He will speak on the influence of impact investing, creating socially and environmentally conscious organizations and careers in the sector. 

During the IIT Delhi career fest, organizations can hire IIT Delhi students by conducting selection processes and extending offers to candidates, it said. For the job and internship, around 20 companies are expected to visit the campus physically while around 50 will be conducting processes virtually.

“Through the non-hiring events, the Institute's aim is to provide insights and multidimensional perspectives on career avenues in various sectors ranging from new age sectors like Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Blockchain Technology, Digital Currency and traditional sectors like Analytics, Civil Services, Finance, Entrepreneurship, Higher Education and Core Technical by senior industry professionals.
