Department of Data Science and AI at IIT Madras
Dr Sivaram Ambikarasan from the Department of Data Science and AI at IIT Madras, who holds a PhD in computational and mathematical engineering, a master’s degree in statistics from Stanford University and is an accomplished chess player, delivered an inspiring and thought-provoking vision talk on technology that India needs to adopt to become a global chess powerhouse.
But why chess of all sports? To give a quick context, Dr Sivaram explained how India is in a fairly good space in terms of chess. “We have four Indians among the top 10 players worldwide. We have a lot more youngsters playing chess. Chess ranks third in popularity among the sports viewed by Indians online, with cricket being the first, followed by football,” he said.
