What’s the best way to start a Monday? A sales meeting, of course! But not just any sales meeting—this one was fueled by insights, innovation, and an Indian breakfast that stole the show.
Our management team, including Ms. Carol Dominguez, Ms. Grace Sorongon, Roger Santos, and Carlo Lao, returned from the NASSCOM Technology & Leadership Forum 2025 in Mumbai with a wealth of knowledge. And because knowledge-sharing is best enjoyed with good food, the #JCCI-EDI team embraced the moment—draped in traditional Indian attire while indulging in masala dosa, vada, idli, and, of course, masala chai. Talk about a feast for both the brain and the taste buds!
Key Takeaways: Tech, Talent & The Future
Over two days (February 24-25), industry leaders dissected the ever-evolving tech landscape. Here’s what stuck with us (besides the lingering spice from the sambar.
🔹 Consumers are Changing Fast – Younger, tech-savvy buyers crave authenticity, personalization, and peer-driven recommendations. Translation? AI-driven strategies + human touch = success.
🔹 AI + Data = Goldmine – Businesses leveraging AI and analytics can predict trends, optimize pricing, and craft hyper-personalized customer experiences.
🔹 AI is a Co-Pilot, Not the Captain – Yes, AI enhances efficiency, but human creativity, empathy, and judgment are irreplaceable. (Your job is safe… for now.)
🔹 Workforce Evolution – Generative AI is reshaping roles, making continuous learning and adaptation non-negotiable. Stay curious, stay relevant!

Too Much Info, Too Little Time?
If all of that sounds like a lot—trust me, it was! Our “sales meeting” ran from 8 AM to almost 2 PM, with enough insights to make our heads spin. And because my ADD brain only retained so much, I distinctly remember a bot singing an AI-themed version of Imagine. (Who knew AI had a sense of humor?)
At the end of the day, we walked away inspired, informed, and incredibly full. Huge thanks to our leadership team for bringing NASSCOM 2025 to us—minus the stress of running from one session to the next. I could never! Now, if only we could have another round of masala chai…
