Bhuvaneswari for tech-driven sustainable growth

Nara Bhuvaneswari underscored the crucial role of technology in sustainable development while addressing the ALEAP International Conference organised by the Association of Lady Entrepreneurs of India (ALEAP) on International Women’s Day.
Speaking as the chief guest at the three-day event, Bhuvaneswari highlighted how emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, and renewable energy can empower women entrepreneurs to build successful and eco-friendly businesses. “We are at a turning point where technology and sustainability can work together to create a better future. Making these tools accessible to everyone is key,” she said, lauding ALEAP for promoting digital inclusion and green financing.
She further emphasised the potential of Industry 4.0, marked by smart automation and circular economy models, in fostering business growth while minimising environmental impact. She urged entrepreneurs to adopt these innovations to enhance efficiency, generate employment, and ensure long-term success.
Expressing concern over the rising threat of cybercrime, Bhuvaneswari noted that even tech professionals and law enforcement personnel are not immune to online fraud. Describing cybercriminals as “faceless, heartless, and ruthless,” she called for heightened vigilance and stronger digital awareness. She stressed the need for individuals to educate their families and communities about online threats and adopt preventive measures in an increasingly digital world.
