Soon, AI won’t just support your business; it will define it. Sandip Patel will open by framing Hybrid Cloud, AI and Quantum as the frontier technologies shaping India’s next phase of growth, and explore the opportunity for enterprises to become AI-first — closing the widening AI divide between ambition and outcomes. This sets the context for Digital Swaraj and India’s journey towards Viksit Bharat. The session will also show how IBM is helping enterprises harness these technologies to drive real competitive advantage, while looking ahead to the emerging potential of quantum computing.​

The agentic enterprise depends on three essentials: real-time data, real-time execution, and the flexibility to deploy AI across environments while preserving sovereignty and autonomy. In this session, discover how AI-ready data platforms are unifying enterprise data and making it available in motion. Learn how leading organizations are turning insights into action, operationalizing AI at scale, and deploying intelligent systems across hybrid environments. Explore how a sovereign foundation enables governance, compliance, and operational resilience—helping enterprises scale agentic AI with confidence.​
