Plenary Track – Fireside Chat | The Unbound Decade: India’s Pivotal Role in Shaping Global Inclusion Narrative As technology redraws global power maps, India stands at a defining crossroads. This opening fireside chat explores how the next decade could position India not only as a digital powerhouse, but as a global architect of inclusion, innovation, and equitable growth. In conversation with Brenda Darden Wilkerson, Sirisha Voruganti reflects on her journey across research, engineering, financial services, and large scale technology leadership. The discussion will examine how India’s talent ecosystem, enterprise leadership, and policy momentum can influence global inclusion narratives across industries. The session will unpack what it takes to lead at the intersection of innovation and impact, how organizations can embed inclusion into strategy rather than treat it as an initiative, and why this decade presents a rare opportunity for India to shape technology with purpose. Expect a forward looking dialogue on leadership, responsibility, and the bold choices required to build systems that are not only scalable, but equitable by design.
