The two-day programme combined research-focused workshops with keynote addresses, an editors’ panel, research presentations and an industry-academia discussion. The pre-conference workshops covered research gap identification, grounded theory and case research, quantitative research design and big data analytics, offering scholars practical insights into strengthening research quality and methodological rigour.

Mahindra University Vice Chancellor Dr Yajulu Medury said leadership in the digital age demands more than technological fluency. “It calls for the ability to understand change, question established assumptions and make informed decisions in an increasingly complex environment. Pramaan 2026 reflects Mahindra University’s commitment to creating platforms where rigorous research, industry experience and academic dialogue come together to address the challenges shaping organisations and society,” he added.
