We’ve just entered The 4th Industrial Revolution. Machines are getting smarter by the day and automation is changing the way the world works. As exciting as it seems, there is a very real concern among most people; how do we stay relevant if almost everything has been automated?

Discover how some of the hardest challenges in life such as these can be overcome starting with some of the simplest practices every day. Arun Kumar started off as an oil & gas engineer in the USA and Australia, traveling 80% of the time, learning different cultures and demographics from meeting people all over the world. At some point he realized that his passion was not just on the industry and technology, but also on communities especially the younger generation. He eventually returned home and ventured into social and community works. Arun then got back into the corporate scene with a tech start-up he co-founded and steered towards being one of the top 20 start-ups in the world for a smart city program in Dubai. Arun is currently the Digital Initiatives Lead at Leaderonomics, where he innovates great learning solutions for organizations. He is an active speaker among colleges and youth camps, and occasionally prints his thoughts on Industry 4.0 and leadership onto the Leaderonomics pullout. Arun has spoken on BFM's Raise Your Game a couple of times, and is a firm believer in the power of truth and purpose. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
