We’ve wrapped up the event with high hopes for the future, having made a significant impact at the 75th All India Commerce Conference (AICC) as the proud silver sponsor. Held in the picturesque city of Udaipur at PAHER University, hosted by Guru Gobind Tribal University, Banswara, Rajasthan, the conference attracted over 2,000 delegates from across the country. This annual event has long been regarded as India’s largest and most prestigious academic gathering in commerce, providing a vital platform for thought leaders, academicians, and industry experts to discuss the evolving landscape of commerce education in India.
The Indian Commerce Association (ICA), founded in 1947, has hosted this annual event for more than seven decades. This year’s conference, marking the 75th edition, upheld the long-standing tradition of engaging discussions on the challenges and opportunities facing commerce education. Nergy was honoured to contribute to this prestigious event and further drive the conversation on experiential learning in commerce, a concept we have pioneered in the Indian ed-tech sector.
As the silver sponsor, Nergy India made its presence felt throughout the conference, bringing our vision of experiential learning to life. Our flagship innovation, Nergy Vidya, which offers a revolutionary experiential learning platform designed to equip students with practical skills in commerce, finance, and accounting, was a key highlight at the event.
The Nergy Pavilion, strategically located at the heart of the event, quickly became a central hub for discussions, attracting a steady flow of delegates keen to learn more about how our platform is transforming education.
The response to Nergy Vidya was overwhelmingly positive. Our interactive demo sessions allowed delegates to experience firsthand how experiential learning can bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical, real-world applications. From immersive simulations in accounting to real-life scenarios in digital finance, attendees were able to explore the innovative technology and hands-on approach that Nergy Vidya offers.
Even before the event officially commenced, the pavilion drew significant attention, generating numerous inquiries about potential collaborations. This level of enthusiasm only grew as the conference progressed, with many delegates recognising the platform’s potential to reshape the commerce education landscape.
One of the most memorable moments was the address delivered by Sharif Aerkulangara, Nergy India’s CEO, at the inaugural function. During his speech, Sharif emphasised the importance of incorporating experiential learning into the traditional education system, particularly in fields like commerce and finance. He highlighted the ways in which platforms like Nergy Vidya can better prepare students for the digital economy, ensuring they graduate with the skills that employers are actively seeking.
Sharif’s address underscored the importance of innovation and collaboration in commerce education. His message rippled to the audience, which included some of the country’s most distinguished academicians and industry leaders.
In addition to the keynote, one of the most impactful sessions during the conference was Nergy’s roundtable discussion on “Bridging the Skill Gap: Transforming Commerce Education in India for the Digital Economy.” Led by Dr. Simon Thattil, Dean Faculty of Commerce – University of Kerala & Kannur University, our CEO Sharif Aerkulangara, Director Adithia Sankar, Country Head of Sales Dolphy Dias, Chief Marketing Officer Faizel Hassainar, and B Durga Prasad, Sales Head at Taxmann, led this insightful session.
Held at the Vishveshwarya Hall on the PAHER University campus, this discussion attracted academics who came for the AICC. The panel explored how commerce education can evolve to better meet industry needs, especially in areas such as digital finance, e-commerce, and data analytics. The discussion also highlighted the role of experiential learning, internships, and technology in bridging the skill gap for future commerce graduates.
The exchange of ideas was robust, with the panel of eminent academicians addressing the challenges of curriculum modernisation, faculty training, and the integration of technology into the learning process. Delegates in attendance were impressed by Nergy’s forward-thinking approach and recognised the urgent need to adapt educational practices to keep pace with the rapidly changing economic landscape.
Nergy’s participation at the 75th AICC extended beyond just discussions. Our team actively engaged with delegates throughout the conference. Our pavilion became a focal point for these interactions, where delegates were able to engage in in-depth conversations about the transformative potential of experiential learning.
A key outcome of the event was the interest shown by academic institutions in partnering with Nergy to integrate experiential learning into their curricula. Many academicians expressed enthusiasm about the potential of Nergy Vidya to equip students with real-world skills that align with industry demands, particularly in fast-evolving fields like digital finance, data analytics, and e-commerce.
The 75th All India Commerce Conference (AICC), titled “VIKSIT BHARAT @2047,” envisioned a future where commerce education finds its full potential to fuel the dreams of a developed India on its centenary celebrations. This synergy symbolises a journey emphasising the critical need for commerce education to evolve with the digital economy’s generation demands.
The conference delivered a unified message: the future of commerce education lies in the synergy between industry and academia. Both sectors must collaborate to offer students a holistic education that blends theoretical knowledge with practical skills. Nergy is proud to lead this transformation, spearheading efforts to revolutionise commerce education in India.
As we wrap up our participation in the 75th AICC, we can’t help but feel a sense of optimism about what lies ahead. Serving as a silver sponsor has been both rewarding and impactful, and we’re thrilled to see our contributions to discussions on experiential learning being met with such appreciation.
The enthusiasm for Nergy Vidya, coupled with the engaging roundtable discussions and meaningful interactions with delegates, reinforces our belief in the transformative potential of experiential learning.
We’re genuinely excited about the collaborations and partnerships that will stem from the 75th AICC, and we look forward to pushing the boundaries of experiential learning even further.
While this event may have come to a close, we’re reminded of Robert Frost’s words:
“The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.”
Like Frost, Nergy is committed to forging ahead, ensuring commerce reaches the heights it truly deserves.
