The ongoing technological revolution has given rise to deep technologies that will be at the heart of the next wave of information disruption. India has witnessed accelerated digital transformation in the last decade. To support increased production while reducing errors, digitization will play an important role. Seashore offers these businesses Private Cellular Networks. Seashore's unique software-driven offerings allows enterprises to continuously reconfigure their networks. It enables operators to add intelligence, quickly adapt the network to diverse services, and automate processes to swiftly scale the network and lower the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). The company has been recognized by the global community as a pioneer in the field of 5G and Wireless. It is also among the top 30 winners of the famous Indian DoT 5G Hackathon, which was overseen by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Seashore Networks has concluded successful 5G trials with tier-I operators running live traffic and their latest offering Private 5G series is available commercially to deploy.

Ankit Dixit, Founder of the company is a dynamic leader with a strong background in marketing, sales, analytics, digital, mobility, and business performance management. Ankit has spent many years in the wireless industry, not only advising Boards and C-suites on transformational decisions but also purchasing network technology and equipment. He noticed a market gap at this point. The future wireless infrastructure cannot be scaled economically if it is hardware-centric, more and more network functions must be delivered using the software so that the digital transformation does not stall due to a rigid network. Instead, a flexible network becomes a competitive advantage for future peer differentiation.

In an exclusive interview with CIO Insider Magazine, Ankit talks more about his professional journey and how he has been able to achieve success in

the industry.
