Glad to be invited again as a Mentor at Hack-N-Win 3.0 at CGC University, Mohali.

AI Summit Delhi

AI Summit
New Delhi, India

Attended the AI Summit in Delhi — and one thing is very clear: AI is moving faster than most people realise. Discussions around new LLM models, real-world deployments and enterprise use-cases showed how quickly industries are shifting from experimentation to actual implementation. We are entering a phase where knowing about AI won't matter — knowing how to use AI will. For students and professionals, the real skill now is not coding alone, it is understanding how to think, build and solve problems using AI tools.

GDG On Campus Hackathon — SCRIET, Meerut

Google Developer Group On Campus · SCRIET / MIET College
Meerut, India

Honoured to be invited as a Guest Speaker & Judge at the Hackathon hosted by Google Developer Group (GDG) On Campus – SCRIET, Meerut in collaboration with the code.scriet community. Delivered a session on the latest AI innovations launched in Firebase and how students can practically use them to build real-world, scalable solutions. As a judge, it was inspiring to evaluate projects that blended AI, creativity and problem-solving under time pressure. Events like these prove one thing clearly — the future of work belongs to builders.

Bharti Foundation Hackathon — Gyan Bharti School

Gyan Bharti School · Bharti Foundation
Amritsar, India

Honoured to be invited as a Speaker & Judge at the Hackathon hosted at Gyan Bharti School, Amritsar — an initiative by the Bharti Foundation. Interacting with students from classes 9–12 was honestly inspiring. What surprised me most was not their coding — but their thinking. Many of them are already exploring AI tools, problem-solving, and startup ideas at a very early stage. Today's students don't lack talent — they lack direction and industry exposure. That is exactly what I spoke about: how skills, not marksheets, will define careers in the coming future of work.
