Building an AI-Powered Workforce for an Inclusive Future

The world of work is evolving at an unprecedented pace, with Artificial Intelligence (AI) at the helm of this transformation. At Anudip Foundation, we are committed to ensuring that technology serves as an enabler for all, rather than a privilege for a select few. To reinforce this vision, we hosted “Reskilling for Tomorrow: AI & Workforce 2.0” on January 27, 2025, at Science City, Kolkata.
