What you need to know about the Pune Tech Scene

Once a far-out concept, AI is now a tangible force reshaping industries and economies worldwide. While its adoption will automate some roles, AI has created more jobs than it has displaced, with an expected 97 million new roles to be created in the coming years. This is especially true in cities like Pune, which is emerging as a hub for companies eager to leverage this technology to develop solutions that simplify and improve lives in sectors such as education, healthcare, finance, e-commerce and more.
