The Indian National Academy of Engineering (INAE), Gurgaon, an autonomous institute under the Department of Science & Technology, has launched a Webinar Series on topics encompassing all sectors and disciplines of engineering and technology.

The INAE Webinar Series is an important new initiative of the INAE Digital Platform. INAE is geared to host events on this platform for the benefit of the Fellows. They have planned to hold at least one Webinar every month, and if necessary, one every fortnight.

The first Webinar held on May 23, 2020, featured two talks, a launch lecture by Mr. K Ananth Krishnan, INAE fellow, EVP, and Chief Technology Officer, Tata Consultancy Service(TCS) and a technical talk on ‘Enterprise Digital Twin’ by Mr. Vinay Kulkarni, INAE Fellow, Chief Scientist, TCS Research. A total of 58 INAE Fellows from different locations participated in the first Webinar held on May 23, 2020. The next Webinar in the same series is scheduled on June 6, 2020 (Saturday).

It has been a long-cherished plan of the Academy to launch the Webinar Series in the year 2020. The major paradigm shift in work culture to mitigate the crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic makes the Webinar series more relevant while the world is learning to adapt to the digital mode as the ‘new normal.’
