MSME startup conclave at RTIH unveils AI innovation framework
A special meeting called a conclave was held at the Ratan Tata Innovation Hub in Anantapur on Saturday.
The meeting was organized together with a university and a bank to help small businesses.
Leaders talked about how smart computers, called artificial intelligence, can help local industries.
The head of the hub, Dr R Hafeez Basha, shared a three-step plan: find a problem, make an idea, and put the idea to work.
Helpers from government groups and a bank promised to support business owners with money and permissions.
Almost 100 small business leaders came to the meeting to learn how to grow.
The goal is to help young people start their own businesses instead of only looking for jobs.
This shows how teamwork between schools, banks, and industries can make businesses stronger.
