When enquired about what the CIOs think about the current
business trends, like hybrid workforce and evolving business
models, Jasmine Gorimar said, “There are a lot of possibilities in
different scenarios, but generalizing that hybrid works
everywhere may not be the right answer.”

Udit Pahwa also shared his views on cybersecurity measures.
“Along with the pandemic, the Industry 4.0, IoT, and the 5G
coming up, it is going to be a bigger challenge on the security
front. We will need all the support from OEMs and business
partners in this," he said.

Elaborating further on the same issue, Mukul Gupta said, “Cyber

attacks are no more the concern of major corporates only. Even mid
and small-sized companies must prepare for cybersecurity
mitigation with the right approach.”

On being asked about technology trends of 2022, most panelists
agreed that cybersecurity would take the centre stage, while new
trends like upskilling, automation, and business approaches like

human empathy, will gain priority.
The session ended on a fun note, with NK Mehta asking the panelists
to share what offbeat app they would want for themselves that

could solve their quirky problems, which garnered some interesting
and fun replies.
