Agentic AI: From Buzz to Business Transformation

Agentic AI is more than a buzzword — it’s a fundamental shift in how enterprises build, operate, and innovate with artificial intelligence. In this keynote, Sanjay Srivastava uses real-world examples to bring out the concept of agentic AI, and how Agentic AI is different from AI Agents. He explains how agentic AI systems are designed not just to automate, but to pursue goals, adapt autonomously, and collaborate fluidly with people and other systems — opening the door to a new era of enterprise capability. Sanjay explores where agentic AI is already delivering results today, and what it takes to move from pilot to production in enterprise settings. He introduces the three critical human roles that shape this transition — the builder, the translator, and the user — and how each must evolve. Looking ahead, Sanjay explores how organizations evolve to thrive in the age of agentic AI, including: Skilling: Rethinking how we develop talent in AI-native environments; Operating Models: Shifting from workflows to dynamic agent networks; and Organization Structures: Reimagining decision rights, governance, and collaboration between humans and machines.
