AI has taken over more of hiring than anyone predicted two years ago, screening, sourcing, even early-stage decisions. This opening keynote answers the question every talent leader is now facing: as AI takes on more, what should stay human?
Drawing on real-time hiring data from across India's talent market, we'll look at where AI-driven hiring is actually working, where it's quietly costing companies their best candidates, and what the highest-performing organisations are doing differently, deliberately keeping human judgment in the moments that decide retention, quality of hire, and employer brand.
Join us for two days of learning, discovery, and The Human Advantage in action across Bengaluru and Mumbai. Limited seats are available.
