Visit to Bangalore Tech Summit 2023.

 Tech Summit Day 2 visit by George Easaw, Alliance University

The first session I attended was in the JC Bose Hall on the topic - Tech interventions for a sustainable future, which was moderated by Guruprakash Sastry, Head of Climate Action at Infosys. Santosh Subramaniam, CIO from Veolia and Prof Claudio Tusson gave interesting talks on the impact of technology on Climate change.. The session was  interesting.

The second session that I attended was in the CV Raman Hall on the Future of Quantum Computing moderated by Doraiswamy from Veolia. , the panelists were Krishna Palem from Accelequant, Dinakaran from IBM Research and Prof. Anil Prabhakar from IIT Madras. The session was quite informative and gave an idea of the future of quantum computing which would not be possible in the near future and would take at least 30 - 50 years.

The third session was on the rapid evolution of Generative AI. The moderator was Ranjan Mani from Atlassian, the panelists were Ulhas Nambiar from Accenture, Amogha from Mudskipper and Ganesh from Gnani. The deliberations were very informative and involved a lot of discussions.

The next two sessions we were at the Ramachandran hall where the talks were based in biotech and keeping epidemics at bay. And on riding the agritech wave. The moderator was Patil, CEO of Krishikalpa and the panelsist were Sunil Jain from Agrostar, Basavaraj from Criyagen and Ravi Sajjan from Hunnugdna.. The deliberations were on the impact of technology in the green field environment and the deliberations were quite helpful and informative.

The talks were of very good quality. The speakers were eminent personalities from different fields of science, technology and industry.  As  all the sessions were parallelly running in 4 to 5 different halls, it was difficult to attend all the sessions, however we selected the interesting ones and attended them.
