the Center. These applications are designed to enhance the quality
and performance of urban services, allow the government to engage
effectively with its citizens, and provide real-time responses to
operational challenges for these services.
With the opening of the Center today, the prototypes for
Genpact's first Smart City applications were unveiled for
deployment in Jaipur. The initial pilots include applications for
real-time identification of vacant parking slots in the city, foot
fall forecasting for timely optimization of promotional events,
visitor pattern identification for public campaign efficacy, and
real-time way-finding and tourist recommendations.
"The government of Rajasthan is proud to be part of a
large-scale, pioneering Cisco project like Lighthouse City. The
application of advanced digital technologies will benefit the city
of Jaipur in its agenda of economic and social progress through
enhanced citizen experiences. The collaboration between Genpact,
Cisco, and the State of Rajasthan will significantly help Jaipur
become a city of the future," said Smt Vasundhara Raje,
Honorable Chief Minister of Rajasthan.
"Being the largest employer in Jaipur, Genpact is especially
excited to combine Cisco's Smart City technology platform with our
analytics expertise, and apply it to improve the everyday lives of
the people who live and work in this city," said NV 'Tiger'
Tyagarajan, President and Chief Executive Officer, Genpact. "We
believe this collaboration will have a resounding ripple effect on
a global scale by demonstrating how collaborative innovation can
result in making a large city like Jaipur truly smart and
connected."
Genpact will utilize advanced, disruptive technologies such as
robotic process automation, machine learning, advanced
visualization, and Internet of Things (IoT) to create applications
that will be integrated into the operations and future economic
development of the city. The Center will use Genpact's Lean
DigitalSM approach that harnesses the combined power of
process-centric technologies, design thinking methodologies, and
domain expertise, and will collaborate with startups, government
agencies, and academic institutions to promote innovation and
advance the development of IoT solutions.
Cisco has identified Jaipur, the capital of the State of
Rajasthan in India, as the first
smart and connected Lighthouse City in South Asia, in addition to cities in other
