Companies need to help employees reskill: Nilekani
Nilekani pointed out that with tech evolving so quickly, companies need to help employees reskill so they're ready for new roles.
He also warned against chasing "AI-led fake productivity," suggesting firms focus on real results by thinking from the ground up and not getting too attached to any one tool.
