  • How Open-Ended Multi-Turn Agentic Workflows and Human Ambidexterity Unlock Business Value Generative AI (Gen AI) and Agentic Workflows are transforming enterprise operations from marketing and supply chains to product design and customer support. Leaders face a critical question today: How to adopt Agentic Workflows while preserving control, creativity and trust? The answer lies in Individual Ambidexterity (IA), which refers to balancing efficiency with creativity, automation with human judgment and routine with innovative work. Four Archetypes of Agentic Workflow-Supported Work: Design & Innovation (Generalist, Non-Routine): Accelerates product cycles, reduces market risk. Data Analysis & Insight (Specialist, Non-Routine): Enhances decision precision, strategic foresight. Customer Service (Generalist, Routine): Scales 24/7 support efficiently, improves consistency. Content Generation (Specialist, Routine): Delivers personalized, compliant content rapidly. The Roadmap to Driving Safe and Effective AI Adoption Risk Management Human oversight, staff rotation, governance, reskilling, and tiered automation ensure trust and consistent performance. Leadership Approach Treat AI as a co-pilot, pilot before scaling, prioritize ethics, and develop ambidextrous talent. The AMBIDEX Framework Provides a clear roadmap to design, scale, and govern AI-enabled operations responsibly. Human + Agent success favors those who think broadly and act deeply.

  • The age of Generative AI products is here, but for the builders and product leaders in the trenches, a stark reality has set in. The path from a brilliant model to a production-grade, scalable application is fraught with compromise. Today, every product leader is trapped in a GenAI Product Trilemma, forced to make an impossible choice for their roadmap: - Time-to-Market: Use a hyperscaler for rapid prototyping, but watch your unit economics collapse and your product roadmap become beholden to unpredictable costs as you scale. - ⁠Control & Governance: Build it all yourself for ultimate control over the user experience, but accept a multi-year journey that risks missing the market window entirely. - ⁠Product Velocity: Attempt to stitch together a fragmented, multi-vendor stack, only to see your development teams slowed by technical debt and operational complexity, killing their ability to innovate. This session, led by Neysa's Chief Product Officer, Karan Kirpalani, argues that this is a false choice. He will deconstruct these product development trade-offs and introduce a new architectural blueprint: the sovereign, full-stack AI cloud. This emerging "Neo Cloud" model is purpose-built to resolve the trilemma, providing a platform with the agility of a public cloud and the control, performance, and predictable economics of a dedicated environment—freeing product teams to build, not just manage infrastructure.

  • In 2023-24, enterprises dove headfirst into AI experimentation, rolling out pilot projects and proofs of concept. By 2025, teams across organizations are generating a flood of new ideas: exploring automation, scaling promising use cases, orchestrating agentic workflows and supercharging productivity. Yet, as the possibilities multiplied, leaders are left asking: How do we implement these opportunities at scale, and with speed? The answer doesn’t lie in technology alone. Few leaders fully recognize that one of AI’s most powerful enablers, and at times its biggest barrier, is the intersection of technology, processes and people. To advance up the AI maturity curve, organizations need more than innovation; they need leadership that aligns technology strategy with talent, culture and vision. This session will draw on insights on how enterprises can lead the way by balancing experimentation with execution. It explores where leadership and technical teams are aligned, where they diverge, and what today’s business leaders must do to bridge that gap. We’ll discuss how enterprises can shift from chasing quick wins like productivity gains and efficiencies, to orchestrating AI for larger strategic goals: stronger customer experiences, tangible ROI and resilient business models. The talk will also highlight the role of the latest tools, accelerators and more in helping enterprises realize the true impact of AI efforts.

  • India's cities weren’t built for the volume of movement they now endure. City commutes are stretching lives and roads are maxed out. Metro systems are still playing catch-up. And traditional mobility solutions are no longer enough. In this session, Adrian dives into how urban air mobility (UAM), powered by eVTOL aircrafts, and smart aerial infrastructure can offer India a rare chance to leapfrog its mobility crisis. More than air taxis, this is about: Building aerial corridors for intra-city short-haul commutes. Turning rooftops into vertiports. Creating job opportunities in piloting, manufacturing, and maintenance. And doing it all from India, for India. Because maybe the solution to India’s commute crisis isn’t adding more wheels to the road — it’s building a completely new layer above it. A future where flying becomes functional. Where every Indian, not just a few, can rise above traffic. And where air becomes the most democratic space we’ve ever designed. Because fixing India’s commute may not be about improving the road.

  • Regulation is the biggest risk on your alpha” – Anuraag Saxena

    Tech Policy & Regulation has historically lagged tech-innovation by a few years. Post-facto regulation becomes an enabler in some cases. In most others, it builds hurdles and limitations to new innovation, investor-confidence, and business continuity. Information asymmetry, biases, conditioning, social dynamics, and media narratives often dictate tech-policy, instead of rational, technical debate. However, where frameworks for responsibility, transparency, and user protection were proactively adopted, trust followed — creating space for innovation to grow. This keynote will explore how lessons from Gaming, Social Media, and Public Technologies can inform AI’s path forward: shaping credible self-regulation, enabling constructive dialogue with policymakers, embedding safeguards for users, and strengthening digital literacy. By bridging innovation with governance, we can build an ecosystem where AI’s growth is not just rapid, but also trusted and safe.
