The conference laid emphasis on the transformative potential of Artificial Intelligence with industry leaders, technology innovators trying to explore the way AI is reshaping industries.

More than 1,000 officials belonging to several information technology majors, including AWS, Google, Freshworks, Clevertap, Swiggy, participated.
