Asana Hosts Work Innovation Tour (WIT India) to Showcase the Future of Human + AI Collaboration

Mumbai, November 21, 2025: Asana, a leading work management platform for human + AI collaboration, today concluded its Work Innovation Tour in Mumbai, bringing together enterprise leaders and practitioners to explore how human + AI collaboration can drive clarity and execution at scale. Held at the Courtyard by Marriott Mumbai International Airport, the event showcased how organizations can move beyond automation to build workflows that strengthen decision-making and reduce work about work.

As AI adoption accelerates across Indian enterprises, teams face a critical challenge: integrating AI in ways that enhance rather than fragment work. According to recent industry insights, organizations risk increasing complexity when AI tools operate in silos, making clarity and connected workflows more essential than ever.

The day opened with a keynote on the future of human + AI collaboration, where Ms. Jo Gaines, Head of Channel APJ, at Asana shared how organisations can move beyond basic automation and use AI to support better decisions across teams. Attendees also heard how Asana AI helps people understand context, spot risks early, and bring scattered work into one place so everyone stays connected.

"As AI becomes embedded in how work gets done, clarity becomes the competitive advantage," said Vishnu Prasad, Head of South Asia at Asana. "The most effective human + AI collaboration amplifies judgment and decision-making. When teams have connected workflows and the right context at the right time, they can move from coordination overhead to strategic execution. That's the shift we're seeing with forward-thinking organizations in India."

Following the keynote, Shannon Tjang, Solutions Engineer at Asana, demonstrated how cross-functional teams use connected workflows to eliminate bottlenecks and reduce repetitive coordination. Through live examples spanning marketing campaigns, product launches, and operational processes, attendees saw how integrated work management reduces delays and creates a single source of truth across departments.

A customer panel featuring leaders from Artha Group and 99acres provided ground-level insights into transformation challenges. Panelists discussed how they've addressed common pain points, including unclear task ownership, distributed information, and cross-team dependencies, and shared measurable improvements in project delivery speed and stakeholder alignment since implementing Asana.

Reflecting on the opportunity in India, Jo Gaines, Head of Channel APJ, at Asana, said, "India represents one of the most dynamic markets for work innovation globally. Organizations here are fundamentally rethinking how work scales. We're seeing strong demand for platforms that bring structure to complexity and enable teams to collaborate with clarity. Indian enterprises are at the forefront of defining what effective human + AI collaboration looks like at scale."

The event concluded with a fireside chat between Vishnu Prasad and entrepreneur and author Ankur Warikoo, exploring how leadership evolves in an AI-augmented workplace. Their discussion examined the cultural foundations such as psychological safety, transparent decision-making, and adaptive learning that enable organizations to harness technological change without losing human judgment and creativity.

The Work Innovation Tour India demonstrates Asana's commitment to helping organizations build work systems that scale with clarity and purpose. As enterprises navigate rapid technological change, the event reinforced that sustainable success comes from platforms that connect people, process, and AI in ways that drive measurable business impact.
