Dipali Goenka on AI and Tariffs

Dipali Goenka, the CEO of Welspun Living, talked about how tariffs and artificial intelligence (AI) are changing businesses around the world.

She said that supply chains are no longer simple and predictable but are now global, dynamic, and agile.

Goenka explained that Welspun Living uses AI to predict what customers want, understand their behavior, and make their supply chain work better.

For example, AI helps count towels automatically, which makes the workers less tired and improves efficiency.

She also mentioned that AI helps reduce the amount of inventory needed and makes workers more productive.

Despite concerns about job losses, Goenka believes that AI is actually helping economies stay strong, even with higher import duties.
