All India Management Association (AIMA) is an exclusive knowledge and execution partner in this journey towards sustainable growth of small and medium businesses. #Accelerate #SMEGrowth #JobCreation #AIMA #wadhwanifoundation
AIMA, in collaboration with the Wadhwani Foundation, organised the Inaugural Session of the SME Growth Accelerate Programme for the first cohort of 25 onboarded SME companies. The event, held at AIMA's Lajpat Nagar office, introduced the participating business owners to their mentoring team. The new cohort for SME Academy 2.0 was launched earlier this year in May, as part of the collaborative initiative. The 12-week training programme focuses on practical, engaging content that is directly relevant to the needs of SME owners and their key employees. Prof(Dr)Rohit Singh, Director, Centre for Management Education, AIMA, in his Welcome Address, introduced the programme to the participants, explaining its objectives and benefits. He emphasised the programme's focus on practical skills, strategic insights, and networking opportunities to support business growth and sustainability. Mr Meetul Patel, President, Wadhwani Entrepreneurship Network (WEN), highlighted the significant impact the collaboration could have on enhancing entrepreneurship. He explained that the training delves deep into effective business strategies while exploring the nuances essential for success in all areas of operations. He urged the participants to “actively engage” and adopt a proactive mindset to seize new opportunities for long-term success. Mr Kedar Pandya, Director, SME Programme, Wadhwani Foundation, presented an in-depth snapshot of the transformative 12-week journey, offering an overview of how participants would explore advanced topics on financial acumen, market positioning and leadership dynamics, ultimately being equipped to effectively navigate and expand their small and medium enterprises. An engaging session titled- ‘Know Your Cohort’ allowed CEOs and leadership teams to present their companies, highlighting their missions, products and USPs (unique selling points). The lively exchange encouraged collaboration and opened networking opportunities for the participants to connect over their challenges and shared growth ambitions. Consultant Psychiatrist, Corporate Trainer & Founder- Catalyst, Dr. Wilona Annunciation, led an engaging interactive session on ‘Vision to Reality: Strategic Goal Setting’ motivating participants to visualise their future business goals and develop actionable strategies to achieve them. She further provided valuable insights on forecasting their aspirational businesses, strategic planning and utilising the SMART criteria, a framework ensuring that the goals are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-bound, helping to clarify objectives and track progress. The event concluded with Dr. Sunil Abrol, SME Expert, President, Institute for Consultancy & Productivity Research, sharing key takeaways and encouraging participants to apply their learnings to drive business growth and innovation, inspiring a proactive approach in their entrepreneurial journeys. #SMEGrowthProgramme #AIMA #WadhwaniFoundation #Entrepreneurship

We are honored to have been part of the Panchayat Sammelan organised by the Ministry of Panchayati Raj on “Ease of Living: Enhancing Service Delivery at the Grassroots” at National Institute of Rural Development and Panchayati Raj (NIRDPR), Hyderabad on 22 October. Kamal Das, Dean, Wadhwani Center for Government Digital Transformation, shared insights as part of the panel discussion on how AI and emerging technologies can revolutionize citizen-centric services at the grassroots level. By leveraging digital public goods and MEITY’s BHASHINI, we can break language barriers and ensure accessible services for all. Together, we're building a more inclusive and digitally empowered India!

#Usecases "MGNREGA guarantees 100 days of work for every adult, but some citizens work over 100 days while others struggle to reach 20. With BHASHINI, we can set up a local language voice call system to prioritize job alerts for those with fewer workdays. Just press 1 to sign up or 2 to opt out. This simple solution can create a fairer job allocation system, leveraging existing technology from NIC and BHASHINI."

Advancing AI in Odisha: A Step Forward for Digital Transformation On October 19th, I had the pleasure of participating in the State-level Workshop on Advancing AI in Odisha. Experts and leaders from different sectors came together to explore how AI can make our governance smarter and more responsive in this insightful session. In this workshop, we introduced Wadhwani Foundation’s courses on AI and all the other Emerging Technologies, designed to help our bureaucrats to adopt new and emerging technologies for accelerating digital transformation. These courses are meant to be practical and relevant, providing the tools to make real changes in areas like improving public services, speeding up processes, and using data to make better decisions. Key takeaways from the presentation: AI for Data-Driven Governance: Changing the way we look at data, leading to more informed and smarter policymaking. Improving Public Services: AI-powered tools to help citizens get information and services in local languages. Ethical AI Deployment: Addressing workforce concerns, to ensure responsible AI implementation and maintain public trust. Global Competitiveness: AI readiness to allow bureaucrats drive innovation and economic growth at a faster pace. The Odisha government is doing something great by working on its own AI policy, and I’m excited to be part of this journey. I believe it’s a step in the right direction, and I’m eager to see how we can all contribute to making AI a positive force for change in the coming days. #AIforGovernance #DigitalTransformation #AI4Odisha #PublicSectorInnovation #WadhwaniFoundation #WGDT
