At IMC Foundation Day, Leaders Urge AI-Led Business Transformation

The IMC Chamber of Commerce and Industry celebrated 120 years of supporting Indian business.

Arundhati Bhattacharya said companies need to use digital tools and artificial intelligence wisely.

She said businesses must organise their data so AI can give trustworthy answers.

Leaders should also decide how people and AI can work together.

Companies should move from small AI experiments to larger changes.

Bhattacharya said AI can help businesses find new markets and serve more people.

She also said AI should create opportunities instead of simply removing jobs.

IMC leaders said technology, skills, finance, and strong infrastructure are important for building a developed India.
