The event will continue its tradition of bringing together thought leaders from diverse fields, including policymakers, IT professionals, influencers, and industry stalwarts, to discuss pivotal issues concerning South India.
The theme of the dialogue this year is People and Technology: Governance for Tomorrow, which reflects the growing intersection of technology with every aspect of modern life.
There is an interesting line-up of talks aimed at exploring how IT and its broad spectrum are shaping society and how India can harness this transformation for progress.
While Hyderabad hosted the inaugural edition of Dakshin Dialogues on 17 September 2022, the second edition was held in Bengaluru on 7 October 2023.
The first edition focused on the topic – Is India Truly Federal? The Bengaluru edition deliberated on the Delimitation Exercise Scheduled for 2026.
