The inaugural day of the 5th edition of Future of Work 2022 got off to a rousing start, with the best minds in technology, product, and design coming together to deliberate upon the current trends of the ‘new normal’ of work, and turn them into actionable insights. 

The momentum is set to continue on the second and the final day which promises to notch up the learning and brainstorming factor with a slew of incredible speakers sharing their thoughts on changing market dynamics, hybrid workplaces, human-machine collaborations, upskilling the tech talent for making them future ready, and their priorities in 2022.  

Fireside chats with leading CTOs and business leaders

The day will kickstart with a fireside chat with Prashant Malik, Co-creator, Apache Cassandra. The dynamic leader, who is responsible for building one of the biggest NoSQL database management systems— Cassandra— used by tech giants from Silicon Valley, will talk about the changing dynamics of big data and his venture into Web3. 

Top CTOs from the industry — Sanjeev Barnwal (Meesho), Deep Ganatra (The Good Glamm Group), Amit Dixit (Zolo), Mohit Malik (Chaayos), Gaurav Asthana (Gramophone), Puneet Gupta (HomeLane)— will unravel the rising trends in their respective sectors, new and changing strategies adopted by them as CTOs, new tech tools on the block, challenges ahead and their individual priorities as tech leaders in the dynamic future.

Also on the agenda is a rather interesting talk with Ronak Shah, Head of Data Sciences and Engineering, Apna, on ‘How AI and tech can be leveraged in today's gig economy’.

A more detailed view on emerging technologies in shaping the future of work will be presented by Dipyaman Sanyal, Head of Academics & Learning, Hero Vired.
