The session started with a lamp-lighting ceremony. The resource person introduced the topic by giving details regarding digital transformation, and he highlighted that there are three stages of digital transformation, i.e. first - Digitization – “fixing the past”, second - Digitalization “focusing on the present,” and lastly – Digital Transformation – “creating the future." Further, he highlighted how India has to evolve and transform itself digitally and create future job avenues for the upcoming youth. He said that India still has to gather more peace and momentum to accomplish the goal of digital transformation, as the level of digitalization will affect employment. He shared the research by the ITU International Telecommunication Union, UN Agency and discussed the readiness of digital transformation in emerging economies, in which India is showing moderate possibilities. He highlighted that good governance and collaborative governance are the two main essentials for the digital transformation of India, which will further improve the entrepreneurship level in India. He said India, being a member of the ASEAN Region, stands out as one of the advanced regions, achieving an overall unified framework score of 57% vs. South Asia's 43%. Discussing the World Bank Group global digital economy framework, he explained emerging digital opportunities and challenges. We’ll provide new dimensions for the digital economy, which include digital infrastructure, digital public platforms, digital financial services, digital businesses, digital skills, and a trust environment. This will ensure a better platform and ecosystem for entrepreneurship. He also discussed the entrepreneurship skills that are much needed by youth in the current digital era. Further, he added that digital transformation is a key process that will boost entrepreneurship by not only enhancing digital employability but also physical employability.
