The industry expert lecture by Ms. Anjana Hariharan to the SJIM, PGDM students dealt with
the topic “Talent Management in the Age of AI.” The aim of the lecture was to incorporate
the latest market trends in the pedagogy and prepare students to adapt to changing
requirements. We took a step closer to this goal with the enlightening presence of Ms.
Anajana Hariharan. She introduced the use case of AI in HR transformation, particularly in
talent management, and shared findings from various studies, including those by the IBM
Institute of Business Value to demystify AI concepts for students. She took a personal
interest in addressing every student’s doubt and concern about future prospects, and left them
with a list of crucial skills needed for future work scenarios.
