Conference Theme
, The Making of Digital India
Management Perspectives
India is currently embarking on a digitally enabled innovation idea. With the
Government's vision of a 'Digital India', the country has commenced a journey towards
digital transformation in the lives of citizens across the country. Without doubt, 'Digital
,
India' will empower citizens, put learning over education, help in reskilling the people,
create new sustainable employment opportunities, change and improve the overall
healthcare situation, boost economic growth, transform the businesses and so on.

While the benets emerging from the use of digital technology is highly signicant, the
challenges emanating from the same cannot be ignored. In order to stay relevant to the
context, organisations need to have a right management approach to effectively
digitalize their activities effectively. It may not be wrong to say, 'Digital India' is still the
elephant that a lot of blind women and men are trying to unravel within the boundaries
of their expertise, exposure and ability to imagine. All the stakeholders of 'Digital India'
will interpret and utilise it in their own ways and bring their own management
perspective. However, managing these perspectives and using the management
method of co-creation would be an ideal way to identify the challenges and evolve
solutions. This would be the key to the success of 'Digital India' programme.

With this backdrop, the PAN-IIM conference is an endeavor to bring together all the stakeholders including the academicians, researchers, businesses,
policy makers, politicians, scientists, entrepreneurs, students, civil society, rural change makers and any interested individual to one platform for sharing
of their experiences, ideas, viewpoints and collective intelligence. The unique format of this event will not only request the stakeholders to submit papers
documenting their research and ndings on the various benets and challenges of a true 'Digital India', but also use the co-creation workshop methodology
to dene all the possible challenges, brainstorm on solutions and develop an effective action plan for implementation of 'Digital India' movement.

As we gather at IIM Lucknow Campus, we invite all stakeholders of 'Digital India' as conference participants to think creatively about how we can manage
Digital India movement more efciently & effectively.
