The three-day conference and exhibition, to be sponsored by Bombay Stock Exchange, will have academics, research scholars, and distinguished dignitaries from eminent universities from across the world such as Queen Mary University of London.

“Education institutions like VES play a great role in seeking to find solutions for the pressing problems of our country. Being an eminent institute in India that provides programmes on Business Analytics, it is our duty to showcase to the world what cutting-edge technologies and innovations can add value to the idea of sustainable smart cities,” said Dr. Satish Modh, Director of VESIM.

“Business Analytics and Internet of Things are the core components of smart cities. The fact is there are no yardsticks that perfectly determine a smart city in its true sense. There is no set criteria for sectors like sanitation, highway, energy, IT connectivity, etc. Here, we aim to set parameters for smart cities through this innovative conference. We want to showcase all the essential components of true smart city,” said Dr. Sachin Deshmukh, Professor & Area Chairperson, Centre of Excellence for Business Analytics, VESIM.

The conference provides unparalleled networking opportunities for data management and smart city professionals from many countries. The conference shall showcase analytics that keep smart cities operational. While experts from various fields will share their knowledge, the corporate participants will showcase their products.
