Jaipur, May, 2024.

To mark the Silver Jubilee of Data Ingenious Global Limited (formerly Data Infosys), Lieutenant General Dheeraj Seth (AVSM), Army Commander, South Western Command, gave an exciting presentation comparing the battlefield with the business world. Addressing his thoughts on the event's theme, Bharat@2047, Lieutenant General Dheeraj Seth said there is a 'VUCA' in both situations - an environment of Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity.

Furthermore, he effectively compared how 'Strike' (Strategic Thinking, Resilience, Initiative and Innovation, Know Yourself and Know Your Adversary and Effective Leadership) can be applied on the battlefield as well as in the corporate world. For 'Strategic Thinking' he quoted the example of Bangladesh's independence while comparing it with the business world; For 'resilience', he gave the example of the Battle of Longewala; For 'Initiatives', he mentioned Operation-Siachen Glacier: 1984; For 'innovation' he gave the examples of 'Crossing of Meghna River' and drone technology. Finally, for 'effective leadership', he talked about the Kargil War of 1999.

Another eminent speaker, Mr. Sharad Sharma, Founder, iSpirit Foundation, talked about Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI). He explained how the DPI revolution is creating new opportunities in India. He further explained that India has introduced 'techno-legal regulation', which focuses on public policy (laws and regulations) and public technology (platforms and protocols). He also highlighted that the world is interested in DPI to avoid digital colonization.

In addition, a panel discussion on the topic 'Unleashing India's AI Potential: Building a World Class AI Ecosystem by 2047' was also organized on this occasion. Other prominent speakers like Jagdish Mitra, Executive Committee, NASSCOM and Board Member, NSDC; Founder of FarEye, Gautam Kumar; and Sunil Gupta, Founder of QNULabs, also expressed their views on the theme.
