Session 1:
Industry, Research & User Symposium
31st IEEE International Conference on High Performance Computing, Data, & Analytics
🚀 IRUS Session 1
Title : AI Advancements in GCCs and Start-ups
When : December 19, 2024, 1:30 PM – 3:30 PM at Robusta
This year’s HiPC continues our highly sought-after Industry Research User Symposium (IRUS) with an exciting spotlight on “AI Advancements in Global Capability Centres (GCCs) and Start-ups.”
GCCs as Technological Nerve Centres: Over the past years, several multinational enterprises have set up GCC operations in India, transforming them into technological nerve centres that support business operations worldwide. Today, GCCs in India are pivotal in the global innovation ecosystem, evolving into Centres of Excellence (CoEs) that contribute significantly to the competitive edge of global enterprises. These centres are involved in end-to-end product development, advanced research, and strategic decision-making processes.
Indian Start-ups Revolutionizing Innovation: Indian start-ups have dramatically revolutionized technological innovation across various sectors, showcasing an impressive blend of creativity and resilience. In the ecommerce domain, companies like Flipkart and Myntra have redefined shopping experiences with vast selections and seamless logistics. The fintech revolution, led by trailblazers like PhonePe and Razorpay, has made digital payments ubiquitous, enhancing financial inclusion and transforming transactions. Healthcare has also seen groundbreaking advancements with startups like Practo and CureFit, leveraging technology to provide telemedicine, personalized health plans, and innovative fitness solutions.
Session Highlights: This session will feature an eminent panel of speakers from both these worlds, discussing how AI is unleashing unprecedented growth opportunities in their respective sectors. The session is a must-attend for all AI practitioners, students, and the academic community eager to learn and contribute to the industry AI community.
