Information Data Systems (IDS) is quietly building one of India’s most ambitious digital learning ecosystems spanning immersive reality, blockchain infrastructure, AI-driven employability, and Industry 4.0 skill development. In an exclusive conversation with Kaanchi Chawla of Elets News Network (ENN) the IDS leadership shares how platforms like IDS-XR and the Bharat Blockchain Network are redefining what it means to be a future-ready institution in India and what a connected digital ecosystem for academia, industry, and government truly looks like. Edited excerpts:
IDS-XR is being positioned as a next-generation immersive learning ecosystem. How is the platform redefining practical education and workforce readiness for Industry 4.0?
IDS-XR is transforming education from passive learning into immersive, hands-on learning. Through virtual classrooms, digital twins, AI-powered simulations, and real-world industry scenarios, students gain practical exposure before entering the workforce. The platform helps institutions create Industry 4.0-ready campuses where learners can collaborate, experiment, and solve real-world challenges in engineering, healthcare, manufacturing, and enterprise environments.
Bharat Blockchain Network (BBN) is emerging as one of India’s largest academic blockchain ecosystems. What strategic value does BBN bring to universities, startups, and government innovation initiatives?
BBN democratizes access to Blockchain infrastructure for academia, startups, enterprises, and government ecosystems. Supported by AICTE and the Ministry of Education, it enables institutions to experiment, innovate, and build real-world Blockchain applications at scale. IDS sees BBN as a foundational trust infrastructure that will accelerate innovation in digital identity, governance, verifiable credentials, and enterprise ecosystems.
Many institutions are investing in emerging technologies but often struggle with implementation. How are IDS Centres of Excellence helping academia move from theoretical learning to real-world innovation?
IDS Centres of Excellence are designed around hands-on learning, live projects, industry collaborations, and real-world implementation. Students gain exposure to AI, Blockchain, Cybersecurity, XR, and Digital Identity ecosystems through practical experimentation rather than only classroom learning. The focus is on building industry-ready talent capable of solving real-world challenges.
