Topic: AI in the SDLC: From Experimentation to Enterprise Advantage

AI is redefining how software is built.

AI is rapidly becoming a core layer of the software delivery lifecycle. The leadership challenge is no longer whether to use AI in the SDLC—but how to scale it in a way that preserves speed, restores trust, and maintains control. We are looking at this from three key lenses:

• Enterprise Perspective: How do we institutionalize AI in software delivery without slowing it down—or losing control?
• Engineering Perspective: What does an AI-native engineering workflow look like that improves both speed and quality?
• Market Perspective: In a world where models change fast, what will enterprises pay for—and stick with?

The Industrialization Gap: Straight Talk on What It Actually Takes to Make Enterprise AI Stick

Most enterprises are not short of AI ambition or AI spending. They are short of the unfiltered truth about why industrialization keeps slipping and what the few who’ve crossed that threshold actually did differently.

Only ~30% of organizations have reached maturity level 3+ in AI strategy and governance. It’s not because the technology is immature, but because the hardest problems are organizational, architectural, and deeply human. In this closed-door session, senior executives from Retail, Banking, and Insurance will hear first-hand from peers who have navigated the inflection point — the data decisions that couldn’t be delegated, the governance structures that enabled rather than entombed, and the cloud foundations that turned isolated models into enterprise-grade capability. Hosted by Brillio and Amazon Web Services, this is a room built for candour.

• Only ~30% of organizations have reached maturity level 3+ in AI strategy and governance
• Only a minority of enterprises who have invested USD 25 million & above report AI-driven EBIT impact above 5%
• Only 27% have fully embedded an AI strategy across business units, and just 37% are comfortable assigning AI agents to execute full end-to-end processes in operations
• 87% say poor data quality has hampered their progress in achieving value

What you will leave with:

• The unspoken decisions that determine whether AI compounds or stagnates: Peer accounts of the data ownership, cloud architecture, and organizational calls that textbooks don’t cover and that consultants rarely surface, drawn from executives who made them under real business pressure.
• A governance blueprint that gives AI teams speed without surrendering control: How enterprises in regulated industries built risk, compliance, and model-oversight structures that accelerated deployment by replacing performative guardrails with frameworks that actually reduce exposure while preserving velocity.

The cloud and data foundation beneath every AI success story: A practitioner’s view of the architectural choices from data modernization to scalable AI infrastructure on AWS that distinguish enterprises whose AI grows more valuable over time from those whose pilots quietly expire.

Accelerating agentic AI adoption across data, platforms, and operating models for real enterprise impact

As organizations accelerate their investments in AI, the challenge is no longer experimentation – it is scaling adoption across the enterprise to deliver real business impact. Across financial services, insurance, payments, healthcare, and life sciences, leaders are under pressure to move beyond isolated pilots and unlock meaningful, organization-wide transformation.

This executive forum will bring together senior leaders from regulated industries to explore how AI adoption can be accelerated at scale. In collaboration with OpenAI, the discussion will focus on agentic AI, process reimagination, and the alignment of data, platforms, and operating models – enabling organizations to overcome adoption barriers and translate AI investments into measurable outcomes.

Key Discussion Themes:

• From AI Pilots to Enterprise Adoption – Why most organizations stall at the POC stage, and what it takes to industrialize AI across the enterprise.
• Agentic AI and the Next Phase of Enterprise Transformation – How organizations are moving from isolated models to systems that reason, orchestrate, and act across workflows.
• The Adoption Challenge: What’s Slowing AI Down – Understanding the real barriers – data readiness, platform limitations, governance, operating models – and how to overcome them.
• Reimagining Processes for AI at Scale – Why AI adoption requires redesigning core business processes – not just deploying models on top of existing systems.
• Aligning Data, Platforms, and Architecture for AI – How modern data foundations, platforms, and infrastructure must evolve to enable scalable, enterprise-grade AI.
• Driving Measurable Impact from AI Investments – How organizations are linking AI adoption to productivity gains, operating model transformation, and business outcomes.

What to Expect:

• A Strategic Conversation on Scaling AI – Not Just Experimenting – A candid discussion on what it truly takes to move AI from pilots to enterprise-wide adoption.
• Cross-Industry Perspectives from Regulated Environments – Insights from leaders across financial services, insurance, payments, healthcare, and life sciences facing similar challenges.
• Real-World Lessons on Driving AI Adoption – Practical perspectives on what’s working, and what isn’t – in accelerating adoption across large organizations.
• A Clear View of the Barriers – and How to Overcome Them – Understanding the organizational, technical, and operational challenges slowing AI down today.

Scaling Agentic AI Across BFSI Core with Microsoft & NVIDIA
Transforming operations, decisions, and customer experiences for the AI-first era

Overview:

As financial institutions move beyond digital transformation, a new frontier is emerging—one where AI is not just augmenting processes but becoming the operating layer of the enterprise. The shift from predictive and generative AI to agentic AI marks a decisive evolution: from insights and assistance to autonomous execution, real-time decisioning, and intelligent orchestration across core banking systems. However, most BFSI organizations remain caught between pilot programs and enterprise-scale impact. Challenges around legacy core systems, fragmented data landscapes, regulatory complexity, and unclear business cases continue to slow down value realization.

Tech Mahindra along with Microsoft and NVIDIA is organizing an exclusive BFSI Summit to explore how banks and financial services enterprises can transition to an AI-first operating model, embedding intelligence into the core of their business. The discussion will focus on identifying high-impact use cases, prioritizing investments based on value and feasibility, and scaling AI from experimentation to production systems that deliver measurable business outcomes.

Participants will engage in a peer-led dialogue on how agentic AI can transform core banking—from onboarding and lending to compliance and customer experience—while maintaining trust, governance, and regulatory alignment.
