The discussion, which delved into the complexities and opportunities of navigating digital transformation, brought together a formidable panel of experts. It featured Conrad Dias, Director of LOLC Holdings and Chairman of LOLC Finance; Romesh Ranawana, Group Chief Analytics and AI Officer at Dialog Axiata; and Prasanth Nair, Chief HR Officer of Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals.

The Digital Imperative: No Longer an Option

Kicking off the discussion, Conrad Dias made a powerful case for the urgency of digital adoption. “Whether you're a country or an organisation, digital is not optional anymore. It’s a national imperative,” he asserted. To underscore his point, he cited compelling data from the World Economic Forum, revealing that digitally mature organisations outperform their peers by a staggering 45% in revenue growth.
