On Friday, January 31st 2025, I moderated a panel discussion on Tech x Policy: Driving Inclusion in India.
The evening brought together the dynamic communities of Women in Tech India and LSE Alumni, along with alumni from Cambridge, Imperial and SOAS. It was an inspiring exchange of ideas.
The panel explored India's digital shift unpacking how Aadhaar and the India Stack drive inclusion while raising challenges in data privacy, AI biases and regulation. They also highlighted policy gaps, ethics and public-private roles in skilling and re-skilling India, leaving the audience with insightful takeaways.
The intimate and interactive setting added to the evening, fostering engaging audience participation. The Q&A session became a dynamic exchange, with attendees sharing personal experiences, questioning assumptions and delving deeper into the implications of tech-driven policy. These discussions spilled over into informal conversations over drinks and dinner, making for a truly engaging and thought-provoking evening.
