The Canada India Tech Council (CITC) successfully hosted CITC Connect, an exclusive event in Toronto on November 30, 2023, featuring a panel on "Creating a Culture of Innovation" within the tech industry. The event brought together 150+ Indo-Canadian technology leaders, and executives and featured a Thought Leadership Exchange, where panelists, Sanjay Tugnait, President & CEO at Fairfax Digital Services; Sanjeev Gill, AVP Innovation at University of Waterloo and Anu Dodda, CTO at Thomson Reuters; moderated by Kundan Joshi, CEO at TheAppLabb, delved into key topics such as cultivating a culture of innovation in organizations, adapting to the fast-paced evolution of emerging technologies, and the effective use of AI for revenue growth, cost efficiency and process optimization. The discussions also covered the critical balance between innovation and ROI, regulatory compliance, privacy, security, data ownership, and ethical considerations.
 
“In today's global landscape, innovation is not just a buzzword but a necessity. Digitization, Decarbonization, and Deglobalization are the key trends for Global innovation, today. Organizations are rapidly adopting innovation to enable revenue growth, cost optimization, and process improvements. In Canada, we're seeing a surge in AI-driven solutions across industries. Our recent work with AI demonstrates this transformative power, yet it also highlights the challenges we face in keeping pace with global innovation trends. It's a challenge we must embrace to stay at the forefront of technological advancement” – said Sanjay Tugnait. 
 
Sanjeev Gill said - “Creating a culture of innovation goes beyond just implementing new technologies; it's about fostering an environment where creative thinking and risk-taking are encouraged. We've cultivated this culture by empowering our teams, encouraging cross-functional collaboration, and maintaining an open-minded approach to new ideas. This culture is the bedrock upon which our innovative solutions are built."
 
“AI showcases not just the technological prowess but the real-world impact of these innovations" Anu Dodda, CTO at Thomson Reuters highlighted. “By integrating AI into our processes, we've not only streamlined operations but also unlocked new avenues for growth and customer engagement. It's a testament to how AI can be a game-changer in driving business success and delivering value to our clients.”
 
The event was further honored by the presence of Mr. Siddhartha Nath, Consul General of India, Toronto, who provided support for CITC, and valuable insights on the crucial need to strengthen the bonds between Canada and India within the technology industry. 
 
The gathering was not only a platform for sharing expertise and ideas but also an opportunity to foster meaningful relationships within the dynamic community. The relaxed and friendly atmosphere encouraged collaboration and conversation among the attendees. 

“Our event was a vibrant confluence of the tech community, embodying our commitment to giving back through this initiative. We've created a welcoming space where industry peers can share challenges, find solutions, and collaboratively brainstorm.
