Glimpse of Tara & Sitara – Robots at MBA Orientation Program 2024
“You are the future talent who will go into the market,” the voice of Ms. Sonia Nagpal, National Campus Strategy and Programmes Leader, Deloitte US-India, resonated during MBA 2024–26 batch orientation program. She further stated that human capabilities are essential to keep pace with the technological advancement, and gave the examples of Tara & Sitara, the two robots bought by Deloitte University, Hyderabad, recently. “Everybody was scared when these robots came to the office, as they felt their job was going to be at risk. On the contrary, Deloitte hired two professionals to manage Tara & Sitara. So the bottom line is when AI or ML takes over the World, there would be new jobs that would be created and as future leaders we should have that capability and move forward in that” concluded Ms. Nagpal.
