AI may not take your job. But it will change what your job demands from you.
As routine work becomes increasingly automated, the advantage will shift to people who can combine depth of expertise with the ability to work across functions, adapt quickly and apply technology with purpose.
In this episode of Nasscom Conversations, Priya Prabhu, HR Leader at Baker Tilly One India, joins Kavita Doshi, Head of Corporate Communications at Nasscom, to discuss what this transition means for careers and workplaces.
From building T-shaped skills to navigating feedback and career choices intentionally, the conversation examines three capabilities likely to define the next phase of work: digital and AI fluency, resilience, and adaptability.
Kishor Patil, Co-founder, CEO and Managing Director of KPIT Technologies Limited, and Chair of the Nasscom ER&D Council, outlines why India must reposition itself from being seen as an outsourcing destination to becoming a global innovation and R&D powerhouse.
He highlights three strategic priorities. First, building an innovation-led identity, supported by strong research enablement. Second, accelerating industry growth, where engineering R&D acts as a key driver across technology, manufacturing, and emerging sectors. Third, sustained talent development ensures that India builds deep, future-ready capabilities.
With a clear three-year roadmap under the Nasscom ER&D Council, the focus is on evangelizing R&D adoption across industries and strengthening India’s long-term competitiveness. Kishor Patil emphasizes that engineering R&D will not only shape the current decade but also potentially the next century, powering innovation across the entire economy.

We officially launched the Nasscom programme with a curtain-raiser at the Consulate General of India in New York, setting the tone for the journey ahead.
The event brought together investors, enterprise CXOs and ecosystem partners. Each participating deeptech startup had the opportunity to present its solution directly to investors and global decision-makers.
We are grateful to Ambassador Binaya S. Pradhan, Consul General of India in New York, for welcoming the delegation to the Consulate. Addressing the founders, he noted they were developing cutting-edge technologies and had arrived in the US at the right time. He spoke about opportunities across capital, customers, partnerships and university collaborations, as well as the growing scope for India–US cooperation in frontier technologies.
Ambassador Pradhan also spoke about the , established at the Consulate last year to bring Indian technology companies together. He noted that the industry’s contribution to US employment, tax revenues, economic growth, corporate America and public administration remains largely an untold story. The Forum provides a platform for the industry to work collectively on shared priorities, including advocacy.
Ravi Kuchibhotla, Chief Strategy Officer at Cognizant, shared the company’s continued commitment to partnering with, supporting and co-innovating with fast-scaling startups.
The evening also featured a fireside conversation between Wesley Mathews, Vice President of State Governmental Affairs at PSEG, and Kavita Doshi, Senior Director, Communications at Nasscom. Their discussion covered topics ranging from cross-border talent mobility to the future of smart, sustainable data centres.
A sincere thank you to the India in New York and all the participating founders, investors and leaders for making the curtain-raiser a success. The coming days will bring further opportunities for technology exchange, cross-border growth and strategic partnerships.
Is AI replacing entry-level jobs or changing what employers expect from new talent?
Rajesh Nambiar, President, Nasscom, examines how AI is transforming entry-level roles, hiring and workforce development. As traditional graduate roles evolve and new opportunities emerge, he highlights why employers will increasingly value a “learn-it-all” mindset over a “know-it-all” approach.
