ImpactX, organized by SLIIT Women in FOSS, brought together students and industry professionals for focused conversations on careers in technology and the growing influence of AI.

Perituza participated as a Platinum Partner, taking an active role in shaping the discussions through both a panel and a technical session.

A key highlight of the event was the panel discussion, where Yuka shared practical insights on entering the tech industry, building relevant skills, and adapting to change. The conversation focused on real expectations and how students can better prepare for the transition into professional roles.

Shyam further contributed through his session on thriving in an AI-driven world, encouraging students to think beyond current tools and focus on long-term growth, adaptability, and industry alignment.

In an AI-driven world, staying relevant isn’t about mastering one tool – it’s about continuously evolving how you think and work.

The event created space for meaningful interaction, allowing students to engage directly with speakers and gain a clearer understanding of what working in tech demands.

Engagements such as ImpactX continue to strengthen the connection between academia and industry, helping students approach their careers with greater clarity and direction.

Perituza remains committed to supporting initiatives that create opportunities for learning, engagement, and future-ready talent development.
