On 31st July 2026, I had the privilege of attending the India Process Expo & Conference (IPEC) at HITEX, Hyderabad. It was an inspiring experience to engage with young entrepreneurs, industry leaders, and researchers who are shaping the future of industrial transformation.
The sessions on connected workforce, digital twins, AI-driven automation, and clean energy integration was great insights. What stood out was the collective emphasis on moving from observing events to controlling causes—a true paradigm shift in digitization and industrial strategy.
I particularly valued the discussions around:
Connected workforce – enabling collaboration through IIoT, AR/VR, and automation.
Smart factories – integrating robotics, predictive analytics, and cloud-edge computing.
Sustainability & ESG – embedding compliance and energy optimization into industrial ecosystems.
Bioenergy & clean fuels – redefining process clusters for a greener tomorrow.
Grateful to the organizers, speakers, and fellow participants for their efforts for this event. Events like these reaffirm the importance of co-creation between academia, industry, and technology innovators—a mission close to my heart at Desno Tectix.
Together, we are not just imagining the future of industries—we are building it
