  • HEV CXO Bridge, Indore (2026)
    I represented Neural Nurture at a roundtable of 30 industry and academic leaders on the talent ecosystem. My takeaway: AI raises the technical floor, not the ceiling, so judgment and ownership now matter most, and industry must help shape the talent pipeline rather than only hire from it.
