At NITSAN, events are never just about code. They are about people, learning and the kind of shared experiences that shape a strong, future‑ready team and the NITSAN AI CARNIVAL 2025 was the perfect embodiment of that spirit.

After several successful Coding Carnivals, one thing became clear: our work, our clients and our own products were moving deeper into AI every year. That is why the 2025 edition evolved from a pure Coding Carnival into the first NITSAN AI Carnival.

The focus shifted from “how we work today” to “how we use AI to work smarter across all teams”, keeping the same culture of fun and collaboration while aligning the entire event with our AI‑driven direction as a company.

This year’s carnival brought that spirit to life with AI workshops, themed days and many moments that reminded everyone why working together matters in an AI‑first world.

Day 1: Confidence Mode – Building Our AI Mindset

Setting the tone

Day 1 of NITSAN AI Carnival opened in full CONFIDENCE MODE. The office was transformed with sleek AI-themed decor and lighting that set a focused, celebratory tone the moment you walked in.

Everyone arrived in their best formal wear, adding to the sense that this was more than a regular workday. It felt like a conference and a festival at the same time, designed for learning, connection and ambition.

Inspiring Opening by the Founders

Our founders kicked off the day with an opening speech that framed why NITSAN is entering its next chapter as an AI‑driven company.

They spoke about 14+ years of building digital solutions and how the next decade will be defined by practical, business-focused AI.

They also underlined a clear message for the team: confidence in AI comes from understanding, experimentation and responsibility. The carnival, they said, was a place to practice all three.

AI panel with professors

Next came an AI panel discussion with invited IT professors, turning the room into a bridge between academia and industry.

The conversation explored how AI is reshaping education, software development, which skills students are learning today and what companies like NITSAN need from the next generation of engineers.

Team members asked questions about real-world AI use cases, ethics and long-term career paths. The discussion made it clear that AI is not a trend but a new layer in nearly every digital project.

Self-Learning and Team-Led Workshops

After the panel, the focus shifted to self‑learning and skill‑improvement sessions across the company. Team members prepared their own topics and led focused blocks on AI‑assisted development, prompt techniques and practical tooling for everyday work.

Workshops ran in small, cross‑team groups so people could learn from each other’s strengths and project experiences. Colleagues shared real use cases, walked through live demos and discussed where AI could take over repetitive tasks or raise delivery quality.

Session on AI‑Driven Smart Control Systems

A key highlight of the day was the dedicated session on AI‑Driven Smart Control Systems by Manthan Kathiriya.

He showed how AI models can monitor patterns, make predictions and trigger automated actions in complex environments, from industry use cases to digital platforms.

The talk connected architecture diagrams with concrete scenarios, helping the team see how such systems could be integrated into real NITSAN solutions. It left many participants thinking about how to apply similar ideas in their own domains.

Wrapping Up Day 1 with Fun
