Artificial intelligence, RPA are not the next big thing happening in India but is already embedded in our systems. The panelist of 7 members, Shalini Mathrani (Dep. Director General, National Informatics center), Ekta Ghosh (Chief Tech. Officer, NIIT), Mitali Nikore (Economist), Shubham Arora (Associate Director, PWC), Shashank Mittal (Sr. Consultant at PwC), Patrick Newell (Prof. Shinzenken), Yogesh Andlay (Board member SOIL), experts from their respective field sat together to do a very informative discussion on where does India stand digitally? What are the consequences and how the challenges could be tackled?
Few key takeaways which came into light and should be kept in mind to build a digital India with the least gap available could be
1. Implementing digital literacy at the basic school level.
2. Transparency in uses of data and security of data.
3. Awareness at village level about digital progress.
4. Government should be abreast about the changes happening in the world digitally and work on implementing it for the benefit for the citizens.
5. Financial services should be digitalized and made cost effective.
6. Up-skilling and product innovation should be taken into account.
As soon to be inspired leaders we should keep these in mind and work on whenever we get chance.
The second day at Inspired Leadership Conference was more colorful and vibrant as it was filled with the beautiful dance performance, group songs presented by the SOIL and SOBD students. It surely was a great learning and a joyous experience for the students of SOIL, SOBD and Shinzenken University as well.
