Published

on

Futurense unites top CXOs and industry leaders across domains to form an exclusive community that will work towards bridging the gap between industry and academia.

MUMBAI, India, Nov. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — In response to the growing demand for AI talent and the rapid technological advancements driving the need for skilled professionals, Futurense has launched the Futurense Leadership Council (FLC), India’s first AI think tank. This initiative comes at a crucial time when Global Capability Centers (GCCs) are increasingly setting up operations in India, intensifying the competition for top-tier AI talent. The FLC aims to tackle the shortage of highly skilled AI professionals by creating a platform that connects the brightest minds to an exclusive community of top CXOs and industry experts from 40+ Fortune 500s as well as MAANG Companies.

The brand film is now live on YouTube, Instagram and LinkedIn.

It aims to give back to the society by partnering with prestigious institutions such as IITs, IIMs, and top universities in the United States, including Drexel University, Rutgers University, and the University at Buffalo, the Council seeks to develop a sustainable pipeline of AI leaders.

It will be integrated into the academic structure of IIT programs offered in collaboration with Futurense in fields like AI, Data Engineering etc. Students enrolled in these programs will benefit from exclusive mentorship, workshops, and masterclasses led by FLC members. This unique approach will help students crack high demand roles.

These sessions will be a part of all the Futurense programs and will offer students with essential insights into the latest trends in AI, data science, and other tech fields, while providing them with valuable networking opportunities.

“The members of the FLC will play an instrumental role in shaping India’s AI future. The current gap between industry needs and academic training is about 4-5 years, with academia struggling to keep up with industry developments,” explains Raghav Gupta, CEO and Founder of Futurense. “By introducing an FLC into our IIT’s partnered programs, we aim to address this as we leverage the expertise of industry leaders to design curriculum, mentor students, and provide real-world, hands-on training,” says Raghav.

MUMBAI, India , Nov. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Taiwan Excellence, global leader in sustainable manufacturing innovations released their first sustainable manufacturing campaign with actress Bhumi Pednekar as the face of the brand, to strengthen India’s vision of achieving net-zero by 2070 and reducing carbon emission of 1 billion ton by 2030. Bhumi is the obvious choice for Taiwan Excellence’s face since she is also India’s first National Advocate for UNDP for SDGs.

Commenting on the partnership, Vic Lin, official spokesperson for TAITRA (Taiwan External Trade Development Association), Mumbai said, “Industrial growth does not have to come at an environmental cost. There are ways to deal with reducing carbon footprint or creating a zero waste environment. We are happy to welcome Bhumi as our partner in our mission towards achieving sustainable industrialisation. Her passion for suatainability perfectly aligns with our values. Together, we can aim to inspire change, and sustainable innovation to combat climate change and build a greener, more sustainable world for future generations.”

Through the campaign, Taiwan Excellence seeks to invite collaboration at industrial partnership level, with a diverse range of manufacturing innovations created with the goal to reduce carbon emission, waste minimization and energy efficiency. The campaign’s messaging highlights how our planet is at a tipping point with climate change being a big crisis. Corrective action needs to be taken now, so that India’s net-zero dream is aligned with industry 4.0 in a more sustainable manner. Campaign’s focus areas for adopting excellence in environmental engineering are e-waste to cutting-edge machines, driving towards cleaner air by switching to EV and the use of green energy solutions across households. Advantech, Aver, Chimei Motor, Jumbo, Webcomm, Delta, Hiwin Mikrosystem and Transcend are some of the companies pioneering this change.

Commenting on the development, actress Bhumi Pednekar said “I am thrilled to be partnering with Taiwan Excellence as we work towards something so close to my heart – a net-zero emission world. SDGs are one of the biggest challenges we face today and this is the opportunity to rethink the way we use technology. I would like this campaign to be a call for action not just to individuals, but also corporations and industries, who can create larger impact by doing their bit to reduce carbon footprint and also look at collaborating with Taiwan Excellence for creative collaboration for sustainable industry solutions.”  

Taiwan Excellence has been on the forefront globally, making significant strides in reducing carbon footprints through innovative technology aiming to minimize waste, maximize resource efficiency, and promote sustainable development. Taiwan aims at achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050. Through these initiatives, Taiwan Excellence not only highlights the achievements of Taiwanese companies in sustainability and circular economy, but also sets a global benchmark for industries worldwide.
