In her address, Dr. Meena Chintamaneni said, \u201cWe believe we are in the noble profession of educating the youth, but if they are not useful to society and industry, it has no meaning, which is why industry stakeholder feedback helps us know whether we are on the right track. For nearly a decade, we have focused on outcome-based, learner-centric education through experiential learning, project-based learning, and internships aligned with real industry needs. Our ultimate goal is that students become truly employable, prepared from day one with the skills, critical thinking, and digital readiness required by the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prof. (Dr.) Jyotsna Singh highlighted,\u201cAt SVKM\u2019s NMIMS, we carry forward a legacy of value-based quality education, and through this HR Conclave, we are creating an ecosystem that strengthens the vital bridge between academia and industry. In today\u2019s AI-driven era, it is not just about how AI is shaping industries, but how the entire industry landscape is changing across domains. As an institution of higher education, our responsibility goes beyond imparting knowledge; we must ensure our curriculum and learning remain aligned with real-world needs, because while we provide degrees, it is students\u2019 skills, adaptability, and ability to apply knowledge that will define their future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Ravinder Singh Zandu spoke, \u201c This conclave brings together academia and industry to reflect on whether we are on the right track in preparing students for real world needs. Data is the crux for any AI system to work rightly, and unless you have the right, varied, and truly representative data, the outcomes will always be wrong. That is why transparency, fairness, ethics, and explainable AI are essential to build systems that people can truly trust.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sharing his thoughts on the success of the conclave, Mr. Abhishek Mehta said:
\u201cHR Conclave 2.0 was envisioned as a knowledge-sharing platform where students could directly engage with industry stalwarts and legal experts. The overwhelming participation and depth of discussions reaffirm the importance of such initiatives in bridging the gap between classroom learning and corporate expectations.\u201d
