27th National Conference & 13th HR Showcase 2025, by National HRD Network (NHRD).
Event Overview
L&T EduTech’s Head of Enterprise Business, Sreechand Sreedhar, participated in a dynamic panel discussion at the 27th National Conference & 13th HR Showcase 2025, organized by the National HRD Network (NHRD). Centered on the theme “Future-Ready Workforce: Thriving in the Age of AI,” the discussion delved into the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on industries, careers, and the evolving nature of work.
The panel emphasized that AI is not a replacement for human roles but a tool that is reshaping workflows and career trajectories. In industries such as construction and education, adaptability has become a key skill for professionals navigating AI-driven transformations. The discussion highlighted the increasing adoption of AI, particularly among students, and the shift of specialists towards broader, more versatile roles to keep pace with rapid technological advancements.
A key takeaway from the discussion was the rise of “Totalists”—professionals who integrate a diverse set of skills rather than specializing in a single domain. As industries evolve, adaptability and cognitive abilities are becoming more valuable than traditional degree-based qualifications. The panel underscored the importance of critical thinking, problem-solving, and continuous learning in preparing the workforce for an AI-enhanced future.
Panellists:
- Dr. Vishal Shah (Moderator) – VP of Leadership & Organization Development, Indegene
- Abhishek Kumar – CEO, Ripples Learning & CHRMP
- Santhosh KC – Associate VP & Head, Infosys Leadership Institute
- Prof. Eishwar Maanay – Dean, BNM Institute of Technology
The session concluded with an insightful discussion on how organizations and educational institutions must proactively adapt to equip professionals with the necessary skills to thrive in an AI-driven world. The panel stressed the urgency of upskilling and reskilling to ensure workforce agility and future-readiness.
In addition to the panel discussion, L&T EduTech showcased its innovative solutions and services at a dedicated stall, engaging with attendees and demonstrating the company’s commitment to education and professional upskilling.
