It was a pleasure meeting Mr. Varad Raj, Global Head – Talent Acquisition, Infosys, at the National Summit 2026 in Chennai, hosted by Revature – AI Academy in a Box.

The summit brought together leaders from industry and academia including Vice Chancellors, HR Heads, Recruiters, Presidents / Trustees, Directors, and Training Placement Officers (TPOs) from across India to discuss critical themes such as:
• AI adoption in educational institutes
• The evolving impact of AI on employment
• AI-driven transformation in the IT industry
• Preparing students for the jobs of tomorrow
Truly insightful sessions with plenty of takeaways.

My sincere thanks to James Sir for the warm hospitality and for bringing us all together.
