SK Group's focus on the entire AI ecosystem from hardware to operations is impressive. Indian companies like TCS and Infosys should take note and build similar comprehensive strategies.

Hope they discuss how smaller APEC economies can benefit from AI without being left behind. Sometimes these forums become too corporate-focused and forget about inclusive growth.
