barublogPunjab is rich in resilience, heritage, and talent. Yet it faces defining challenges around youth aspiration, employability, migration, and equitable access to quality education.
To confront these realities, leaders from corporate boardrooms, global enterprises, universities, and impact networks gathered to ask a crucial question:
👉 Where is Punjab headed — and what must change now?
A Multi-Stakeholder Dialogue Rooted in Responsibility
The seminar Punjab at a Crossroads became a platform for honest, ground-level reflection and solution-driven thinking. Experts from Hero MotoCorp, PwC, Oracle, FLAME University, HTL Aircon, and other institutions came together with educators, professionals, and citizens who believe in nation-building through education and skilling.
The aim was not only to diagnose the problem, but to identify practical levers of transformation.
Themes That Defined the Conversation
Across sessions, panelists emphasized that Punjab does not lack capability. What it requires is stronger alignment between skills, education systems, industry participation, and responsible CSR leadership.
Key priorities included:
- Making youth employable in a fast-changing economy
- Deepening industry–academia collaboration
- Expanding structured mentorship
- Strengthening rural education
- Ensuring CSR investments create measurable, sustainable impact
Distinguished Leaders, Real Insights
The discussion featured an exceptional lineup of voices with deep experience across finance, technology, academia, inclusion, and impact investment.
🎙️ Speakers included
- Jogendra Singh – Former CFO, Hero Corporate Service Ltd
- Prof Amarpreet Singh Ghura – Professor, FLAME University
- Tina Ahluwalia – Head Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Winpe
- Ravinder Pal Singh – Global Tech Leader and Impact Investor

Their perspectives brought clarity to both the urgency of the situation and the pathways forward.
Education Must Lead the Recovery
A powerful consensus emerged: education cannot remain theoretical, urban-centric, or disconnected from life outcomes.
Accessible, affordable, and value-driven models are essential to build confident, ethical, and future-ready citizens.
Institutions such as the Akal Academies were acknowledged for demonstrating how holistic, rural-focused education can uplift families and reshape community futures.
A Gathering That Refused Silence
From Andheri East to Borivali, Thane to Navi Mumbai, participants arrived not as spectators but as contributors.

The energy in the room signaled that the time for passive concern has passed. Collaboration must now translate into implementation.
CSR as a Force Multiplier
If Punjab is to move forward, partnerships must widen. Corporations, philanthropies, and academic institutions have the expertise, networks, and resources required to accelerate change.
The invitation is clear:
- Offer mentorship
- Provide industry exposure
- Support skilling ecosystems
- Share knowledge
- Build long-term institutional partnerships
Because sustainable transformation is built through engagement, not intention.
From Conversation to Commitment
This was more than a seminar. It was a moment of awakening. A reminder that leadership is measured by participation.
Punjab’s future will be written by those willing to step forward today.
