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.
• High-Value Executive Dialogue and Networking – Engage with senior leaders in a peer-level setting focused on meaningful exchange.

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.

Insight to Impact: Clinically Engineered

Overview:

Our 4E approach to transforming healthcare and life sciences

Healthcare and life sciences (HLS) organizations are undergoing rapid transformation to boost productivity, engage patients across their care continuum, deliver exceptional physician experiences, and harness data for breakthrough insights that accelerate therapy development. Advances in digital technologies, especially AI—are creating unprecedented opportunities to reimagine care delivery, personalize treatments, and bend the cost curve without compromising quality.

When it comes to patient safety, there can be no compromise. Transformation in health sciences must be clinically engineered—built with precision on a foundation of deep domain expertise, robust engineering, and a relentless focus on operational, financial, and clinical outcomes. We enable this vision by combining next-gen digital capabilities with healthcare intelligence, helping organizations deliver precision care, accelerate research, and create sustainable value across the healthcare ecosystem.

Overview:

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 3 key lenses

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

Architecting the Autonomous Enterprise
From Data-Driven Decisions to AI-Powered Autonomous Business Execution

Overview:

As enterprises accelerate AI adoption, most have become data-driven—but far fewer have achieved AI-powered autonomous execution. The next phase of transformation is not about producing better insights; it is about enabling AI systems that can reason, coordinate, and act across business workflows with speed, trust, and accountability.

This invite-only CXO roundtable brings together senior business and technology leaders for a candid, closed-door exchange on what it truly takes to become an Autonomous Enterprise, offering real conversations with peers who are grappling with the same questions you are.

The discussion will focus on how organizations are moving beyond pilots to embed AI into core operations by evolving their enterprise architecture and operating models. Participants will examine the design and governance patterns required to scale autonomy safely, including multi-agent orchestration, event-driven architectures, real-time decisioning, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), semantic-first data design, and AI governance frameworks.

Through peer-level dialogue, the session will surface practical lessons on transitioning from insight-driven enterprises to AI-executing organizations, delivering measurable outcomes such as reduced decision latency, optimized cost-to-serve, improved working capital efficiency, and accelerated revenue realization.

Reimagining Core BFSI Value Chains with Agentic AI

Overview:

The BFSI industry is moving beyond incremental automation toward fundamentally rethinking how core value chains operate. Across mortgage processing, underwriting, trade settlement, and claims management, the underlying operating logic remains sequential, fragmented, and slow to adapt to changing business and customer demands.
Agentic AI introduces a genuine opportunity to rethink how these value chains are fundamentally designed, moving beyond automating existing processes toward reimagining how decisions are made, risk is assessed, and value is delivered.

This session explores what that reimagination looks like in practice, examining the new operating models Agentic AI makes possible, how core processes can be restructured to become
