Thanks #ETCIO for having Naren Kachroo and myself at this ETCIOCDO event. It was real fun presenting those wonderful demos on Google's Gen AI capabilities and we look forward to all the attendees using the goodness of Gemini in their Gen AI journeys . You can listen to this session here : https://lnkd.in/dgMz8Rcf As Enterprises move on from the early "science experiments" on to rapidly deploying production use cases of Gen AI, an effective AI strategy is key to early business outcomes. They can do this in 3 steps : 1) Establishing a clear vision : Integrate AI initiatives with your overall business strategy, aligning them with strategic priorities and identifying specific areas where AI can drive value. Aligning AI Themes /Domains ( bottoms up use cases) to Strategic Business priorities ( top down) drives better outcomes. 2) Prioritization of the right use cases : Evaluate potential AI applications by choosing High Value business cases which also score high on Feasibility and Actionability. 3) Measure and Track Progress : Define clear metrics to assess the performance of your AI initiatives throughout their lifecycle, for example Model Quality, adoption metrics, Operational metrics, System metrics and Business impact. A very important step in getting to successful outcomes while executing a Gen AI Strategy is the choosing of the Platform : Most importantly CIO's/CTO's/CDO's will need to evaluate the overall strength of the End to end AI platform as against just comparing models. a) Check on the Provider's in-house innovation and development. Google’s generative AI builds on over 20 years of internal R&D across search, databases, hardware, and AI. b) A Developer Friendly Platform: With a deeply integrated, vertically differentiated portfolio with 150+ curated State Of the Art Models to choose from including Gemini .#GCP is the only cloud provider to offer 1st party, 3rd party and open source models, which are directly integrated into a developer friendly platform with fully managed infrastructure.  And, our platform ensures you can maintain choice of model, tooling and infrastructure, so you can avoid vendor lock in in the future. All of these mean that Vertex AI is  the easiest way to build, deploy and manage AI agents. c) Enterprise Ready platform with Leading AI infrastructure : In addition to having access to leading (and a Managed) AI infrastructure platform, Enterprises need security, governance, privacy, and Responsible AI in practice. Enterprise readiness .Google is a leader at bringing enterprise-grade generative AI to organizations. 5) Deploying Agents: Lastly, we observe a significant trend in organizations building and using Gen AI agents and we can categorize them in these buckets - Customer Agents, Employee Agents, Creative Agents, Code Agents, Data Agents and Security Agents. We will dive deeper into each of the above in subsequent posts. #ETCIO #GCP #Gen AI

It was a very energizing #GoogleCloudNext at Las Vegas from April 9-11, and I reflect on Tata Consultancy Services’ spotlight session where I had the pleasure of hosting Sunil Cutinho, CIO of CME Group and Manoj Bohra, Managing Director - Google Cloud in a conversation about the transformation at CME Group leveraging the triad of Cloud, Data and AI. Here are a few points from our conversation that I found of particular interest: -Be bold in your vision and use an inspect and adapt approach to traverse the transformation. -Adopt an API first architecture for increased velocity of product releases by decoupling complexity, and let the API be used in a self-serve mode. -Build a unified data platform to deliver Insights-as-a-Service by making data accessible and putting it at one place, clean it and curate it to ensure that it is kept accurate as things change. Finally, to be able to present it to clients as ready insights that are easily consumable by them. -Leverage AI for developer productivity by using coding assistants to ensure that developer time is spent towards delivering features that turn into value. -Foster collaboration: It takes a village to make a transformation happen and that is where a seamless partnership between all partners is imperative to enable industry-defining transformation such as the one at CME Group. What I liked about this conversation is that it brought out the key architectural elements of the transformation as well as the power of the partnership between CME Group, Tata Consultancy Services, and Google Cloud. https://lnkd.in/g3Cxx_68 #TCSatGoogleCloudNext Sunil Cutinho Manoj Bohra Chaitanya Polavarapu Rakesh Kumar Abhay Raje Siva Ganesan Krishna Mohan Reddy Michael Manning Kevin Ichhpurani Victor Morales

**The Shift to Results-as-a-Service for CDOs and CIOs ** cc Gopal Ravi Vineet Rao Pooja Dewan ------------ As enterprises evolve, one thing is becoming clear: the shift to **Results-as-a-Service (RaaS)** is no longer just an option—it’s an inevitable transformation. This isn't just about improving IT operations; it's about delivering **tangible outcomes** that drive business value at every level. With platforms like **Databricks and Snowflake** CDOs and CIOs are uniquely positioned to lead this charge. Leveraging the platform's Agent Framework**, IT teams can now deploy AI agents to streamline operations, automate processes, and deliver faster results. This directly impacts the **end-user experience** by providing faster, more responsive services, reducing wait times, and enhancing overall satisfaction. But the benefits don't stop there. It enables **better budget management** by shifting focus from maintaining infrastructure to achieving specific, measurable outcomes. IT teams are no longer just maintaining systems—they're driving business growth CDOs and CIOs are transforming IT from a cost center into an **innovation hub**, delivering both operational efficiency and business growth.

This is a significant step forward in the way ALVA is pushing the boundaries on EV 2 wheelers in Indonesia!! It's one thing to say "we are a technology first and / driven company", but it's an entirely different thing to deploy technology across all aspects of the business - from manufacturing, distribution, point of sales, after sales, customer service, end user facing apps, IoT, enterprise functions like finance, procurement, etc. For ALVA, all the tech is directly aimed at delivering the best customer experience. Hence this partnership with Google Cloud couldn't come at a better time to push that even further!! Purbaja Pantja Fanly Tanto Putu Yudha (Adit) Redya Febriyanto Hilman Yoswandi - heartiest congratulations on making this happen!! (... and of course, a moment of celebration as a CSO & CIO 😊 ) #ALVA #alvaauto #googlecloud #technology #innovation #ev #data #Indonesia https://lnkd.in/gPQ2ya_C

This guy is delivering at a pace unheard of. Cloud migration in a week is a new benchmark. And most importantly, he has set a precedent for all Indian companies to move to cloud by Indian cos. In just a few crores cost of migration https://lnkd.in/dJPZx4ZW *A quick snapshot of Cloud market* Cloud computing has $300bn annual revenues. Globally, the top 3 players capture 2/3 of the market. 2023 revenues below: Amazon AWS - $90bn Microsoft Azure (Intelligent Cloud) - $88bn Google GCP - $33bn The top revenue drivers for these companies are not AI/ML but Computing & Storage - which is purely infra and commoditized i.e your traditional hard disk. Let's appreciate a startup founder who has the guts to stand against these global giants. Krutrim Ola #Cloud #India #BhavishAggarwal
