A note from the president

Pune is at the forefront of a transformative journey, from being a thriving hub of product and services companies to becoming a global epicenter for innovation, especially in the era of Artificial Intelligence. During this time of uncertainty where clarity of AI Business Models, Go to Market Strategies and changing People deployment dynamics are putting leaders under stress, SEAP intends to bring together the best minds to tackle this heads on. As we navigate this exciting time, SEAP remains committed to energizing the Pune technology ecosystem, amplifying the voice of our tech community, supporting the social and environmental work in Pune, and ensuring we stay forward-looking.
