India’s commitment to fostering a skilled workforce and driving innovation is highlighted through Shri Chaudhary’s participation. He will engage in panel discussions and Government-to-Business (G2B) engagements, focusing on the evolving technological landscape, the impact of AI adoption, and the critical role of skilling in driving transformational change. “We have an opportunity to reimagine growth and social equity; to invest in people and build sustainable industries,” said Shri Chaudhary in a tweet.
This year’s WEF agenda focuses on five core pillars: Reimagining Growth, Industries in the Intelligent Age, Investing in People, Safeguarding the Planet, and Rebuilding Trust. India, ranked second globally in future work skills, aims to lead in workforce development and reskilling, with discussions centered on preparing for technological advancements and empowering women in the workforce. In Guwahati , the focus on skill development aligns with local industries’ needs for a trained workforce, boosting innovation and sustainable practices in the region’s growing sectors, including technology and green energy. As global trends emphasize upskilling, Guwahati’s businesses stand to benefit from India’s broader workforce transformation.
