Kathmandu: The Nepal-India Chamber of Commerce & Industry (NICCI) and the European Economic Chamber (EEC Nepal), along with Bosch, hosted “AI for Decision Makers – An Executive Workshop for Leaders” on July 31. As a technology partner, Bosch played a key role in equipping local business leaders, senior executives, entrepreneurs, and policymakers to leverage Artificial Intelligence for business transformation, productivity, and strategic decision making.
“In today’s landscape, access to advanced AI technology is democratized, the differentiator now is strategic execution and leadership,” said Guruprasad Mudlapur, President of the Bosch Group in India and Managing Director, Bosch Limited. “Real transformation occurs when organizations look beyond simple automation and combine AI with proprietary domain expertise, human judgment, and deep customer trust. The decisions regional leaders make today in building organizational capabilities will ultimately determine their competitiveness for years to come.”
The inaugural session was also graced by H.E. Veronique Lorenzo, Ambassador of the European Union to Nepal, and H.E. Udo Eugen Volz, Ambassador of Germany to Nepal whose presence reflected the importance of international collaboration in promoting digital innovation, technology partnerships, and capacity building in Nepal’s private sector.
During the inaugural session of the workshop, the AI publication titled “From Hype to Strategy – AI for Decision Makers,” prepared by Bosch, was also officially launched.
“AI is no longer a future concept; it is a business imperative. The goal of this workshop was to help leaders understand how to adopt AI responsibly and turn it into measurable value for their organizations,” said Sandeep Kamat, Country Head for Bosch in Nepal.
During the Fireside Chat session of the workshop, Prof. Dr. Sudan Jha, Member of the National Planning Commission, Government of Nepal, shared the Government of Nepal’s policy perspectives on Artificial Intelligence. He discussed the evolution of AI, its potential contributions to national development, how Nepal should adopt and integrate AI into its development agenda, and the initiatives the Government has already undertaken to incorporate AI into its policies and strategic plans.
The core of the workshop was facilitated by Dr. Caleb Munigety, Head of Enterprise AI at Bosch India, who drew upon Bosch’s extensive success stories to deliver a highly practical learning experience. Key sessions covered enterprise AI trends, high-impact AI opportunities, AI investments, Large Language Models (LLMs), AI governance, and actionable adoption roadmaps. Through interactive strategy exercises, senior executives from diverse sectors gained hands-on insights to seamlessly integrate AI into their long-term business planning.
