I had an interesting discussion with Thomas K Thomas of #HinduBusinessLine on the sidelines of #NvidiaAISummit in Mumbai. We covered a lot of ground - Dell AI Strategy, how a "customer zero" mindset shapes our views on how we serve our customers with #DellAIFactory including PCs, important role of AI in driving business strategy and important opportunities for India in AI. If you haven't started yet on using AI to drive innovation, growth, productivity and/or enhancing your customer/employee experiences, then you may already be too late! (not to worry - we can help you get started and accelerate!). Mahesh Jayaram Alok Ohrie #iwork4dell #DellTechnologies #DellAIFactory

As GCCs in India evolve, they're shifting from being just cost-saving hubs to key contributors to their parent companies' strategic goals, aligning their value delivery with broader business objectives. What lessons do GCCs higher up on the maturity curve hold for the upcoming ones on building a culture of innovation? That was the question discussed in a panel of senior GCC leaders recently hosted by Publicis Sapient in association with Times Techies by The Times of India. Read the full story. #GCCs #Innovation

I recently had an enriching conversation with Gulveen Aulakh and Shouvik Das from LiveMint, where we delved into the exciting developments in India’s AI landscape. We explored how trailblazers and AI first movers are setting new benchmarks in innovation. Microsoft's strategic alliances with leading IT firms and pioneering initiatives like Bhashini are powering a new wave of AI-centric solutions across industries. With over 500 enterprises harnessing the power of Azure OpenAI and a tenfold increase in Copilot usage over the past six months, it’s evident that India’s AI revolution is on the rise!

Human Intelligence is limited and can take in and capture only that much and a bit more when pushed, however when it comes to machines it’s vaster than what we can imagine. Now is this news revealing new trends or was it always there and being brought to light slowly! What are your thoughts ? Were the experts always worried of things like this happening ? https://lnkd.in/geFUBzxb

🔝🦾AI firms want🇮🇳India to fast-track compute infra❕ 🔻In absence of any funding support from #venturecapitals, currently a lot of startups are not getting access to the right compute infra. ⚙️Artificial intelligence (#AI) infrastructure and software companies like #AMD, #Nvidia, Ola Krutrim, Reliance Jio, #Microsoft, People + AI and Yotta have urged the government to expedite creating compute infrastructure in the country as well as focus on sovereignty in AI systems. ⚡️This assumes significance as the government is looking to create a compute infrastructure through procurement of graphic processing units (GPUs) for startups that are looking for a variety of these chips to train their models. In absence of any funding support from venture capitals, currently a lot of startups are not getting access to the right compute infra. Read more…

𝐈𝐬 𝐀𝐈 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐲 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐰𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐮𝐧𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭? It seems like we’re seeing a trend where tech advancements are reshaping the job market in drastic ways. What are your thoughts on this?

India’s Global Capability Centers (#GCCs) are experiencing a significant transformation. Recent data indicates that approximately one-third of existing GCCs are expanding their presence within the country, with half aiming to do so within the next five years. This trend is driven by the need for diverse talent and the desire to mitigate risks associated with location concentration. By establishing multiple centers across various regions, companies can tap into a broader talent pool and ensure operational resilience. The impact of this expansion is substantial. GCCs contribute over 1% to India’s GDP and significantly boost service exports. The market size of India’s GCCs is projected to grow from $64.6 billion in fiscal 2024 to between $99 billion and $105 billion by 2030. This growth is not limited to traditional tech hubs like Bengaluru and Hyderabad. There’s a noticeable shift towards Tier 2 cities, offering cost advantages and access to untapped talent. As we witness this evolution, several questions arise: 1) How can organizations ensure that their multi-GCC strategy aligns with their global objectives while catering to local dynamics? 2) What measures should be taken to maintain a cohesive corporate culture across multiple centers in diverse locations? 3) How can companies leverage the unique strengths of each region to foster innovation and drive global competitiveness? #gics #techoutsourcing #beyondmetros #talentavailability Follow us on #ceosgurukul #firsttimeceos https://lnkd.in/dmg4m2E7

As per Stanton Jones at the recently concluded NASSCOM Conclave Global capability centers (GCCs) that are not highly specialized – or have not achieved scale – will likely see headwinds over the next two years as macroeconomic conditions change and AI evolves. What are your thoughts? Very insightful and forward thinking article: https://lnkd.in/gfS8fayb

The #ProfileEconomy introduces a revolutionary concept where individuals, past and present, can exist digitally through sophisticated #AI technology, enabling them to interact in real-time across multiple platforms simultaneously. This evolution democratizes access to knowledge, allowing people to engage with experts, historical figures, and influencers without geographical or temporal limitations. By harnessing graph databases, natural language processing, and AI, Digital Humans can respond to questions, offer personalized advice, and facilitate real-time learning. While this offers exciting opportunities for education, healthcare, and beyond, it also presents ethical and regulatory challenges that must be addressed for responsible use.

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

I was privileged to attend an extremely simple, yet insightful session on leadership by Mr. Vijay Sethi at the CIO&Leader conference as an ITNext100 Future CIO awardee. He shared 5 mantra's which essentially are integral for building the basic character for being a good leader. 1. Have good work ethics 2. Always have a positive attitude. 3. Nurture & inspire our teams 4. Focus on regularly enhancing our knowledge 5. Be a good human being. All of the above is nothing, if the leader does not demonstrate integrity, he said. One thing that resonated with me the most was his statement - "Good leaders do not create followers, they create more good leaders.". This statement brought back memories of my first tryst with formal leadership education when as a beginner in my professional journey I read the book, Good to Great - Jim Collins, where the author talks about Level 5 leadership who channelize their energies to build successors for their organizations. Something which had become a benchmark of my perspective of good leadership ever since. Creating perpetual organizations which transcend individuals. Of course, Mr. Vijay was talking about building good leaders at societal and business community level, which transcends organizations. As Dr. Prashun Dutta shared in his insights, it is our duty to repay the debt to society by contributing back and enabling others to become good leaders. All in all, a memorable and insightful weekend, where stalwarts took us back to first principles. Thanks Mr. Vijay Sethi & Dr. Prashun Dutta for sharing your thoughts with us in a very simple manner. #CIOandLeaderConference #CIOs #TechLeaders #25thCIOandLeader #cioandleader

In the rapidly evolving technological landscape, organizations must continuously adapt and innovate to remain competitive. The advent of cloud computing and generative AI has catalyzed unprecedented advancements, prompting numerous organizations to undertake transformative projects over the past decade. Indian companies, in particular, have the opportunity to unlock new heights in technology innovation by adopting a product-driven mindset over individual-centric approaches. By leveraging established strengths and focusing on scalable, user-centered solutions, Indian companies can position themselves for sustained growth and success. Both innovation and growth often rest on the foundation of prior efforts, particularly in the context of advanced technological platforms. When joining an established project, it is crucial to recognize the depth and complexity of the existing groundwork. Effective leadership entails understanding and valuing the groundwork, guiding it to new heights rather than resorting to a reset. Sometimes, the real challenge lies not in starting from scratch but in leveraging existing strengths to achieve further success. Reinventing the wheel often signals missed opportunities, a lack of understanding of existing technology, and, more importantly, a failure of leadership to leverage established capabilities effectively. #Innovation #TechTransformation #BuildOnStrengths #TechInnovation #GenerativeAI #ProductMindset #CloudTechnology #Leadership #DigitalTransformatio #FutureOfWork

India's GDP can be around 100 tr $ in ppp by 2047.(I am talking of GDP in ppp as dollar will probably significantly drop in 2030s - 2040s given the enormity of debt in USA). To achieve that the services sector has to reach atleast 10 tr $ in ppp per year by 2047.This is only possible if India becomes a major hub of advanced technologies AI, robotics, fintech, medtech etc. GCC lays the foundation for that. India also need to become the healthcare capital of the world. This is as per my macroeconomic research. Thanks Best regards Arnab #india #future #gcc #nasscom #artificialintelligence #ai #robotics #narendramodi #investor
