Had the privilege of attending the World Manufacturing Congress & Awards on Friday, January 21st, at Taj Lands End, Mumbai—a fantastic gathering of industry leaders, innovators, and change-makers shaping the future of manufacturing in India.

The event was packed with insightful panel discussions on technology trends, AI, and sustainability initiatives in manufacturing. I was honored to be part of the panel discussion on AI in Manufacturing, where we explored the transformative role of AI in enhancing efficiency, driving innovation, and the challenges we must overcome to ensure sustainability in manufacturing.

A big thank you to Japleen Kaur for moderating an engaging conversation and to my fellow panellists Manish Saini, Nilesh Shah, and Nitin Jain for the stimulating exchange of ideas. It’s always inspiring to discuss the future of manufacturing with passionate leaders who are shaping the industry.

Events like these remind us how fast the world of manufacturing is evolving—and the incredible potential AI holds in making processes smarter, more sustainable, and future-ready. Excited for what’s ahead!
