It was pleasure to host the amazing Shereen Bhan from CNBC-TV18 at TCS Silicon Valley office in Santa Clara. Sharing a short video of our conversation (full Interview: https://lnkd.in/dqRTUWQY). Below are some of my reflections from our discussion: (1) Technology innovation curve is exponential while enterprise adoption curve is linear. Scaled GAI adoption in enterprises must address people change (GAI’s role as assistive, augmentative or transformative to the work people do today) & governance (access, consistency, sustainability, data & IP etc) aspects. Large scale enterprise adoption will therefore be a marathon rather than a sprint. (2) Overall IT services spending is stable, albeit in a goldilocks situation – Neither too hot for enterprises to go all-in on large capex initiatives nor too cold to pull-back with deep spending cuts. There are tailwinds in the form of consumer demand, employment rates & technology innovation and headwinds coming from rising government & consumer debt, inflation & interest rates. Regardless, technology spending will continue to stay strong over the long term given the 3 multi-decadal transitions ahead of us – AI, Energy & Supply Chain. (3) GAI has kindled the next S-curve for Enterprise IT: Driving hyper-productivity in the back/mid-office and hyper-creativity in the front-office. Unlike previous technologies which were ‘additive’ in nature, to unlock this next S-curve, Enterprises will need to take a greenfield approach to change. With over $150 Mn in annual funding, TCS Research has developed several platforms like TCS’ WisdomNext (https://lnkd.in/dgmN-Su8) & Ignio (https://digitate.com), to turbocharge the journey towards creating the Enterprise of Future. (4) With over 50 years of serving clients in United States, our commitment to our largest & home market has never been stronger. Together with our clients, partners & employees, we are focused on building greater futures through innovation and collective knowledge. We are deeply invested in supporting the community through one of the largest STEM training program in the country that has positively impacted over 2 million American kids. Through our partnerships with marathons in Boston, Chicago, and the TCS New York City Marathon, we are inspiring new generations of runners and encouraging families to pursue active lifestyles.

🎉I've earned yet another certificate "𝑳𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂 𝑻𝒆𝒄𝒉𝒏𝒐𝒍𝒐𝒈𝒚-𝑫𝒓𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒏 𝑶𝒓𝒈𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒛𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏", part of the prestigious Wharton Executive Education | CTO Program 🚀 Tech-driven organizations—those for which technology is a fundamental part of their operation—are known for their ability to move quickly and innovate. Unlike other sectors, those who lead tech-driven organizations also face unique challenges, from the characteristics of their workforce and culture to the uncertainty created by the technology itself, which they don’t typically own or have the ability to contain internally. As such, effectively leading a tech-driven organization requires an external focus in terms of how employees and teams operate. Thank you, Wharton faculty, industry experts, and my cohort classmates for your tutoring, guidance, and collaboration throughout this journey. #Wharton #TechnologyAcceleration #Leadership #ContinuousLearning #ProfessionalGrowth Wharton Executive Education | CTO Program Wharton Executive Education
