SESSION 1
HUMAN X AI: EMPLOYMENT ROADMAP 2026–2030

The next five years will define how India works. As artificial intelligence moves from the margins to the mainstream, this session charts a bold employment roadmap for 2026–2030 — one where technology amplifies human potential rather than replaces it. From reskilling imperatives and new employment models to policy frameworks that keep pace with disruption, this session brings together leaders to ask the defining question: not whether AI will reshape work, but how India's workforce will lead the way forward.

EMPLOYMENT FORWARD: MANUFACTURING | GREEN ECONOMY | MSMEs

India's next employment revolution won't be coded — it will be built, grown, and crafted. From factory floors powering Make in India to solar farms driving the green transition, and the 63 million MSMEs that form the backbone of India's economy, this session spotlights the sectors where the real jobs of tomorrow are being created. We explore the talent strategies, skilling investments, and policy enablers that will unlock their full employment potential — and propel India forward.
15:30 – 16:30 HRS
SESSION 3
HUMAN EDGE WITH DIGITAL INCLUSION

In the race toward an AI-powered economy, the greatest risk isn't technology — it's leaving people behind. This session explores how India can harness the human edge — empathy, creativity, adaptability, and judgement — while ensuring that digital transformation reaches every worker, every region, and every rung of the economic ladder. From bridging the digital divide to building an inclusive workforce of the future, we examine how Employment Forward truly means employment for all.
