I’m Nikita Rana, a corporate emcee in mumbai, and this moment unfolded at Taj Lands End Mumbai during the 11th edition of The Big CIO Show and Awards. As a corporate event host anchoring senior technology leaders, the responsibility is to create space for reflection, not just information. The audience here was composed of CIOs, data leaders, and decision makers shaping enterprise technology in India and South Asia.

As a corporate emcee, I transitioned the conversation from technical depth to personal perspective with Mr. Harshil Turakhia, Data and AI Portfolio SME for India and South Asia Market at IBM. His session focused on next generation data and AI platforms, but what stayed with the room was a single question. How would he want future generations to remember him. That shift reframed the session from capability to legacy, which is where anchoring corporate event conversations becomes meaningful.

The exchange moved fluidly between technology identity and human grounding. From identifying as tech savvy to acknowledging a personal love for food, the response landed with warmth and authenticity. These moments matter. They remind audiences that leadership in data and AI is still deeply human. As an anchor in mumbai, my role was to hold that balance, allowing insight to surface without interruption.

As the stage opened to the audience, the room responded with energy and anticipation. That is the power of corporate event anchoring done with intention. It is not about filling silence, but about guiding attention. As a female anchor in mumbai, I see this consistently. Senior rooms value clarity, respect, and pacing over performance.

My sincere thanks to Mr. Mithun Shetty, Co Founder and Vice Chairman at Trescon, and the Trescon team for curating a platform where conversations extend beyond slides and into substance. When leadership, content, and moderation align, the outcome speaks for itself.

If you are looking to hire anchor for event formats that require executive presence and thoughtful moderation, this is the work I do as a corporate mc.
