“We are living in a time where technology is changing everything around us. From driverless cars and smart robots to modern factories and better healthcare, innovation is creating a new, automated world. At the center of this change is artificial intelligence. But AI is only as good as the data it learns from.

As we build smarter systems, we also face bigger challenges. Many AI-powered solutions use a lot of energy. They need complex cooling systems. In some areas like drones, robotics, or self-driving cars, even a small delay in decision-making can be risky. The solution to these problems will determine how sustainable our future will be.

One key step in this direction is processing data closer to where it’s generated—at the edge. This reduces the need to send large volumes of data to the cloud, cutting down not just on costs and delays, but also on energy consumption. By minimizing data movement, edge processing helps make AI systems faster, more efficient, and more environmentally friendly

India has come a long way. Our engineers, scientists, and innovators are solving big problems every day. But now, we must take the next step. We need to design systems that are not just powerful but also use less energy, create less heat, and work faster. The future will not be built by speed alone. It will be built by thoughtful innovation and technology that is smart, efficient, and kind to the planet. That is how we move toward a better, more balanced world.”

“Technology has come a long way. In just a few decades, we’ve gone from dial-up internet to intelligent machines and self-learning software. We have reached a point where the market for AI related use cases is vast, amounting to around 244 billion U.S. dollars in 2025 and is expected to grow to well over 300% by 2030. 

So, let us look at what is the soul of such technology? At its core, the soul of technology is not just about circuits, code, or algorithms—it’s about solving real problems, breaking barriers, and making the impossible, possible. Whether it’s connecting people across continents, curing diseases with data, or creating tools that think, the soul of tech is innovation with purpose. It’s creativity, curiosity, and bold vision—expressed through machines.

As we create, we must also protect. Cybersecurity is more than defense; it is the quiet guardian of progress. It protects innovation so it can truly thrive.”

By-Gopi Sirineni, CEO and Co-Founder, Axiado

 “Innovation today is inseparable from responsibility. Empowering a sustainable tomorrow begins with building technology that advances and also endures. In cybersecurity, this means designing systems that are resilient by default, not patched after the fact. As innovation accelerates, the sustainability of our digital future hinges on trust: in the systems we create, the data we protect, and the people we serve.

Traditional, software-only security is no longer enough, especially in high-risk environments like data centers and 5G networks. These systems manage massive volumes of sensitive data and are increasingly targeted by sophisticated, hardware-level attacks. To protect them, we need security that’s built into the hardware itself, resilient by design, not reactive.

Innovation will always push boundaries. It’s our responsibility to ensure those boundaries are reinforced with integrity, privacy, and resilience, so that what we build today continues to empower generations to come.Empowering the future means securing it first.”

“Innovation is not reserved for experienced professionals alone! An inquisitive mind of a student or a fresher can be just as innovative. An innovation need not be a paradigm shift—it can be a simple idea that makes life easier for someone or makes something more efficient. Great ideas can emerge at any time, from anyone, anywhere. It is the responsibility of schools and mentors to nurture these ideas, encouraging them to be explored and developed.

A startup can serve as a launch pad where ideas are transformed into real-world products or services. Frugal innovation, in particular, offers a sustainable way to turn creative thinking into impactful outcomes. They also provide young people with a hands-on environment to learn the many dimensions of entrepreneurship. Involvement in early-stage ventures equips them with the skills and mindset to thrive—either as founders or as integral contributors to larger enterprises.

Beginning the entrepreneurial journey early in one’s career can be highly advantageous. Young minds are often free from entrenched biases and possess a natural appetite for risk. To truly harness this potential, collaboration between industry and academia is essential—empowering the next generation to pursue entrepreneurship as a viable and impactful career path.

India currently faces ecosystem gaps across nearly in every industry. Startups and MSMEs are uniquely positioned to address these challenges. Young innovators should feel encouraged to step forward and take on this responsibility—knowing that both industry and academia stand ready to support their efforts.”

“Early exposure to an innovation-driven environment can transform how young minds approach problem-solving. Only when students are introduced to the possibilities of technology, their ideas grow into impactful solutions. For instance, a student exposed to coding early on might go from designing simple apps to building tools that address real-world challenges like climate change or healthcare inefficiencies. This early nurturing of creativity helps them see technology not as a mere tool but as a platform for positive change.

 But how do we expect young people to become problem-solvers if we train them to avoid mistakes? True innovation thrives only when we are unafraid to take risks. It flourishes in freedom, in trial and error, and in the willingness to fail. They must learn that setbacks are stepping stones to success, and schools play a vital role in fostering this resilience and adaptability.

 Educational institutions, adapting to changing times, must shift from valuing perfect answers to rewarding bold and innovative solutions. They are essential in this process, acting like a laboratory where failure isn’t a dead-end, but part of the scientific process.  This shift doesn’t take million-dollar labs or advanced tech. It requires giving students the space to care, to try, and develop a genuine curiosity for learning. Because real growth begins with failure, preparing them to embrace challenges and innovate fearlessly in the entrepreneurial world.”
