India will be USD 25 trillion power house by 2050: Gautam Adani at IIM Lucknow
Last Updated: Lucknow, Aug 7 (PTI) India will be a USD 25 trillion economic 'power house" by 2050 with the global centre of gravity shifting towards it, Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani said while addressing students at the Indian Institute of Management here on Thursday. The billionaire industrialist also told IIM Lucknow students that the future will belong to those who maximise possibility but never to those who play it safe. Speaking on the role of education in an age of artificial intelligence, algorithmic decision-making, and global uncertainty, Adani remarked, 'Frameworks that you study like DC model, Porter's five forces and a SWOT analysis have their place in the world of business but these are built on assumptions and hindsight. 'They teach you how to minimise risk but not maximise the future because the future will never belong to those who play it safe. It belongs to those who maximise possibility." Adani told the audience that their career timelines would align with India's most transformative decades. 'What I can state with confidence is that your most productive years will coincide with India's most powerful years. Your career and our country will rise together." 'You will not be looking at a five trillion or ten trillion dollar economy but you will be looking at an India that will be a 25 trillion dollar powerhouse by 2050. The global centre of gravity will shift and it will be towards you and towards India," he said. 'The first is demographic – we are the youngest, hungriest and most ambitious working population on the planet. A billion dreams ready to build," he said. 'The second is the demand. We are racing to become the third largest economy by 2030, not just by consuming but by creating markets for the world." He highlighted India's digital infrastructure as the third force. 'No country has built what we have like Aadhaar, UPI and ONDC. These are not just platforms but launch pads for inclusion, innovation and scale." 'And fourth is the domestic capital. For the first time in our history Indian money is backing Indian ideas with courage, conviction and an urgency that we have never seen." He told the gathering that shaping the future required imagination, risk-taking, and conviction. 'Maximising possibility means stepping into territory building before the market signals it is ready and trusting instincts when the data turns dry. Because that is how the future is shaped and not through predictions but through courage," he said. Referring to some of the Adani Group's challenging projects like those in Mundra, Dharavi and Australia, he added, 'These are not just acts of businesses but acts of imagination, of refusing to accept the world as it is and daring to see it as it could be." He urged the students to think beyond textbook frameworks. 'Business frameworks offer you a canvas pre-measured, pre-marked and safe. But India does not need more painters who fill in the blanks. It needs those who can question the canvas itself, those who can paint with colours not yet imagined. And this, right now, is your moment because India is the canvas that is standing in the age of something extraordinary." Urging students to root themselves in India's civilisational values, Adani said, 'While you may have studied books authored across the world but remember there is something deeper and something every Indian knows that no textbook can ever teach you." 'In a world fractured by war and torn by hunger for dominance, India stands tall by its restraint. Where others impose, India uplifts. Where others take, India gives. Quietly, consistently and with dignity. No nation can claim this moral high ground with the authenticity of India." 'And you, the children of our nation, must carry forward this responsibility. Learn from the world, yes. But never let the world define you. You are not just students of globalisation. You are the children of our civilisation," he said.

IIM Ranchi replaces mid-term exams with AI-driven business projects in major curriculum revamp
RANCHI: In a bid to provide future-ready education to students, the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Ranchi is all set to replace traditional hall-based mid-term examinations with AI-integrated business problem-solving projects in all courses. The initiative, called Working with AI (WAI), aims to bridge the gap between theoretical learning and practical, technology-driven business challenges, positioning the institute at the forefront of pedagogical innovation. The transformation builds upon IIM Ranchi's ongoing commitment to making its learning philosophy relevant to contemporary business challenges. Over the past academic cycle, the institution has systematically revamped its entire course structure, placing real-world business problem-solving at the centre of every curriculum component. "We have recognized that the traditional model of isolated theoretical learning was becoming increasingly disconnected from the dynamic needs of modern business,' said IIM-Ranchi Director Dr Deepak Srivastava, further adding, 'Our students needed to develop competencies that go beyond textbook knowledge – they need to work collaboratively with emerging technologies to solve complex business challenges.' According to Srivastava, the WAI initiative reflects a sophisticated understanding of how artificial intelligence is reshaping the business landscape. Rather than viewing AI as a disruptive force to be managed separately, IIM Ranchi has integrated it as a fundamental component of business education. Students are now required to demonstrate their ability to work alongside AI systems to develop innovative solutions for real business problems. This approach addresses a critical gap in traditional management education, where students often graduate with theoretical knowledge but lack practical experience in human-AI collaboration – a skill increasingly essential in today's workplace. The initiative goes beyond simply learning about AI to actually working with AI as a collaborative partner in problem-solving processes. By embedding AI collaboration into the assessment process itself, students develop these competencies organically rather than through isolated technology courses.

IIM Ranchi to replace hall-based mid-term exams with AI-integrated problem solving
In a major move, the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Ranchi has announced the replacement of traditional hall-based mid-term examinations with AI-integrated business problem-solving projects across all courses. The initiative, called Working with AI (WAI), aims to bridge the gap between theoretical learning and practical, technology-driven business challenges, positioning the institute at the forefront of pedagogical innovation, as per a statement by IIM-Ranchi. 'Traditional isolated theoretical learning is no longer aligned with the dynamic demands of modern businesses,' said Deepak Srivastava, Director, IIM Ranchi. 'Our students need to collaborate with emerging technologies to solve complex real-world problems. The WAI initiative makes AI a fundamental component of business education rather than a separate subject.' The director added that WAI addresses a critical shortcoming in conventional management education—where graduates often lack hands-on experience in human-AI collaboration, a skill increasingly vital in today's workplace.

'This approach ensures students develop AI competencies organically, not through isolated technology courses,' Srivastava said. While mid-term assessments will undergo this transformation, IIM Ranchi will retain traditional hall-based exams for end-term evaluations. 'We are not discarding traditional methods; we are building a balanced assessment system that values both academic knowledge and practical application,' said Gaurav Manohar Marathe, Chairperson, Student Engagement and Development Committee. 'This hybrid model nurtures analytical reasoning alongside technological fluency.'
