What does building a data-driven culture mean for Social Purpose Organisations? Organisations in the social sector understand the importance of data and data-driven solutions for creating impact at scale. But there’s a lot more that goes into building a data-driven culture. It is more than just having the right tools—it is also about adopting practices that prioritise data at every level of your organisation, promoting data literacy, and using data to make everyday decisions. Are you ready to build a data-driven culture within your organisation? Then, your next step should be to discover how data-mature your organisation is.

We are incredibly excited to launch our Tech Consulting practice.    Our clients across the globe have repeatedly told us about the challenges they face in harnessing the power of #technology – disparate multiple systems that impact the quality and timeliness of information available for decision making; practical adoption of AI/GenAI to solve real-world problems; and heightened cyber and other tech risks, with adoption of #AI posing an additional level of risk and governance challenges. The solutions to these challenges are often intuitive but difficult to implement without deep knowledge of underlying domains.   Our practice is designed to address these challenges to solve core complex business problems holistically by combining deep functional knowledge in the areas of #finance, #risk, and #sustainability with equally deep tech knowledge and experience. Further, given that Uniqus Tech Consulting is designed as an AI-first practice, it will integrate the power of this new technology for implementing solutions for clients.   We will seek to support our clients in four key areas - Digitization & Automation; Data & Analytics; Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning and Technology & Cyber Risk. Our practice will be aided by Uniqus’ existing and future suite of proprietary tech products, including UniQuest (AI-powered research product) and ESG UniVerse (cloud-based ESG solution). Abhijit Varma, based in the US, will lead our Tech Consulting practice globally. Abhijit has over 25 years of experience in Analytics, AI, Automation, and Cyber Risk. Bharat Chadha, a leader with 17 years of experience in technology implementation and digital transformation, will work closely with Abhijit on the build. We have also onboarded Anupreet Kaur, Hammad Malik, and Kunal Gandhi – all leaders with significant tech consulting experience. We are grateful to our clients, people, investors, and the wider ecosystem that has wholeheartedly supported Uniqus over the last 20 months. We look forward to your continued support as we build this new practice.

📄 Chief Strategy Officer Survey 2024 📄 Monitor Deloitte's annual CSO survey reveals that, despite heightened uncertainty, CSOs remain optimistic, resilient, and dedicated to evolution. Geopolitical instability and financial market volatility set a challenging stage for global corporations, which also must address shifting consumer and stakeholder expectations, complex regulatory landscapes, and rapid technological advancements. Key takeaways: 💰 Investment Shifts: Significant reallocation toward AI (+63 points), Data (+35 points), and Ecosystems (+28 points), each closely linked and driving future capabilities. ⚠️ Top Challenges: CSOs cite balancing time horizons (short-term goals vs. long-term vision), managing talent and labor shortages, and navigating competing strategic priorities. 🚀 Future-Ready Strategy Traits: Organizations that are resilient (data-driven), agile (action-oriented), bold (tech-savvy), and inclusive (open to external perspectives) are more optimistic and well-prepared for the future. It’s noteworthy that while AI is broadly embraced to drive efficiency and productivity, and ecosystems are leveraged to fuel growth, innovation, and new business models, few companies envision AI itself as a generator of new revenue streams. This focus on cost-saving over value creation suggests there’s untapped potential for AI to contribute directly to growth and competitive differentiation.

45% of CEOs believe their company will not be viable in ten years if it stays on its current path. Reports PwC in its 27th Global Annual CEO Survey. CEOs expect more pressure over the next three years than they experienced over the previous five from technology, climate change, and nearly every other megatrend affecting global business. 60% of CEOs expect #generativeai to create efficiency benefits to help relieve some routine burdens like decision-making meetings to emails. Four in ten CEOs report that they have accepted lower hurdle rates for #climatefriendly investments. Two-thirds of CEOs report a reallocation of resources (financial and human) of 20% or less year to year. CEOs are twice as likely to expect the global economy to improve this year compared to last year PwC research finds that top companies focus not only on their business model but also on the operating and technology models that enable it—and they do so continuously, addressing mindset change and management challenges involved. Among other survival options, experts at PwC suggest companies need to focus on what it does best and invest in service partnerships to close operating-model capability gaps and keep pace with technology advancements. The good news is the reward for getting it right is also huge: winning companies capture a performance premium, measured as the combined effect of profit margin and revenue growth, adjusted by industry, worth more than 13 times that of their peers.

Seeing one's profile and article featured in Forbes is an incredible moment of joy and pride! Bharath Vaddi and I collaborated to share our perspectives on how advancements in AI, particularly Generative AI, can revolutionize sustainable fulfillment and compliance demonstration for banks and financial institutions. Our viewpoints are published in the November 29th edition of Forbes India, now available on newsstands and their official website - Digital edition, Page 53 In the article, we delve into the practicality of creating AI-driven platforms augmented with human-centric operational frameworks to address next-generation challenges in data management, risk management, and sustainable global compliance. We emphasize that this transformation demands a multi-year strategy with regular recalibration to adapt to evolving technologies, regulatory landscapes, cross-jurisdictional mandates, advancements in data governance standards, and a tailored cloud adoption approach. Notably, as a recent development, the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) plans for sovereign cloud services aim to counter potential risks global cloud players pose while addressing critical data sovereignty concerns - https://lnkd.in/gNF3xRAQ You may download the article at - https://lnkd.in/ghwVxr8d Or read at Jionews (yet to be uploaded) - https://lnkd.in/g2XsaKkJ Please note that this article is entirely independent of our work at Standard Chartered or any of the organizations we’ve previously been associated with.
