IIIT Hyderabad is shaping the future of engineering education in the AI era.

AI is forcing engineering colleges to move beyond rote learning toward deeper conceptual understanding, says Professor Sandeep Shukla, Director of International Institute of Information Technology Hyderabad (IIITH), in an interview with Archit Gupta of CNN-News18. As Generative AI and Agentic AI tools are changing how students learn and produce work, the focus must shift from rote memorization to conceptual understanding, hands-on application, and real-world problem solving.

Institutions like International Institute of Information Technology Hyderabad (IIITH) are reforming curriculum, evaluation and teaching based on research in such a way that students acquire not only knowledge of technical competence but also critical human skills. Starting with AI-enabled learning, transdisciplinary and industry collaborations, the objective is to create graduates who are not only job ready but also resilient and creative in the future.

Prof. Sandeep also emphazies how IIIT -H has increasingly become involved in national cybersecurity particularly through such projects as the Vyuha Labs. He highlights the institute’s research-focused academic structure and the significance of industry partnerships in curriculum development, innovation, and creating opportunities for students.

At Candour Communications, we’re proud to spotlight thought leadership and insights shaping India’s higher education and technology ecosystem.

AI is forcing engineering colleges to move beyond rote learning towards deeper conceptual understanding, says IIIT-H Director.

Yes! That's the sentence that kept running through our heads in 2025. Hype did get real.

People weren't just searching the same way. They weren't scrolling like before. Patience wore thin. They wanted answers. Instantly. Conversationally. Somewhere between January and December, finding those answers wasn't just Google's job. AI got actively involved.

For us at Candour, and for our clients in tech and engineering, this shift was massive.

Here’s the thing - AI doesn't rank you. It interprets you.

And if you haven't told your story comprehensively? It fills in the blanks. With whatever it finds. Or with what it assumes. Or however it hallucinates.

We felt this shift in every client conversation. The questions weren't just about "How do we get found?" It was also "What’s AI telling about us?"

So we moved beyond optimizing for visibility and started building for validity.
Not just keywords. Knowledge.
Not just rankings. Representation.
Not just traffic. Truth.

Because when AI speaks for your brand, you're not in the room.

2025 taught us that influence isn't just about mastering search engine algorithms anymore. It's about being so clear, so comprehensive, so genuinely substantive that there's no room left for misinterpretation.

The irony? To influence artificial intelligence, you have to be authentically intelligent.

That's what shaped us this year. Not wins. Not metrics. But a fundamental rethinking of what it means to tell a story worth repeating - especially when the one doing the repeating never met you.

Here's to more in 2026!

Tech in 2025 redefined what’s possible and set the stage for even bigger shifts in 2026. From Agentic AI moving into real enterprise use and autonomy becoming a business reality, to AI being embedded deeply into everyday systems. It also signalled how automation is beginning to free teams from routine tasks, enabling greater focus on higher-value, strategic work.

As we look to 2026, the conversation for technology leaders is shifting from “How fast can we adopt AI?” to “How do we embed it into core business operations with governance, security, and compliance?” The narrative is now about ex*****on, impact, and meaningful value delivery, not just innovation.

In this year-end industry conversation covered by Gadgets Now from The Times of India, experts reflect on how organisations can balance innovation with resilience, ethics, and business outcomes.

Our client Vivek Ganesh, Regional Vice President – India at OutSystems, shares his perspective on how Agentic AI went beyond experimentation to become a productivity multiplier, automating business tasks like data processing, customer query responses, and real-time issue resolution so teams can focus on higher-value, strategic work.

Thought leadership that drives meaningful conversations.

At Candour Communications, we are proud to support Neo4j in shaping the dialogue around ethical, transparent, and context-aware AI in India. In his latest TechCircle article, Ish Thukral , General Manager, SAARC and India - Neo4j explores how graph technology improves explainability and trust by making relationships easier to understand. This helps enterprises and public institutions uncover bias, strengthen accountability, and build AI systems people can rely on.

Equally important is the role of data context in building responsible AI systems. This approach will be critical as India scales AI adoption responsibly, ensuring innovation advances alongside trust.

The Brands2Life Global roundup takes a fascinating look at 2025’s “words of the year” from dictionaries across the world, showing how language is evolving in surprisingly similar ways everywhere.

No surprises - artificial intelligence dominates selections across regions. Collins in the UK chose “vibe coding”, using everyday language to guide AI into writing code. Chile shows similar tech-inspired terms implying AI's pervasive cultural shift. We do see digital frustration with Oxford highlighting “rage bait” (content designed to spark outrage for clicks), highlighting manipulative online content, with worries over AI fakes and toxicity.

We spotted other interesting words :) - “taskmasking” (pretending to be busy at work), “coolcation” (traveling north to escape the heat), and “digital slop” (the flood of low-quality content). Together, they paint a picture of climate adaptation, workplace fatigue, and online overload.

At Candour Communications Pvt LtdCandour Communications, our Word of the Year 2025 from India was "Agentic". We felt there is a shift toward systems and individuals acting with intent and independence - from self-improving models to empowered human interface in tech-driven decisions. ​ It embodies AI's evolution into autonomous agents and our own empowered mindset in a tech-led era.

Redefining Voice AI Deployment: CPU-Optimized, Enterprise-Ready, and Scalable

Ziroh Labs’ Kompact AI, in collaboration with CAMB.AI, is more than just another AI innovation. It represents a shift in how enterprises can deploy voice synthesis LLMs—moving from GPU-only setups to CPU-optimized, cost-effective solutions. It’s no longer just about bigger models, it’s about accessibility, sustainability, and practical impact.

Kompact AI enables production-grade models like MARS7 and BOLI to run on standard CPU hardware, reducing energy, cost, and dependency on GPUs—all while maintaining performance.

That’s significant because it shows AI adoption is evolving from resource-heavy experiments to solutions that deliver real-world value across education, healthcare, sports, and enterprise communications.

For organizations, it means AI deployment, performance, and reach are no longer secondary considerations—they are now central to strategy and impact.

Ziroh Labs and CAMB.AI, are enabling these transformations, turning cutting-edge research into enterprise-ready AI.

At Candour Communications, we’re proud to spotlight impactful collaborations—such as Ziroh Labs’ Kompact AI partnership with CAMB.AI—that are advancing India’s technology landscape.
