    Date: Thursday, July 10, 2025

    Time: 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM PST

    Location: Virtual (Zoom link provided upon registration)

    Dr. Praveen Seshadri is a seasoned tech entrepreneur whose career spans academia, startups, and industry giants like Microsoft and Google (which acquired his first company). Today, as co-founder of Thunk.AI, he’s focused on developing reliable AI agents that automate complex business workflows. With a deep passion for productivity tools and technology democratization, Dr. Seshadri brings a refreshingly grounded perspective on the rapidly evolving role of AI in the workplace.

    What you’ll explore:

    • Modern AI demystified – what it really is, beyond the headlines
    • AI agents at work – separating hype from reality
    • Implementation challenges – the tough stuff no one talks about
    • Why it matters for HR – practical implications for people leaders navigating change
    • AI is already transforming the workplace. The real question is: are we ready to meet that reality?

    Join us for a candid conversation that goes beyond the buzz to examine the real-world impacts of AI—and what it means for the future of talent, work, and leadership.
