The event focused on the challenges and strategies in talent acquisition, workplace readiness, and the integration of technology into HR practices.
Key dignitaries including Mr. Narinder Ahluwalia (EVP, Covalience), Mr. Debashish Ghosh (Sr. VP, Berkadia), and Prof. Rajendra Kumar Sharma (Vice Chancellor, JUIT), along with senior JUIT faculty and staff, inaugurated the event with a traditional lamp-lighting ceremony.
