Information and Communication Technologies for Development

I am a graduate student of the Engineering Systems Division at MIT doing the MLOG program. I have been a consultant over the past several years where we used technology to solve several business issues.
Having been a native of India, I have witnessed first hand the transformation that has happened in India because of information and communication technologies. Computers and cellphones have revolutionized life to an incredible extent right from booking tickets on the internet to transferring funds to pay your utility bills helping people save time, energy and effort.
The DLab class is an opportunity to examine the next generation of benefits that can be derived out of this technology. I look forward to witnessing the innovations and creations of the various teams that are participating in this class.
