The year 2025 has turned out to be a defining moment for both technology and the automobile industry in India. Electric vehicles have steadily moved from curiosity to credible choice, with their growth in market share reflecting this change. Consumers are more confident than ever about EVs, but the challenges are still familiar: pricing remains a hurdle, charging infrastructure continues to develop at an uneven pace, and many want better range before they commit. Yet despite these concerns, the direction is clear: India is embracing a cleaner mobility future.

Artificial intelligence has dominated the narrative in the tech world with the same intensity. The rapid adoption of AI has already begun to reshape workplaces, streamline workflows, and lift productivity across sectors. But even as industries have forged ahead, new concerns have surfaced: questions of job stability, workforce adaptation, and upskilling have become part of everyday discussions. Young professionals are careful observers of this transformation at play. Fully aware of how mobility, mobile technology, and intelligent systems are changing around them, they ready themselves for relevance. Even so, the road to readiness is long and ongoing.

In this landscape of accelerated change, one event is bringing together the voices that matter. The Jagran Hitech Awards 2025 will take place in New Delhi on November 24th and is a platform where leaders from technology and automobiles will discuss India's digital evolution, innovation roadmap, and the future of mobility. Anyone looking to understand how these industries are transforming will find this gathering particularly meaningful.
