Lakshmi Pratury, Founder and CEO of INKTalks, sits down with the founding team and leadership of NextWealth to explore a powerful intersection of technology, artificial intelligence, and social impact. The conversation delves deep into how a vision that began in 2010 is now reshaping the IT landscape in India’s small towns.
NextWealth is a pioneering BPM company built on the belief that world-class technology services can originate from India’s Tier 2 and Tier 3 towns. With a unique “human-in-the-loop” approach to AI, the company blends human expertise with advanced technology to deliver accurate and ethical data services. By focusing on local employment - especially for women - and creating professional opportunities in smaller towns, NextWealth is addressing income and opportunity inequality while building AI-ready talent pools in non-metro regions.
The panel features Dr. Sridhar Mitta (Chairman and Founder), who envisions sustainable tech-driven employment beyond metros; Anand Talwai (Co-Founder and Executive Director), who structured distributed, partner-led centers for local empowerment; Mythily Ramesh (Co-Founder & CEO), who led the company through crucial milestones including scaling operations and resilience during COVID; and Madhukar Yarra (President), a technology leader driving NextWealth’s future roadmap in Generative AI and advanced data services. Lakshmi Pratury, known for her inspiring storytelling and curatorial leadership through INKTalks, brings out each speaker’s personal journey and commitment to making a difference at the intersection of innovation, inclusivity, and impact.
