Mr. Gupta quoted that disruptive technologies in the present era would create jobs and accelerate the growth of economies. He described various new technologies and business models like Blockchain, Bitcoin, Cloud, Internet Of Things, Mixed Reality, Robotic Automation and Artificial Intelligence. He pinpointed the various traits one needs to upskill, for being a part of the ever-advancing technological workforce. He derived that the fundamental equation for making the most of the academic journey was to ‘explore’ by being ‘mindful’ and ‘consistently’ ‘curious’ of the changes happening around us. After the lecture, Mr. Gupta answered many inquisitive queries, about evolutions in the era of the Industrial Revolution 4.0, which were put forth by both the senior and junior students.
