Anuj Kumar, Assistant Professor, Apeejay School of Management (ASM)in Delhi, India, was recently invited as a keynote speaker at The Third International Conference on Innovations in Social Sciences, Education, and Engineering organised by Loupias Event Organizer in Jakarta, Indonesia.

Over 120 participants from Malaysia, Indonesia, China, Singapore, and other countries attended the conference which took place this month.

During his speech, Professor Kumar focused on the challenges hindering the adoption of technology in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). While technology adoption and acquisition offer numerous benefits for SMEs, certain obstacles impede their progress. He shed light on these bottlenecks and explored how a collaboration between the government and academia can address them effectively.

The Apeejay professor also emphasised the importance of the government prioritising training and skill development for individuals working in SMEs, with academia serving as a valuable partner in achieving this goal.

“We were excited to have charismatic speaker Anuj Kumar from India in our inaugural. His keynote address was full of new knowledge and participants liked it a lot. SME is a hot topic of discussion in Indonesia,” said Dr Henry, who was part of the organising team.

Professor Kumar added, “It was an excellent inaugural. As a keynote speaker, I witnessed the participants from Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and other countries. It was an honour to share the platform with other expert keynote speakers from other foreign countries. The Q-A round was very interactive.”

In June 2023, the Apeejay professor also delivered a keynote address at the “National Conference” organised by Guru Nanak Institute of Management, Delhi. The conference was based on the theme of “Management and IT Contribution Towards Sustainable Development: G20.” Professor Kumar’s insightful address offered valuable insights into sustainable management practices within SMEs.
