‘The Road Ahead 2.0’ and the first AI lab in the region at S-Vyasa University

BENGALURU, India, Feb. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — In a landmark initiative to foster the adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in higher education, S-Vyasa Deemed to be University hosted a prestigious event.

The event hosted at S-Vyasa University under their eminent president and scholar Padma Shree, Dr. H. R. Nagendra was graced by Prof. T.G. Sitharam, Chairman of the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), whose declaration of 2025 as the ‘Mahakumbh of AI’ for higher education institutions has set the stage for transformative educational advancements across India.

Three key highlights of the event were 1. Fire starting AICTE Dialogues on *AI of AI *Adoption Imperatives of AI, 2. The release of two volumes of a book titled The Road Ahead 2.0. and 3. Announcement of setting up a first of its kind AI lab at the S Vyasa University.

The Road Ahead 2.0 is a first of its kind seminal work on AI authored by eminent Prof. T G Sitharam and Co-authored by Yogi Kochhar a celebrity happiness savant, a technocrat and an AI evangelist.

This has been inspired by Bill Gates’s original work ‘The Road Ahead’ penned over 30 years ago as he was ushering in his software mounted on CPUs and maps the transition from CPUs to GPUs.

Described by Dr. H R Nagendra as “profound and clairvoyant work offering insights into the fast-evolving human, socio economic, industrial, scientific and educational ecosystem impacted by AI,” the book navigates across 80+ chapters in two volumes over 750+ pages as it provides a visionary roadmap touching each enterprise and activity highlighting the need to acknowledge, accept and adapt to this tectonic shift.

The narrative is simple and has stories and analogies making the entire experience very immersive and fascinating.

Speaking of the event, Dr H R Nagendra, Chancellor S-Vyasa University, has remarked, “This gathering will serve as a critical platform for meaningful dialogue on the future of education in India, driven by AI adoption. We are honored to host AICTE’s Chairman and support his vision for AI’s integration into higher education through fire starting a nationwide dialogue on the Adoption Imperatives of AI. On this day we are announcing the setting up of a unique first of its kind AI lab in this region that has been curated by eminent engineers from Stanford University.“

Prof Sitharam held forth for the mission of AI that AICTE has taken at hand using a Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve and Control (DMAIC) mechanism to prepare the higher ed infrastructure.

He said, “The future of AI in India is not just about automation but about augmentation—empowering industries, enhancing human potential, and transforming the landscape of innovation. As AI integrates with India’s vast talent pool, huge public digital infrastructure, and digital revolution, it will redefine how the nation educates, governs, grows, and becomes vikasit Bharat @2047.“ He added, “Siloed labs in civil, electrical, and mechanical domains are like the limbs of a human being and are already redundant without repurposing these. An AI lab synthesizes these disciplines, offering a unified system metaphorically speaking, like a human being where true innovation can thrive. This is an imperative to ride the AI wave or be sunk under it.“

Yogi Kochhar the co-author of the book, ‘The Road Ahead 2.0’ shed extensive light on the metaphorical genetic mutation through AI across 80+ domains ranging from UNSDGs, Quantum mechanics, Nano technology, medicine, agriculture, aeronautics, education at one hand and small businesses such as manufacturing, hotels, market places, e-commerce and even health clubs and beauty salons on the other.

He said, “AI is now both sentient and sapient. It has developed feelings of its own and the intelligence too that exceeds human intelligence. The book offers a road map to deal with this.“

S-Vyasa University announced setting up of a cutting-edge AI lab, the first of its kind in the region curated by a team from Stanford University and eminent industry leaders.

SPJIMR holds Annual Convocation 2025 with HUL’s Nitin Paranjpe as Chief Guest

802 graduates embark on a journey to lead with integrity, passion, and a growth mindset

MUMBAI, India, May 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan’s S.P. Jain Institute of Management and Research, one of India’s leading business schools, hosted its Annual Convocation 2025 at its Mumbai campus on Saturday, 17 May. The event celebrated the achievements of over 800 graduating participants from across the Institute’s full-time and modular postgraduate programmes, including two (2) Fellow Programme in Management (FPM) scholars.

The Convocation was graced by Mr. Nitin Paranjpe, Non-Executive Chairman of Hindustan Unilever, as Chief Guest. Also, present were Mr. Deepak Parekh, Chair of SPJIMR’s Governing Council; Dr. Varun Nagaraj, Dean, SPJIMR; faculty and staff; and family members of the graduating participants.

Delivering the Convocation Address, Mr. Nitin Paranjpe drew upon his decades of global business experience to urge the graduating cohort to lead with purpose, resilience, and a commitment to continuous growth. Speaking of India’s bold aspiration to become a Viksit Bharat by 2047, he highlighted the need for a new kind of leadership—one that is ethical, compassionate, and driven by the common good.

Mr. Paranjpe shared three powerful life lessons drawn from his personal and professional journey: “There’s no such thing as a good job or a bad one — it’s the mindset you bring that shapes your experience. The real joy, and the foundation for excellence, lies in loving what you do. Don’t chase being the best in the world — strive to be the best version of yourself. Continuous self-improvement is your right, your responsibility, and your greatest opportunity. Purpose is that inner force that fuels your energy and passion. When you find what truly drives you, hold on to it — it’s the most precious gift you’ll ever have.”

In his address, Dean Dr. Varun Nagaraj shared a candid reflection on the challenges graduates face in an uncertain world—geopolitical tensions and the dual promise and peril of AI. He urged them to enter this complex landscape with confidence, guided by SPJIMR’s mission of value-based growth and wise innovation.

He reaffirmed SPJIMR’s commitment to nurturing leaders who combine knowledge with empathy and impact with purpose: “Tomorrow you will be a different and better person than today. Embrace a growth mindset—remember, you are a work in progress, not a finished product. The world offers no ready-made answers; solutions come only through hard work and wise innovation.”

Sixteen (16) top achievers across programmes were presented with Scholastic Medals by Chief Guest Mr. Nitin Paranjape, and 50 recipients from the Dean’s Honour List received their commendation certificates from the Dean. 

Diplomas were conferred across the Institute’s full-time and modular programmes, including the Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM), Post Graduate Programme in Management (PGPM), PGDM (Business Management), Post Graduate Executive Management Programme (PGEMP), Post Graduate Programme in Development Management (PGPDM), Post Graduate Programme in General Management (PGPGM), and Post Graduate Programme in Marketing & Business Management (PGPMBM).

The Convocation ceremony concluded with the traditional hat throw, celebrating the graduates’ journey and the beginning of their next chapter as responsible, value-based leaders.
