This AI Appreciation Day 2025, we acknowledge the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence in redefining the future of work, learning, and innovation. As AI continues to evolve, so must our approach to education and skill development.
Mr. Sandip Weling, Chief Business Officer – Global Retail and Whole-time Director at Aptech Limited, shares his perspective on the need to foster AI-enabled mindsets and future-ready capabilities across creative-tech domains like animation, VFX, gaming, and emerging technologies.
In his words:
“One of the crucial professional opportunities of our era is not just building smarter machines, it’s building smarter, and more capable minds. Skilling or upskilling our workforce on adoption to AI is no longer about keeping up with change, it has become absolutely vital.
AI is not a single skill. It is a mindset, a way of thinking critically, solving problems creatively, and navigating complexity with confidence. At Aptech, we treat AI as Assistive Intelligence, not just artificial. True skill development in the AI era means fostering lifelong learners, who evolve with technology, adapt with agility, and remain resilient in the face of disruption.
It should also not be reduced to employability metrics alone. It’s about equipping individuals to ask better questions, explore new frontiers, and drive innovation in their communities. By integrating GenAI powered courses across our marquee training brands, we are focusing on equipping every learner with the skills to excel in today’s landscape, and shape the technologies that will define their world; thereby planting the seeds of the next generation of entrepreneurs, inventors, and changemakers.”
