Agenda

Sandip Patel, Managing Director, IBM India & South Asia will reflect on the inflection point where technology is set to accelerate India’s journey

Technology is now the key to driving growth, productivity and competitive advantage. In this keynote, you will see how AI, automation, and hybrid cloud are enabling businesses to unlock the full value of their data, allowing them to innovate in new ways, boost productivity, and improve operational efficiency. Learn how smaller, open, fit-for-purpose AI models can help you achieve measurable ROI faster and how quantum computing will combine with AI to solve seemingly impossible challenges.

Among organizations that have adopted generative AI, 64% of CEOs say succeeding with generative AI will depend more on people’s adoption than the technology itself (IBV). For enterprises to seize productivity gains from AI, it needs to be easier for the people using it day-to-day. For many, that means better integration with the many workforce tools employees already use. Learn how companies are developing AI agents that act with greater autonomy, then scale them across diverse environments to deliver impact across their business. Discover how to manage your AI assistants and agents in a more unified, adaptable experience that safeguards both current and future investments.
