Speaking at the BT Best B-Schools & HR Summit, author Ashwin Sanghi said there were apprehensions even when Google and Wikipedia were launched. "But, Google and Wikipedia became starting points of research. Similarly, I have been using chatgpt a lot. It is a tool, if you can use such tools, you can enhance your work. It can't be an end-all and be-all. I don't see it as a challenge, I see it as one more tool in your arsenal to be a better writer and researcher," he said.
"People think that because they have gone through certain education, they are handcuffed to a certain profession," author Ashwin Sanghi said.
"Rejection is part and parcel of life. Many authors like JK Rowling, and Stephen King's first manuscripts have been rejected a multitude of times. It's fine to be rejected and wait for your time. What is important is to remain firm," said author Ashwin Sanghi at BT Best B-Schools & HR Summit
