ASM HR Confluence 2.0, held on February 28, 2025, at ASM IBMR, Pune, brought together a dynamic lineup of top HR leaders, industry experts, and hiring managers to explore one of the most pressing topics of our time — the intersection of AI and human capital. Curated by NextGenInnov8 and DigitalHR, and hosted by ASM Group of Institutes, the event focused on how artificial intelligence is transforming industries such as management, technology, BFSI, and agribusiness, and what students and professionals must do to remain relevant in an increasingly automated world.

The central theme, “The Rise of AI & Human Capital – How to Stay Relevant in an Automated World,” sparked meaningful conversations around the future of work. Experts delved into the evolving nature of tasks, distinguishing between those that can be automated and those that still rely on uniquely human traits like creativity, emotional intelligence, and problem-solving. Attendees gained valuable insights on how to collaborate with AI rather than compete against it, as well as the importance of tech fluency, digital literacy, and lifelong learning in future-proofing their careers.

From the rising demand for micro-credentials and industry-recognized certifications to the shifting expectations of employers, ASM HR Confluence 2.0 provided a timely, forward-thinking platform that empowered students to understand, adapt to, and thrive in the AI-powered workforce of tomorrow.
