Sustainability Through Digital Transformation
Insights from Management, Humanities, Science and Social Science
The twin imperatives of our time — achieving sustainable development and harnessing rapid digital transformation — can no longer be addressed in isolation. Emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Big Data Analytics, Blockchain, Internet of Things, and Cloud Computing are reshaping how organizations, governments, and communities pursue economic, social, and environmental goals.
At the same time, the pursuit of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) demands insights that cut across disciplinary boundaries — from business strategy and public policy to ethics, culture, scientific innovation, and social behaviour.
This conference provides a common platform for academicians, researchers, industry practitioners, policymakers, and research scholars from India and abroad to deliberate on how digital transformation can be leveraged as a catalyst for sustainability.
By bringing together perspectives from Management, Humanities, Science, and Social Science, the conference seeks to foster interdisciplinary dialogue, encourage collaborative research, and generate actionable insights for building a resilient, inclusive, and digitally empowered sustainable future.
Selected papers will be considered for publication in conference proceedings / reputed journals (details to be announced).
