Business Standard Webinars

We are approaching the first anniversary of the Prime Minister announcing the launch of Mission Sudarshan Chakra in his Independence Day address. The initiative aims to establish an expansive missile and air defence shield by 2035.

 

What are the technological challenges involved, and can India overcome them with homegrown solutions? How has Operation Sindoor informed the mission? More than a year after the operation, how is India placed in defending its airspace?

 

This webinar examines these questions and attempts to take stock of where we stand, and how far we still have to go, in pursuit of this mission.

Global tech majors are increasingly looking at Indian cities to set up their data centres. Already, India figures in the top 10 international list, coinciding with the exponential rise in demand for processing artificial intelligence (AI) datasets. With ambitious growth projections and tax sops by the government, India could well become the data centre capital of the world in the coming years.

 

Is India going to be a data centre destination because of its real estate prowess? How will we meet the  huge demand for power and water at these data centres? Will India have a tech and R&D advantage in all this? What is India’s gain, and what are the challenges it might face in a journey that has just begun? Experts will share their views on this very pertinent subject at the Business Standard webinar this week.

The West Asia crisis has been a reality check for India’s oil exploration scene. With its heavy dependence on imported crude oil and natural gas, the country has been at the receiving end of the global supply shocks during the war. As geopolitics turns increasingly volatile, the need to intensify exploration of domestic oil reserves is a priority for India, more than ever before.

 

What is India’s goal on oil exploration? What needs to be fixed? What are the challenges on the way? To discuss these issues and more, we have a powerful panel of experts.
