NOCN Group Joins Global Leaders in Delhi for AI and Productivity Summit
Posted 27 August 2025
Last week, our Chief Executive, Graham Hasting-Evans, represented NOCN Group at the Global Summit on Productivity in the Age of AI (GSPAI) in Delhi, India.
This landmark event brought together global leaders, innovators, and policymakers to explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping productivity and skills development.
Graham joined a panel discussion alongside Prof. P.B. Sharma, Prof. Prem Vrat, and Ravi Shankar, where they discussed how AI is redefining teaching methods, enabling personalised learning, and shaping future-ready skills. He shared how NOCN Group is harnessing AI to increase productivity in education and training, streamline teaching and assessment processes, and transform the global skills landscape. It was the ideal arena to share our latest report, ‘The Productivity Shift: How AI is Redefining Skills and Work’, which explores the evolving role of AI in skills development and its potential to drive economic growth and innovation.

The inaugural ceremony of the Summit was a powerful moment, featuring ceremonial lamp lighting and keynote addresses from esteemed leaders, including the Indian Minister for Highways and Transportation, the Honorable Nitin Gadkari. The Summit was an opportunity to meet with key stakeholders in the Indian skills landscape, and to showcase our work as a global skills charity.
At our exhibition stand, we shared NOCN Group’s range of internationally recognised qualifications, apprenticeships, and digital solutions available in India and beyond. We highlighted qualifications in ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages), productivity, and our International Diploma in Engineering and Manufacturing.
As an international skills charity, we are committed to ensuring that AI is used not just to boost productivity, but to create inclusive, accessible, and high-quality learning experiences for all. The Summit was a chance to reaffirm this commitment on a global stage.
Reflecting on the importance of the event, Graham Hasting-Evans said:
“India, and South Asia more widely, are key regions for NOCN Group, where we are working to support national development goals through high-quality qualifications, apprenticeships, and digital learning solutions. Being at the Summit was vital - not only to share our insights on AI and productivity, but to strengthen partnerships that will help deliver inclusive, future-ready skills across the region.”
