00:30How do you imagine TN 2025 like events help growing Tamil Nadu's economies and technological
00:51growth?
00:52Good.
00:53Events like this, I mean, firstly, I'm happy to be at an event like this.
00:56I'm very impressed with the scale of the event.
01:01And if Tamil Nadu is pulling this off, I think it's largely because of the vision of the
01:04IT minister that we have right now, right?
01:08Events like these are very important for every, you know, participant of the value chain,
01:14right?
01:15Right from that source of talent, colleges, schools, you know, schools, colleges.
01:20The startup ecosystem is also getting very warmed up to this kind of a concept where
01:25they're able to meet people, network, pick up talent, pick up ideas, and the venture
01:29capitalists.
01:30All stakeholders, I'm sorry, for all stakeholders like this, I think it's a very relevant event.
01:36Okay.
01:37And if you start doing this event at a larger scale going forward and looking at a more
01:41always on kind of a mode, I think TN could be on the map of Silicon Valley.
01:46So, even like this, how it create opportunities for a startup organization and well established
01:51organizations?
01:52So, any networking event for that matter helps in people getting ideas, getting contacts,
01:59connects.
02:00Yeah.
02:01So, this is not just another event, right?
02:03This is a specific event where there is a sizable involvement of the government, right?
02:07So, this adds a little more value to than a regular networking event that happens on
02:11a private scale, right?
02:13So now, just now, I think the minister has announced that he will do a more year-long
02:18event to a year-long activity to promote such things, right?
02:22So, very important for every stakeholder to part of it and now with the support of the
02:25government, I think this takes it to the next level.
02:27You can see a lot of youngsters and college students.
02:30How helpful for them are these kind of events?
02:33So, I was just at one of the panel discussions where we gave awards for hackathon event,
02:39right?
02:40And I was very impressed with the range and depth of topics that these kids have taken,
02:44right?
02:45And these are not small problems to solve.
02:47And I think they are thinking in the right direction.
02:49Okay.
02:50So, quite a few of them at JNAI, quite a few of them are trying to solve for real-world
02:54problems, right?
02:55And I think I am pretty happy with the way the talent is shaping up in Tamil Nadu, at
03:01least the talent that I have seen today, right?
03:03And this should serve as an inspiration for kids who have not made it here, right?
03:08And such events should happen more often.
03:10From your point of view, which skills are critical for future of tech ecosystem?
03:15See, I think people have been harping about a lot about the new gen technologies of JNAI,
03:22AI, right?
03:23And while I am not a doomsayer, I am sure JNAI would impact us in every way that we
03:31do business, right?
03:33And it would impact us in a very positive way for sure.
03:35It is about who jumps onto the bandwagon, who adopts themselves earlier will be successful.
03:42Finally, how is the event, how is the organizing going?
03:45Very nice event.
03:46I have been to quite a few events.
03:48This would be one of the top two, three events that I have attended, right?
03:52And happy to see the level and scale of which this event is going on, right?
03:57And I am sure more such events should happen in Tamil Nadu if we have to be on the map.
04:02Thank you, sir.
04:03Thank you so much, sir.
04:04Don't miss out.
