Sudhir Pai, EVP & CTIO of Financial Services, Capgemini: Living in the Era of Technological Convergence
Join us for an insightful session exploring how exponential technological advancements are reshaping business landscapes. While hyperscalers release over 1,000 new services annually and AI breakthroughs accelerate, established enterprises—especially in regulated sectors—face challenges adapting at comparable speeds.
Our speaker will demonstrate how converging technologies like Agentic AI, advanced analytics, and heterogeneous computing are fundamentally transforming value chains, potentially allowing financial services to operate 3x faster at a fraction of current costs within three years.
Utilizing Capgemini's renowned TechnoVision framework, this interactive session will provide:
Strategic insights into foundational technology disruptions
A practical technology forecasting methodology
Enterprise-focused approaches to navigating complex technology trends
Frameworks for implementing transformation at scale
Attendees will have the chance to participate in a hands-on "TechnoVision cards play" exercise, identifying relevant technology convergences that drive stakeholder value—an essential skill for future business leaders.
