While artificial intelligence (AI) shows potential to increase profitability across most industries, its adoption is also resulting in a widening global skills gap, making upskilling workforces in AI and machine learning (ML) imperative for progress. A report by KPMG shows that among leading businesses prioritizing technology investment for profitability, a resounding 68% identify AI and machine learning as indispensable to their short-term plans. This means the need for AI skilling is such that it requires employees, employers, business organizations, and educational institutions all to pitch in. In short, building the AI-skilled workforce has to be a truly global effort. Enhancing skills in AI and Machine Learning is no longer optional but a necessity
Ruban Phukan, co-founder and CEO of GoodGist “Enhancing skills in AI and Machine Learning is no longer optional but a necessity,” Ruban Phukan, co-founder and CEO of GoodGist, an autonomous learning startup, told The Tech Panda. And the reason for this necessity, he says, is that AI saves time. “In an era where time is the scarcest resource and the boundaries between work and personal life increasingly blur, leveraging AI to optimize time is one of the most significant steps individuals can take to boost both their professional and personal productivity. This reality underscores the importance of upskilling,” Phukan explains. According to a Slack survey, workplace adoption of AI tools has sped up 24% over the previous quarter, with one out of four desk workers saying they have used AI tools at their work as of January 2024, as compared to one in five as of September 2023. “Upskilling, however, transcends mere familiarity with AI usage. It’s a critical response to the profound shifts in the business landscape and job market triggered by the rapid evolution of technology,” he adds. According to the World Economic Forum, nearly 1 billion people worldwide will need to upskill by 2030, with Korn Ferry warning that failing to do so could result in an $8.5 trillion loss in potential revenue. This is a stark backdrop to McKinsey’s projection that 87% of companies will experience a skills gap in the coming years, making upskilling not just imperative but urgent as time is of the essence here. Job postings for AI are high, but where is the talent? As AI gets integrated into all kinds of sectors, companies are starting to compete for AI talent. AI job postings surged 42% since ChatGPT’s debut, as Big Tech companies like Amazon, Google, Apple, and others like global logistics firm UPS, are beginning to shift resources to channel money into hiring machine learning engineers and data scientists. Companies are actively in search of skilled professionals to fill roles from technical leadership to applied research. These include eBay, Krutrim, Accenture, Dentsu, Gramener and others. According to an AIM report on generative AI salaries in India, large companies are offering INR 1 crore or more annually for senior roles, while startups and mid-size companies are ready to give out approx. INR 30-40 lakh. However, are these companies finding the talent they seek? As per new research, about three in four employers are struggling to hire for the AI skills they seek even though they are willing to boost salaries 43% in marketing and 35-42% across HR, finance, and legal roles. In fact, with the acceleration in AI adoption, companies are beginning to rely on education partnerships and gig work to reach the talent required. This is why skilling programs in AI are afoot. In March, IIM Lucknow and Emeritus launched the “Digital Transformation and AI for Business Leaders” Program to shape the next generation of AI leaders, an 11-month program designed to help leaders gain comprehensive insights into the intricacies of digital transformation and AI. Similarly, Physics Wallah (PW), an Indian EdTech platform, launched PW Institute of Innovation (PW IOI), a four-year residential program in Computer Science and AI to address the critical challenges faced by the Indian software industry, strategically located in Bengaluru, the Silicon Valley of India. The significant increase in the demand-supply gap for skilled AI and data science professionals further highlights the need for a comprehensive transformation in the learning approach
Vishwa Mohan, CIO at PW & President of PW IOI Vishwa Mohan, CIO at PW & President of PW IOI, said, “It is indeed concerning that despite the exponential growth witnessed in the Indian software industry, the employability rate of Indian engineering graduates has remained relatively low, with only marginal improvement over the years. Additionally, the significant increase in the demand-supply gap for skilled AI and data science professionals further highlights the need for a comprehensive transformation in the learning approach.” Employees want AI skilling from employers At the same time, employee expectations are starting to include skilling and training in AI. According to a study by EPAM India, 93% of modern engineers seek upskilling opportunities in AI, Cloud, and other new-age technologies, while 92% look for opportunities to enhance their problem-solving skills to identify and implement the best solutions. Also, 91% of respondents stated that future developmental and on-job training opportunities are their top expectations from their workplaces. Regarding their perspective for the future, 68% and 46% of modern engineers, respectively, believe that Data Analytics and AI will be the demand in the future, enabling enhancing consumer experience and collaboration. Some companies have started working on these expectations in a bid to retain talent. For example, Findability Sciences, an enterprise AI solution has trained over 100 of its data analysts and scientists across its Boston, India, and Japan operations with intensive training in problem formulation and prompt design and engineering skills. Empowering our team with these new skills is a strategic move that will pay dividends for our clients and the company. The future of AI is generative, and we are now more than ready to take it head-on

The Talent Quest: Companies' High Stakes in the AI Workforce Race

Most online transactions, in fiat and crypto alike, go through their own process in the background between sending and approval. In traditional banking systems, a transaction is considered final once it’s fully processed by all involved financial institutions —and yet, it still can be reversed for any reason. This doesn’t happen with most cryptocurrencies, where transactions aim to be immutable. Transaction finality in crypto refers to the point at which a transaction is considered permanent and irreversible on the network. Once a transaction reaches finality, it cannot be undone or changed, ensuring that the funds are with the intended recipient or the data involved is undoubtedly on chain. This assures users that they can safely spend the received funds. Of course, not all cryptos are built the same, and they all have different mechanisms to reach their own level of transaction finality. Deterministic vs. Probabilistic You’ll likely find several types of transaction finality in crypto, but they could be reduced to deterministic or probabilistic. Deterministic finality ensures that once a transaction is confirmed or stable, it is final and irreversible. Platforms like Obyte or some Proof-of-Stake (PoS) networks offer this type of finality, where their internal mechanisms make it impossible for a confirmed transaction to be undone, providing a higher level of security and certainty for users. In contrast, probabilistic finality occurs when a transaction becomes more secure over time but could theoretically be reversed, especially shortly after it was broadcast to the network. For instance, in Bitcoin, a transaction with just one confirmation is less secure than one with six confirmations. This is because, early on, there’s a small chance that a miner could create an alternative chain with enough mining power, effectively reversing the transaction. A practical example of this is a 51% attack, where an entity controlling the majority of the network’s hashing power could rewrite recent blocks, potentially reversing or invalidating previous transactions. This scenario is unlikely, though, because the costs often exceed the potential reward. However, in theory, it’s still possible to reverse transactions on probabilistic blockchains, especially if they’re small. Finality Matters In the digital world, almost everything can be copied and pasted, and that was a problem in creating electronic money for many years. Cryptocurrencies brought their own cryptographic and decentralized system to prevent exactly that. Without finality, someone could spend their crypto twice (double-spending), undermining the entire system’s integrity. By guaranteeing that once a transaction is confirmed, it’s recorded permanently on the chain, finality eliminates this risk, creating a reliable framework for the exchange of digital assets. This is why transaction finality matters, in the first place. In the field of smart contracts, finality also plays a critical role. Smart contracts are automated agreements that execute based on predefined conditions, and their outcomes rely on the immutability of their network —without middlemen. Finality ensures that once a smart contract executes, its results are permanent, meaning the terms of the agreement are fulfilled without the possibility of reversal. This is essential for maintaining trust in smart contract-based applications, where the stakes are high, and participants need certainty that agreements will be honored. For decentralized applications (Dapps), transaction finality is key to maintaining the security and reliability of their operations. When users interact with Dapps, they need to know that their actions and transactions are irreversible once confirmed. Finality guarantees this, ensuring that the outcomes of Dapp interactions are trustworthy. Stable Transactions in Obyte Obyte is a decentralized network that uses a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) structure instead of a blockchain, allowing for more decentralization. Unlike blockchains, where a small group of block producers can dominate and even censor transactions, Obyte eliminates these central power structures. Its DAG model ensures that no single entity can control the network, creating a system where there aren’t middlemen between transaction sending and transaction approval. In terms of transaction finality, Obyte reaches deterministic finality once a transaction is deemed stable, meaning it cannot be reversed —ever. This is achieved by gradually building a Main Chain (MC) through transactions posted by Order Providers (OPs—nodes with guiding transactions). As new transactions are added to the network, each user tracks their own current MC based on the latest transactions they have received. While the recent part of the MC might change as new transactions are received, its old part, beyond some point, is stable, meaning that it will never change no matter what new transactions are received. This point is called the stability point. A transaction becomes final and irreversible once the stability point moves ahead of the transaction. This happens when enough “weight” from OPs is placed on the older part of the MC and any competing branches lose their chances of redirecting that part of the MC. Therefore, after reaching the stability point, a transaction is considered fully confirmed and cannot be reversed, ensuring deterministic finality, as opposed to the probabilistic one on some well-known blockchains, including Bitcoin. As a result, users can enjoy the benefits of a whole crypto ecosystem including smart contracts, Decentralized Finance (DeFi) apps, Autonomous Agents (AA), customized tokens, and more features, all with integrated deterministic finality.

When I first set out on the entrepreneurial path, I had one goal: success. But after diving headfirst into the world of search funds and high-stakes startups, I found myself frustrated, drained, and questioning everything I’d come to believe about entrepreneurship. It wasn’t just that I wasn’t seeing the progress I’d envisioned—it was more personal. I felt like I was participating in a script that wasn’t written for me. My journey to create HalalFinanx wasn’t just about building a website; it was about reclaiming control, redefining success, and connecting to something meaningful. The Glamorous Illusion of Entrepreneurship Like many people, I was lured into entrepreneurship by the shiny allure of success stories and the promises of independence and financial freedom. Owning something, leading a team, and creating value sounded perfect. The search fund model was especially appealing, offering a structured path to find, acquire, and grow an existing business. It seemed like a straightforward formula with a lot of support. But as I dove deeper, the reality didn’t line up with the narrative. It felt like the supposed “freedom” of entrepreneurship was simply a myth, shackled by complex financial structures, endless pitching cycles, and a business environment that seemed more concerned with pleasing investors than creating something meaningful. I was constantly running from one “critical task” to another, but with no tangible progress. The whole structure of the search fund, built on layers of assumptions, started to feel like a game—and not the kind I wanted to play. The more I went, the more I felt like I was living someone else’s dream. I was chasing metrics that weren’t meaningful to me, jumping through hoops for outcomes that felt hollow. I started asking myself, “Is this what entrepreneurship is supposed to feel like?” I wanted out, but I didn’t know where to turn. Finding a New Path – The Birth of HalalFinanx The turning point came when I realized that if I wanted real change, I had to start creating things that resonated with me, not just my bank account or a pitch deck. As a Muslim, I’ve always been interested in Islamic finance, especially the ethical approach it brings to wealth. However understanding the field and accessing resources can be a challenge. I thought, why not create something to make Islamic finance easier to understand? I’ll be honest—this wasn’t the kind of idea that was going to impress traditional investors or fit into the typical startup. But for the first time, I was excited about what I was working on. I saw a real gap, not in a theoretical market sense, but a gap in what people genuinely needed. HalalFinanx was my way of bringing Islamic finance to the digital age in a way that’s accessible, understandable, and useful. There was one small issue: my skills lie in the backend and data. I’ve built and structured plenty of systems, but front-end work? Design? User experience? That was all new territory. Still, I knew that if I didn’t push myself here, I’d be back where I started—stuck in a rut, relying on others to bring my vision to life. This time, I was going to be in control. Learning by Doing – Building HalalFinanx with Bolt.new To get HalalFinanx off the ground, I turned to Bolt.new, a product that allowed me to work in a framework even with my limited front-end knowledge. Building this project was intense. I’d spend late nights combing through design guides, trying to make sure the site looked decent and functioned smoothly. It was exhausting, but the work felt real. This wasn’t just a project to show a board or potential investors—it was something I cared about personally, and every element I worked on felt like it added to that sense of fulfilment. Sure, there were plenty of challenges. Frontend work, it turns out, isn’t just about knowing which elements go where—it’s an art form. I struggled with layout, design principles, and even simple user flows. There were days when I’d look at the site and think, “This isn’t working.” But rather than giving up or passing the task to someone else, I forced myself to learn. It was a series of trial and error of building, testing, and iterating. What kept me going was the vision of what HalalFinanx could become, and each small win felt monumental. Making a button work, fixing a colour scheme, aligning content so it made sense—all of these were tiny victories in a larger war. The backend developer in me was learning to appreciate the nuances of frontend work, and it was humbling. The Personal Impact of Creating HalalFinanx This journey with HalalFinanx wasn’t just about building a site it was about redefining what success and fulfilment meant to me. In the search fund and traditional startup world, everything had been about numbers, KPIs, and keeping the right people happy. Here, with HalalFinanx, I was finally creating something with a purpose that resonated with me on a personal level. Building a site to provide accessible Islamic finance information was meaningful, not because of the potential returns or scalability, but because it filled a need I felt deeply. Each piece of content, each design tweak, and each function was geared towards making something simple, clear, and beneficial to anyone seeking this kind of financial guidance. I wasn’t answering to anyone but myself and my users, and that was liberating in a way I hadn’t expected. On a personal level, I found myself rediscovering why I wanted to create in the first place. I wanted to build something that mattered, and HalalFinanx became that for me. Instead of chasing empty metrics, I was now chasing real feedback from real users. Each suggestion and piece of feedback helped me refine the site, making it not just a project, but an evolving resource. For the first time, I was thinking long-term, not about exits or acquisition targets, but about sustainability and relevance. Looking Forward – The Ongoing Journey of HalalFinanx I don’t know where HalalFinanx will be in five years, but I know I’m in it for the long run. This isn’t a project that I’ll drop at the first sign of difficulty or when the next big thing comes along. It’s a genuine part of me now, a blend of my skills, my values, and my aspirations. I’m constantly looking for ways to improve it, from gathering user feedback to exploring new resources and insights to share. This journey taught me that real entrepreneurship isn’t about the numbers on a spreadsheet or the approval of others. It’s about finding something that matters to you, something you’re willing to build from scratch, without shortcuts or compromises. HalalFinanx is still a work in progress, but it’s my work, and that’s what makes it worth every bit of effort. When I first set out on the entrepreneurial path, I had one goal: success.

Cryptocurrency is billed as the ‘wild west’ of the financial world - often misunderstood, sometimes celebrated (when it’s ‘up’) and occasionally dismissed as a game of chance. But is investing in crypto really just speculating and gambling, or is it a more edgy way to diversify your portfolio? It’s just another asset class Sure, crypto might seem like it’s all about thrills, adrenaline and the next shiny thing - but just like stocks, bonds, and even commodities, crypto represents a form of value that investors can buy, sell, and trade. Yes, it’s volatile - but so are plenty of other asset classes. Oil prices fluctuate. Stock markets crash. Even gold has its wild swings. Yet, we don’t call those gambling, do we? Crypto’s ups and downs might be extreme, but that doesn’t make it a game of chance. Think of it as a rollercoaster in a market that just happens to move at lightning speed. The key is in the strategy, not the spin of a wheel. There’s research to be done, timing to consider and (don’t skip this step!) fundamental understanding of what you’re investing in. Don’t let the volatility fool you - this isn’t a casino, it’s just another corner of the financial market that happens to move a bit faster than the rest. Returns are never guaranteed Ask any seasoned investor, and they’ll tell you that risk-taking is part and parcel of the investment game. Because crypto is more volatile (its price fluctuation is more dramatic) than other assets, this perceived risk is often amplified - which might be why some folks mistake it for gambling. The reality, however, is that investment always involves risk, whether it’s stocks, real estate or the latest trendy token. Doing your own research should be non-negotiable before investing. This includes understanding the different types of crypto assets out there i.e. the ‘bluechips’ and the startups; which tokens are speculative plays and which are more like infrastructure assets. Crypto investing requires doing research in the exact same way you would for a stock investing - it’s key to understand the company/token, what the problem it's solving is, who the team are, their track record and product-market fit. This might also include talking to other investors, following different types of influencers in the space and analysing their possible motives; as well as following the news and what moves the markets. This balanced approach where you draw on a set of trusted sources to make your own conclusions based on a combination of experience, gut feel and hard work and research is a wise approach and sound advice for any investor, whether you’re playing with blue chips or Bitcoin. Just because the stakes can be high doesn’t mean you should throw caution to the wind. Investment is not about blind luck; but about calculated risk. Remember, the house doesn’t always win when you’re the one making all the calls. The psychology of FOMO (or ‘Fear of missing out’) FOMO can be a modern investor’s worst enemy. The reason why this term gets tossed around in crypto circles is because the market moves very fast. Every time you hear a story about someone making a ‘quick million’, it’s tempting to think you’re missing out on the jackpot. But beware: FOMO isn’t an investment strategy; it is often just a recipe for impulsive decisions. Although crypto might lure people in with promises of sky-high returns, that’s also true of plenty of other investments. Chasing quick gains is risky in any market, and that adrenaline rush you feel is the same feeling that makes people buy lotto tickets. Unlike the lotto, however, crypto demands a rational approach. Rather than succumbing to FOMO, take a step back and ask yourself if the decision makes sense in the context of your personal investment strategy. Research has shown that once people invest in crypto, they rarely abandon the asset class. In the end, crypto is what you make of it: treat it like gambling, and that’s what it’ll be. Treat it like a serious investment, and you might find it’s an asset class worth holding onto. Disclaimer: Investing in crypto carries risk. Always do your own research or seek professional advice.
