From a focused internal dialogue to a global platform for action — ENRich has come a long way. Over 16 years, it has grown in scope, stature, and relevance, becoming a catalyst for conversations that matter. This year’s theme reflects a powerful truth:
Sustainability is no longer an aspiration – it’s a test of resilience
As India continues to lead global growth, driven by strong domestic demand and macroeconomic stability, the energy sector stands at a pivotal moment.
Looking ahead to 2030, the modern energy enterprise will be transformed – with AI at the core and GCCs as the engine of execution. Three priorities will define this transformation:
- Embed AI across the enterprise – from operations to decision-making
- Reimagine structures and operating models – with GCCs at the center
- Elevate culture and ways of working – because transformation is as much about people as it is about technology
GenAI becomes a copilot, not an autopilot. In the context of HR, leaders and professionals should define the purpose and ethical boundaries of AI use (setting intent), critically assess AI-generated recommendations (validating outputs), and remain accountable for the final decisions and their impact on people and culture (owning outcomes).
India stands at the cusp of an AI revolution and telecom industry will be its catalyst. We are rapidly advancing towards 5G-advanced and 6G on a global scale. The work being done by our telecom community in engineering these breakthroughs is absolutely essential, putting the industry front and center in this transformative revolution.
In these transformative times, Bharat is witnessing a surge of digital-native consumers with rising expectations for personalisation and seamless brand experience. AI is enabling companies to meet these demands through unprecedented levels of hyper-personalisation and intelligent operations from sensing and forecasting to real-time optimisation.
As consumer interactions shift to vernacular, AI-driven conversations through virtual assistants and influencers will redefine engagement. To thrive, businesses must embrace a consumer-first mindset, strengthen data and analytics, foster agile AI integration, and prioritise collaboration over isolation; balancing speed with strategic focus.
The global economic paradigm is changing as companies are under tremendous pressure from people across the world to account for the social impact of their businesses. Moreover, endless growth with profit as the sole metric is no longer sustainable. The consequences of social and environmental imbalance are mostly seen in the long term. If allowed to go unchecked, the disruption caused may cause a significant dip in growth and corporate valuations.

India’s tech ecosystem is uniquely positioned to leapfrog into the intelligent enterprise era, with 81% of technology firms planning to systematically integrate AI into their products and services within the next 12 months. The strategic integration of AI can redefine our global competitiveness, as 63% of enterprises are set to increase AI spending by more than 10% in the coming year.
However, realising AI’s full value requires a concerted effort - underscoring the importance of robust governance frameworks, talent development, and embedding AI into core business operations. Organisations that proactively embrace these imperatives will not only drive innovation but also set new benchmarks in delivering value and efficiency..
