The Internet of things (IoT) is the inter-networking of physical devices, vehicles (also referred to as "connected devices" and "smart devices"), buildings, and other items—embedded with electronics, software, sensors, actuators, and network connectivity that enable these objects to collect and exchange data.

In 2013 the Global Standards Initiative on Internet of Things (IoT-GSI) defined the IoT as "the infrastructure of the information society." The IoT allows objects to be sensed or controlled remotely across existing network infrastructure, creating opportunities for more direct integration of the physical world into computer-based systems, and resulting in improved efficiency, accuracy and economic benefit in addition to reduced human intervention.

When IoT is augmented with sensors and actuators, the technology becomes an instance of the more general class of cyber-physical systems, which also encompasses technologies such as smart grids, virtual power plants, smart homes, intelligent transportation and smart cities.

Each thing is uniquely identifiable through its embedded computing system but is able to interoperate within the existing Internet infrastructure.

Experts estimate that the IoT will consist of almost 50 billion objects by 2020.

Wearable technology, wearables, fashionable technology, wearable devices, tech togs, or fashion electronics are smart electronic devices (electronic device with microcontrollers) that can be worn on the body as implant or accessories.

The designs often incorporate practical functions and features.

Virtual reality (VR) typically refers to computer technologies that use virtual reality headsets to generate the realistic images, sounds and other sensations that replicate a real environment or create an imaginary setting.

VR also simulates a user's physical presence in this environment.

VR has been defined as "a realistic and immersive simulation of a three-dimensional 360 degree environment, created using interactive software and hardware, and experienced or controlled by movement of the body" or as an "immersive, interactive experience generated by a computer".

Mumbai (also known as Bombay, the official name until 1995) is the capital city of the Indian state of Maharashtra.

It is the most populous city in India and the ninth most populous agglomeration in the world, with an estimated city population of 18.4 million.

Along with the neighbouring regions of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, it is one of the most populous urban regions in the world and the second most populous metropolitan area in India, with a population of 20.7 million.

Mumbai lies on the west coast of India and has a deep natural harbour.

In 2008, Mumbai was named an alpha world city.

It is also the wealthiest city in India, and has the highest GDP of any city in South, West, or Central Asia.

Mumbai has the highest number of billionaires and millionaires among all cities in India.

Hyderabad (often) is the capital of the southern Indian state of Telangana and de jure capital of Andhra Pradesh.

Occupying along the banks of the Musi River, it has a population of about and a metropolitan population of about, making it the fourth most populous city and sixth most populous urban agglomeration in India.

At an average altitude of, much of Hyderabad is situated on hilly terrain around artificial lakes, including Hussain Sagar—predating the city's founding—north of the city centre.
