Skills for the Future: Engineering Talent for the AI & Deep-Tech Era


As artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and advanced hardware paradigms reshape global industries, the traditional models of engineering education and technical workforce preparation must fundamentally evolve. India’s vast tech talent pool faces a critical juncture: transitioning from conventional software maintenance and service delivery to pioneering deep-tech innovation and AI-native architecture.

In this keynote, Prof. V. Kamakoti explores the imperative roadmap for nurturing future-ready talent. The session dives into integrating multidisciplinary problem-solving, hands-on architectural design, and indigenous tech research into mainstream engineering curricula, providing actionable frameworks for leaders, educators, and engineers looking to stay ahead in an automated world.
