Prashant’s keynotes span the frontiers of enterprise change: from AI at scale, to technology-led industry transformation, to the new economics of buying technology services.
AI Without Illusions: Scaling Intelligence Across the Enterprise
AI at scale requires more than pilots and proofs of concept - it demands architectures, governance, and smart sourcing. This talk cuts through the hype, using real-world examples from banking, automotive, and consumer industries to show how enterprises are embedding AI into their core - and where others are failing.
The Next Five Years of Buying Tech: From Services to Outcomes
The old playbook of buying technology services is broken. Contracts, providers, and pricing are all shifting toward outcomes, not hours. With examples from large-scale cloud deals, AI-driven BPO, and digital infrastructure sourcing, this talk explores how enterprises are redefining value - and rewriting the rules of procurement.
Industries Rewired: Technology as the New Value Chain
Technology isn’t supporting industries anymore - it’s rewriting them. From autonomous driving in automotive, to digital sovereignty in banking, to platform-driven healthcare, this keynote shows how technology is becoming the new value chain itself - and what leaders must do to compete in transformed industries.
The Enterprise Stack Reimagined: Competing in the Intelligence Economy
The traditional enterprise stack is collapsing. In its place: a new architecture built on AI, data, and automation. Through examples from global manufacturers, financial services leaders, and tech-native firms, this keynote shows how winners are rebuilding their enterprise stack - and competing on intelligence, not infrastructure.
