NPC had the full coverage of the latest and greatest topics, which are relevant now than ever, including BlockChain, IoT, AI, ML, ChatBot, Cyber Security including providing a platform and ecosystem for startups to showcase their products and meet the angels. As you would very well assume, there were multiple tracks running in parallel, so I can shed light only on the ones I had the opportunity to participate. The keynote was by Shashi Seth, SVP Oracle on how to fuel innovation in your company, and leapfrog the competition. I then chose to follow the DeepTech Summit, starting with a talk by Prof. Sitharama Iyengar Sundaraja, Director, Florida University. The Professor shared his opinion about the 4 industrial revolutions, followed by Prof. Sunitha Sarawagi, IIT Bombay, who discussed about the current state and future direction of research in the field of AI and ML. Before the lunch, Sriram Rajamani, MD Microsoft India did put up an awesome demo of how IoT, AI, ML can be deployed together on smaller devices also rather than only on high end servers. The post lunch started with a workshop by Prof. Dishan Kamdar, Deputy Dean, ISB and he focused on how to Get To Yes from your stakeholders and competitors, in case of a conflict or negotiation situation.

Avanish Sahai, VP ServiceNow was invited to share his expertise on how to build a world class ecosystem including all stakeholders, customers, vendors, partners and employees alike. And then, we had the social entrepreneur Atul Satija, Founder of The Nudge Foundation, who has shown to the world that how important and easy it is to create a huge social impact through technology and product innovation by helping the underprivileged. Everyone in the plenary session felt connected when Dipesh Shah, MD Samsung India narrated the story of how listening to consumers has helped them change the face and perception of India Center and put on global minds within and outside the organization. Finally, The Jonty Rhodes, the great cricketer came on stage and not surprisingly, the whole hall was so full that there was no place to stand. Luckily I was in the second row;). Jonty shared some very interesting stories in order to pass many key messages. I have been able to capture most of them and they are…
