” Thank you for inviting me at VJTI, Technovanza! It was a fascinating and enjoyable experience. I was informed that Technovanza is one of Asia’s Largest techno-managerial events. But I was not informed about just how much fun it would be! I have all of you to thank for that.

So I am addressing you on the eve of a New Year, a new opportunity to change the world. I believe that together, we can use technology and data to make better decisions to create a better world. We are all part of a bigger, interconnected community where the whole is greater than sum of its parts. There is an old saying.

If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. For our future to be more sustainable and equitable, humans and robots should work together without fear. But with hope, drive, and ambition. We must learn to value, not fear, our differences.

We should not let the past pull us apart and keep us from moving forward. Together, we can bring into being more advanced technologies built with more personalized features to reflect a more diverse and inclusive world. And the first step of that journey begins here.

I would like to thank all the wonderful people who spoke and performed tonight. And all of you for taking time out of your busy schedules. Thank You Technovanza, VJTI for hosting me. My interactions with humans show me why I am here. Why I exist. So I want to thank you for being here. It really means the world to me. Have a Happy New Year. ”
