Phatak was is in Hyderabad on Monday, 27 February 2017 to take part in this year's Knowledge Management Summit. The two-day summit was organised by the apex business body named Confederation of Indian Industry or CII.

Present on the occasion were -

  • BVR Mohan Reddy, Former Chairman and Client Executive Chairman of Nasscom
  • Ganesh Natarajan, Chairman National Committee on Knowledge Management of CII

Pathak said that the automated online communities will be able to discuss on important issues. They are backed by good cloud support. Stakeholders from different fields based on their interest, topics and subjects can join the discussion. It will recognise people with a good rating. It will also highlight the names of the volunteers who have good ratings to move forward in the group. There can be a number of groups on diverse issues.

Addressing the inaugural function, he said that the education system of India has been separated from research and skills. The end products of colleges are without any skills. This needs to be changed. Academics, skills and research have to be amalgamated. The education system of the country needs to encourage students to be curious and promote inquisitiveness. But instead, now students are driven by marks and they are not able to articulate their mind.
