The future of talent is being redefined faster than ever before. It will not be shaped by individual organizations acting alone, but by an industry willing to come together, confront difficult questions, and collectively build the foundations of the future. Building on the momentum of ongoing Nasscom Talent Council and CHRO engagements, senior HR convened in Bengaluru for a candid discussion on one of the defining challenges of our time. How can India build a workforce ready for an AI-first economy and evolve from being the world's technology powerhouse to becoming the world's most adaptive talent economy? As AI reshapes business models, operating structures, and work itself, the conversation moved beyond broad industry dialogue to focus on the real questions facing organizations today: · How do we move from incremental talent adjustments to true workforce agility? · What does employability look like in an AI-first world? · How do we build the leadership depth needed to navigate this transformation? A clear theme emerged: this is no longer about managing change. It is about building an entirely new architecture for talent, capability, and workforce readiness. Key areas of discussion included: · AI-first workforce transformation strategies · The future of skills and entry-level employability · Building agile, adaptive organizations · Industry-led pathways to accelerate workforce readiness at scale · Government as an ecosystem architect; enabling industry, academia to become part of a coordinated architecture that accelerates workforce readiness at scale. Glimpses from a day of powerful insights and strategic foresight. #NasscomTalentCouncil #CHROConnect #FutureOfWork #TalentTransformation #AIFirst #WorkforceReadiness #LeadershipCapability #HRCommunity

The future of engineering is being shaped by multiple shifts happening at once AI, software-defined products, platform-led innovation, changing supply chains, and the rapid rise of new markets. As the pace of change accelerates, the opportunity is no longer just to participate in global R&D, but to help define what comes next. Sharing his perspective on this shift,@KPITKishorPatil , Co-founder, CEO & MD, @KPIT Technologies,and Vice Chairperson, Nasscom, reflects on the defining moment facing the global engineering and R&D industry. This is India’s ER&D story. #IndiaERDProwess #ERandD

AI is expanding the scope of what technology services can deliver. As enterprises move towards Human AI operating models, the opportunity is shifting from technology implementation to orchestrating intelligent, trusted, and outcome-led transformation at scale. N Chandrasekaran, Chairman, Tata Sons rightly outlines five opportunity areas that could shape the next phase of growth for the technology industry 1. Modernizing Core Infrastructure: Overhauling legacy systems to build robust data foundations and cybersecurity. ​2. End-to-End Business Reimaginings: Redesigning workflows, from supply chains to customer journeys. ​3. Overseeing Autonomous AI: Setting up, monitoring, and managing compliance for evolving AI agents. ​4. The Rise of Sovereign AI: Meeting government demand for state-owned AI tech, sovereign clouds, and secure infrastructure. ​5. Integration of Physical AI: Linking IT and AI with physical equipment across factories, warehouses, and energy networks. @TataCompanies

Not long ago, most conversations around AI were centred on models, capabilities, and possibilities. Increasingly, business leaders are asking a different set of questions: Where can AI create value? How do you move from experimentation to adoption? And what does implementation look like inside a business? These themes surfaced repeatedly at Nasscom-SAP Enterprise Connect, held at the SAP Innovation Center in Bengaluru on 4 June. The event was inaugurated by Sindhu Gangadharan, MD, SAP Labs India, who spoke about the role of innovation, collaboration, and technology-led transformation in strengthening India's SME ecosystem. Leaders from the Nasscom SME Council, including Maulik Bhansali, Chair of the Nasscom SME Council, and Srikanth Srinivasan, Vice President & Head, Membership & Outreach at Nasscom, shared perspectives on how industry, technology providers, and startups can work together to help businesses navigate this transition. What stood out was how much of the discussion had moved beyond theory. During the "AI in Action" experience, participants explored applications across finance, procurement, sales, and manufacturing. The demonstrations ranged from predictive forecasting and anomaly detection to intelligent planning, supplier recommendations, predictive maintenance, and spend analytics. The day also offered a look into SAP's Innovation and Experience Centers, where participants experienced digital threads connecting design, manufacturing, operations, and service, alongside demonstrations of automated retail experiences. What emerged over the course of the day was not a single view of AI adoption, but a collection of experiences, questions, and approaches from businesses at different stages of the journey. For many organizations, the conversation is no longer about whether AI matters, but about where it fits, how it scales, and what it takes to make it usef @nasscom_member_ @gangadharansind @chetansamant @SAP @mbhansali @SrikanthNasscom

Engineering excellence starts with talent. As products become more intelligent, connected, and complex, the need for deep engineering expertise has never been greater. Across software, embedded systems, semiconductors, data, and mechanical engineering, India's talent ecosystem continues to power innovation and product development at a global scale. This is India's ER&D story. Stay tuned as we explore the capabilities shaping India's ER&D prowess. #IndiaERDProwess #ERandD #EngineeringInnovation #Nasscom @siva_polimetla1

As the Nasscom GCC Summit series continues its journey across India's innovation corridors, the Nasscom Regional GCC Summit Chennai brought its own distinct voice and depth to this conversation. The city's GCC leadership community spanning technology, engineering, BFSI, and automotive came together for a focused dialogue on strategic ownership, AI-native transformation, and the leadership architecture that will define the next phase of India's GCC story. What stood out was not just the quality of conversation, but the collective clarity in the room that India's GCCs have moved well past the delivery narrative. The ambition now is ownership. And it is precisely this shift, playing out across cities like Chennai, that continues to reinforce India's position as the Innovation-led GCC Capital of the World. Some of the strongest themes that emerged: · GCCs evolving into the control plane for autonomous, AI-driven enterprise workflows · AI embedded into the operating model as architecture, not applied as a capability layer · The shift from workforce scale to intentional leadership depth and cultural cohesion · Building inclusive, future-ready workplaces as a sustained performance and retention driver The Nasscom Regional GCC Summit series continues across India's key innovation corridors. Next city chapter, coming soon. #GCCRegionalSummit #NasscomGCC #ForgingTheNextAdvantage #InnovationLedGCCCapitalOfTheWorld #Chennai #AITransformation #GCCStrategy #FutureOfWork

India’s AI innovation ecosystem is being built on more than models and compute. It increasingly depends on access to real-world behavioural data that can help businesses better understand how people engage, decide, and act. A Nasscom GenAI Foundry member, VTION, is addressing this challenge by building a behavioural corpus that enables enterprises to derive actionable insights from evolving consumer behaviour patterns. By transforming behavioural data into scalable intelligence, VTION is helping organizations make more informed decisions and improve customer understanding. #IndiasDeeptechStory #DeepTech #GenAI #Nasscom @VTIONDigital @nasscomai

India has emerged as the world's leading GCC destination, with Global Capability Centres evolving from execution hubs into strategic centres for innovation, product development, and business leadership.
