Soumendra Mohanty, Chief Strategy Officer, Tredence
“Building a Viksit Bharat will depend not just on technological innovation, but on how well we prepare our workforce to evolve alongside it. As AI—and more significantly, Agentic AI—reshapes industries, the need for continuous upskilling and cross-skilling becomes critical. These intelligent systems are no longer just tools; they are dynamic partners that can independently adapt, make decisions, and enhance how we work across sectors.
To stay ahead, organizations must invest in holistic capability building—developing not just technical skills, but also strategic thinking, ethical judgment, and emotional intelligence. Empowering employees to experiment with AI in real-world scenarios, creating safe learning environments, and promoting AI fluency across functions are essential steps toward a future-ready workforce.
The future of work is not about humans versus machines—it’s about enabling people to harness the power of AI to solve complex problems, make better decisions, and lead innovation. A truly future-ready workforce will not fear change, but will lead it—with confidence, curiosity, and purpose. This is how we unlock the true potential of our youth and pave the way for India’s leadership in the global knowledge economy.”
