“Few years ago, CIOs were normally “IT people” who had qualifications in areas such as Bachelors of IT or engineering,” says Amit Jaokar, EVP – IT, Choice International. “However, nowadays, the CIO’s skill has required an increasing amount of domain knowledge of the industry they are in and to top it business knowledge.” 

He further continues, “Of late, it’s become conjoint for CIOs to not only have significant technological credentials but also to have acquired advanced grades in business (e.g., MBAs). This shift is revealing of a larger trend in which CIOs arerelied upon to lead their companies' digital advancements by creating an IT strategy that sets the course of innovation while accommodating digital initiatives. The IT function is now integrated into all aspects of anorganization and is expected to operate as a business-within-a business. Overseeing these changes is the CIO, a role that is constantly evolving to meet the new world of Technology,” he continues.
