From learning AI to mastering the art of applying it.

Artificial Intelligence is transforming the way we think, work, learn, and navigate our everyday lives. But the true potential of AI lies not just in learning about it. It lies in understanding it deeply, experimenting with it, and applying it meaningfully in our own contexts.

In his testimonial following the inauguration of the Microsoft AI Lab at TAPMI, Dr. Debasis Pradhan, Director, TAPMI, reflects on the importance of moving beyond simply learning AI to mastering its application.

He emphasises that building effective AI capabilities takes time. By gradually training AI tools and agents to understand our needs, systems, and contexts, we can unlock their potential to support us in more meaningful and effective ways.

At the same time, with greater access to AI comes greater responsibility. Ethical and responsible application of AI must remain at the heart of this transformation.

The Microsoft AI Lab at TAPMI is a step towards fostering this culture of learning, experimentation, application, and responsible innovation, empowering students to navigate and shape an AI-driven future.

Learn. Master. Apply. Innovate, responsibly.

🌿 Responsible Fashion: Where Entrepreneurship Meets Sustainability

TAPMI recently hosted an insightful guest session on “Responsible Fashion: An Entrepreneurial Journey Towards Sustainability” by Ms. Achla Choudhury, Founder of PADUMA Responsible Fashion.
Organised as part of the Sustainability, Responsibility and Managerial Ethics (SRME) course, the session introduced MBA–Core, BKFS and HRM students to the growing importance of responsible practices across the fashion value chain.

Drawing from her entrepreneurial journey, Ms. Choudhury discussed how fashion enterprises can balance the three pillars of sustainability—People, Planet and Profit. She shared valuable insights into the use of environmentally responsible materials, organic cotton, upcycling, low-waste processes, durable design, ethical vendor relationships and accessible pricing.

The session encouraged students to view sustainability not merely as a business obligation, but as an opportunity for innovation, value creation and positive social and environmental impact.

TAPMI extends its sincere appreciation to Ms. Achla Choudhury for sharing her experiences and offering students a practical perspective on building a purpose-driven enterprise.

The session was facilitated by Prof. Muneza Kagzi and Prof. Ruchi Mishra.
