Talent Strategy In The AI Era - A Startup Roundtable by 2nd Careers & Agara Walks
The Context
Growth-stage startups are building rapidly for an AI-powered future—one that holds immense promise but also raises complex questions. Finding clarity on what AI will change, why it matters, how organizations should respond is hard but key.
To explore these questions, we are convening an exclusive, closed-door roundtable for startup founders and talent leaders in Bengaluru. Together, we will examine the most consequential talent and people challenges facing growth-stage startups today. The discussion will move beyond headlines and assumptions to explore what is genuinely changing, what remains uncertain, and what may be overstated in the conversation around AI and the future of work.
Themes on the Table
What is the right Human–AI ratio for a growth-stage startup?
Will job titles matter at all three years from now?
Are fractional roles the future of work—or just a passing trend?
Which functions will AI shrink, and where will new opportunities emerge?
Why Attend
