Maxme at DIDAC India 2025: Why Human Skills Still Win in an AI World
Asia’s largest event for Educational Resources and Technology-based products & solutions for all levels and segments of the Education Sector, the fifteenth DIDAC India arrived at a pivotal moment. AI has never moved faster, and yet, strangely, the world has never felt more in need of humans. As institutions race to adopt new tools and automate processes, a truth is emerging beneath the noise: technology can accelerate outcomes, but only people can create them.
Walking through the halls of DIDAC India this tension was everywhere. EduTech founders, educators, policymakers and industry leaders gathered to talk about the future of learning. But the real conversation wasn’t just about innovation. It was about identity.
What makes someone irreplaceable in a world where machines are evolving at pace??
There was unanimity across leaders and educators alike: Human skills.
Why human skills are still the hard advantage
AI is brilliant at speed, scale and precision. But ask it to navigate conflict, guide a team through uncertainty or spark creativity in the face of ambiguity, you quickly find its limits.
The “Elevating Human Potential” report states that:
‘83 percent of employees believe uniquely human skills will become even more important as AI grows. And 76 percent say they want more human connection — not less.’
For all its power, AI has unintentionally shone a spotlight back on the qualities we overlook: emotional intelligence, resilience, curiosity, communication and the ability to make meaning beyond data.
And this is exactly where Maxme steps in.
India’s human skill momentum is undeniable
This year, Maxme joined the Team Australia Pavilion at DIDAC India, showcasing how human skills development can transform classrooms, campuses and workplaces.
“AI can analyse the path. Humans decide which ones are worth taking.” Renata Sguario, Maxme Founder & CEO
Nilanjan Mukherji, Head of Sales & Marketing, reinforced what many leaders now recognise:
The organisations that prioritise human capability now will outpace those that rely on technology alone.
And Pushpa Nair, Director of Customer Engagement, summed up the momentum on the ground:
“Students and educators aren’t just curious. They’re ready.”
A movement, not a moment
Maxme’s presence at DIDAC India went beyond brand visibility. It was about anchoring a bigger conversation, one India is uniquely positioned to lead.
India’s education systems are being reshaped through the NEP 2020. Graduate employability is under scrutiny. Industry expectations are shifting faster than curricula. And the AI skills race is widening divides between campuses and organisations.
Human skills sit at the heart of the solution.
They are the capability that allows people to adopt, adapt, innovate and lead, no matter what technology comes next.
As Forbes notes,
“The real risk isn’t being out-automated. It’s being out-imagined.”
What’s next for Maxme in India
DIDAC India confirmed what we already believed: India is ready for a human-skills-first revolution.
And Maxme is committed to being part of that shift: partnering with schools, universities, teachers, faculty, professionals and leaders to help individuals and teams to build:
stronger communication
deeper self-awareness
confident collaboration
agile problem solving
emotionally intelligent leadership
Because in the age of AI, being technically capable will get you noticed, but being unmistakably human is what will set you apart. Success is human.
