The AI Impact Summit 2026 brought together leaders from technology and business to explore how artificial intelligence is transforming work and enterprise strategies. Among the standout voices was Sanjeev Bikhchandani, Founder and Executive Vice‑Chairman of InfoEdge, who delivered a compelling keynote on the critical need for professionals to proactively embrace AI.
Bikhchandani’s keynote revolved around the message: “If you don’t do AI, AI will be done to you.” He highlighted that the swift adoption of AI tools is reshaping job roles, productivity, and career growth, urging young professionals to actively learn and integrate AI into their workflows. Rather than seeing AI as a threat, he encouraged attendees to view it as an opportunity to enhance skills and capabilities.
“AI is here to boost productivity, not replace jobs,” Bikhchandani emphasised. “The real advantage comes from how quickly you adapt and leverage these technologies.”
He recommended a practical approach: focus on mastering a core set of AI tools—around 10–15, over the coming months. This ensures professionals remain relevant, competitive, and able to navigate an evolving technological landscape effectively. The session also examined AI’s impact on business operations. Companies adopting AI can optimize costs, streamline processes, and build scalable systems. The summit underscored that early AI adoption positions organizations for future innovation and leadership in their industries.
Overall, the AI Impact Summit 2026 reinforced a clear message for India’s workforce and enterprises: proactive engagement with AI, continuous learning, and practical application are essential in the modern digital era.
