Back in 2016, the Internet and Mobile Association of India set up an all new club for what was then a very small cohort of digital leaders in corporate India. It was called the all-India Chief Digital Officer club. Back then, there were only about five-six CDOs that were members. The point of the initiative was to give legitimacy to this new, emerging role. But soon enough, the initiative fizzled out. Not because the role didn't take off or anything. Actually, the opposite. The initiative became redundant because the role became even more popular than they had anticipated. So it started with 5-6 members, but within the next four years its membership rose to 50 and then doubled the next year. You see, digital transformation has become THE buzzword for corporate India. And in the process, the CDO has become part of the companies top leadership. But the question is — where does that leave the CIO? Tune in. *This episode was originally published on 18 December, 2024 P.S The Ken's podcast team is hiring!

Enterprise AI is rapidly evolving from a decision-support tool to an autonomous decision-maker, fundamentally changing how businesses operate. Just as human metabolism regulates energy for sustainable growth, AI has its own metabolism of knowledge—continuously consuming, processing, and acting on data at unprecedented speed and scale. But without governance, this self-directed AI evolution can reinforce biases, create decision loops beyond human oversight, and introduce systemic risks—leading to operational inefficiencies, compliance failures, and reputational damage. How do enterprise leaders ensure AI remains explainable, aligned, and controllable—before it starts making critical business decisions on its own?
