FLO Vadodara hosted an interactive and informative AI session, “Flow into the Future – AI for the Women of Tomorrow,” at Sanskriti Conference Hall, Alembic City Avenue. The objective of this session was to empower women with knowledge and awareness about Artificial Intelligence (AI), its practical applications, and its transformative potential across industries. As part of its National Digital Literacy initiative, FLO Vadodara organised this engaging session on Artificial Intelligence (AI) to leverage the technology for career advancement and business growth.
The engaging session introduced women to AI and helped them understand how it can be used in daily life and work. Also, this initiative equipped women with the tools, skills, and mindset needed to thrive in an increasingly AI-driven future. The session was led by Ms. Shreya Bajaj, national-level AI trainer for non-tech teams and business leaders. As an AI expert, Ms. Bajaj explained the basics in a simple and easy-to-understand way.
Participants learned how AI is becoming part of everyday activities and how it is changing the way we live, work, and learn. The key topics covered are what AI is and how it works, how women can use AI tools for learning, work, and running businesses, and the pros and cons of AI. The session featured real-life examples and interactive discussions, making the learning experience fun and practical. The speaker encouraged women to see AI not just as a tech subject, but as a useful tool for personal and professional growth.
Also, there was a lively Q&A session where participants engaged enthusiastically, asking questions and sharing their thoughts. This digital literacy event ended with hands-on practicals, allowing participants to try out simple AI tools themselves. FLO Vadodara remains committed to helping women become digitally skilled and future-ready.
The central agenda of the meeting was the newly established Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Council set up by the state government. It was highlighted that the proposals for the council are transparently available on its official website, and UNICEF is playing a crucial role in facilitating grants to drive impactful projects in West Bengal.
The discussion was led by a distinguished panel of speakers, including:
Dr. Shashi Panja, Hon’ble Minister for Industries, Commerce & Enterprises and Department of Women & Child Development and Social Welfare, Government of West Bengal.
Ms. Sanghamitra Ghosh, the Secretary of State
Mr. Monjur Hussain, The Chief of UNICEF West Bengal

The event fostered a unique collaborative environment, bringing together senior representatives from leading corporates and all major chambers of commerce, including the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), The Bengal Chamber of Commerce & Industry (BCC&I), ASSOCHAM, and the Bharat Chamber of Commerce.
