The India Mobile Congress (IMC) 2025 is in full swing at Yashobhoomi, New Delhi, running from October 8 to 11. Thousands of delegates, top government officials, and hundreds of tech exhibitors are gathering to showcase the future of telecom, AI, mobility, and digital solutions. Day 2 of the event turned heads with cutting-edge launches, smart solutions for education, mobility, and public welfare. Here’s a deep dive into what made the second day of IMC truly remarkable. Jio AI Classroom programme Jio launched its AI Classroom foundation course during IMC 2025 in collaboration with the Jio Institute. This free beginner-level program is aimed at students, young learners, and anyone curious about artificial intelligence. How to access: Learners can enrol online and access the course via JioPC on PCs, laptops, or smart TVs through their Jio set-top boxes. Course highlights: The programme focuses on practical and hands-on learning. It helps students understand AI fundamentals and apply them in everyday situations. Key features include: Why it matters: The Jio AI Classroom initiative is more than a course, it’s a step towards creating AI-literate students who can use technology to solve problems, organise information, and innovate in creative ways. Ericsson’s AI-based robot dog Ericsson showcased an AI-powered robot dog designed to inspect driverless trains. The robot moves along automated railcars, detecting hardware and software issues. How it works: Why it’s useful: Future potential: This technology could eventually monitor entire transport networks autonomously, reducing human error and maintenance costs while boosting operational reliability. Annapurti: India’s 5G grain ATM Ericsson, in partnership with the World Food Programme, introduced ‘Annapurti,’ a 5G-enabled grain ATM.
Annapurti, also known as GrainATM, is a smart machine that releases food grains once a user verifies their identity through biometric authentication, delivering up to 50 kg in just minutes. How it works: Current deployment: Why it’s useful: Annapurti ensures quick, transparent, and fair distribution of essential grains, addressing issues of crowding and mismanagement at traditional ration outlets.
Its speed and precision can help governments and NGOs distribute food efficiently in urban and rural areas alike. StethoECG: Portable heart monitoring stethoscope Ericsson and IIT Madras jointly developed StethoECG, a handheld digital stethoscope with an integrated ECG system. How it works: Why it’s useful: IMC 2025 is proving to be a platform where innovative technologies meet practical solutions, creating a vision for India’s digital future.
