“The evolution of the education sector, the impact of digitalization, and the ethical adoption of AI and technology in education” said Kumar Chandan Anand at DBEC Mumbai 2025
Q: Please tell me about the conclave and your journey in the education sector. How did you start, and what has been your inspiration?
A: You are asking about the journey, which has been very interesting. I have been seeing this education community for many years now and the way it has evolved, the way the dynamics of education have changed. During the unprecedented time, it has given a boost to adopt digitalization at a faster pace as it was going at a much slower pace earlier.
Three years earlier, the edtech sector has contributed a lot to this sector, and likewise, the education system has seen a lot of changes, a lot of resilience, and a lot of adaptability in terms of technology. Every day we are trying to hear a new terminology in education, let it be big data, IoT—now the buzzword is about artificial intelligence, then machine learning, and so many things.
In whatever ways you are trying to adopt technology, use it wisely. With the adoption of technology comes limitations, threats, and ethical concerns regarding digitalization. So, you have to be very apt in ensuring the adoption of digitalization in a very ethical way.
This is how we have been moving ahead, and the event is turning out to be very successful because of the kind of gathering we have seen since morning. It was a mix of corporate representatives, edtech players, startups, academicians, and educators who have represented the education fraternity from KG to PG. Not only regionally, but they have come nationally from all parts of the states to the city of Mumbai, Maharashtra.
We have been getting messages and good wishes from government dignitaries and the ministry, and likewise, it has helped us execute this event in the way we envisioned.
