Jagdish Sheth School of Management (JAGSoM) is hosting the ISDSI (International Society for Data Science and Innovation) Global Conference 2022 on the theme Businesses in Phygital World at its Bengaluru Campus from December 27 to 29, 2022. This conference is hosted in partnership with University at Albany, State University of New York (SUNY), USA
Aided by ubiquitous technology and multiple screens, consumers have become habituated to ‘phygital’ world, where they combine ‘physical’ and ‘digital’ options to improve their experience. For example, Amazon Go store, where you pick up what you need and walk out without a physical checkout, is essentially shopping ‘phygitaly’. Businesses have reoriented their business strategies and process for the new order. It’s time academics understands this important development, and incorporates in MBA education and research.
To put a spotlight on this theme, Jagdish Sheth School of Management (JAGSoM) is hosting the ISDSI (International Society for Data Science and Innovation) Global Conference 2022 at its Bengaluru Campus from December 27 to 29, 2022. This conference is hosted in partnership with University at Albany, State University of New York (SUNY), USA.
Conference speakers include globally respected thought-leaders including Prof. Jagdish Sheth, Professor Emeritus, Emory University; Dr Ajai Chowdhry, Co-Founder of HCL and co-founder EPIC Foundation, an Industry Led Non – Profit Organization; Prof. A. Parasuraman, Professor Emeritus, Miami University; and Prof. Vithala R. Rao, Professor Emeritus, Cornell University (Conference Chair).
Participants will also have the opportunity to listen to leaders from top B-schools including Prof. Rishikesha T. Krishnan, Director, IIM Bangalore; Prof. Pawan Singh, Director, IIM Trichy; Prof. Bhimaraya Metri, Director, IIM Nagpur; Prof. Mahadeo Jaiswal, Director, IIM Sambalpur; Prof. Ranjan Banerjee Dean, BITSoM, Prof. Harivansh Chaturvedi, Director, BIMTECH; Prof. Srini Srinivasan, Director, JBIMS; Prof. Anup K.

Speaking about the conference theme, Dr Atish Chattopadhay said, “In the past decade, digital adoption has grown exponentially, more so under Covid-19 restrictions. How do experts design for immersive ‘physical’ (example, in-store/in-class) experiences while leveraging the efficiency and instant gratification of the ‘digital’ world? This is the essence of ‘phygital’ — the combination of ‘physical’ and ‘digital’ for enhanced experiences.”
Dr Chattopadhay further added, “I am glad that JAGSoM has been able to attract some of the global thought leaders, faculty, research scholars, academic and industry leaders to deliberate and find answers to these issues in the ISDSI Global Conference 2022. I would like to congratulate those 150+ scholars across nations, whose papers are accepted for presentation.”
