Podcasts about industries

Most agents stumble into real estate thinking it's all about sales skills, marketing tricks, or having the right connections. The truth is: some of the most successful agents come from industries that outsiders would never expect. Places where hustle, resilience, and people skills are forged under pressure.  Industries like restaurant and bar sales.  That's the hidden advantage: agents who cut their teeth in high-pressure, people-driven industries often have the exact skill set real estate rewards. They know how to work long hours, how to read personalities on the fly, and how to stay calm when money is on the line.  And when they pair that grit with smart systems, the results scale fast. And sometimes, what doesn't fit in one industry becomes the superpower in another. In bars and restaurants, being a morning person is almost a handicap. You're out of sync with the job. But in real estate, it's the opposite. Being a morning person is a huge advantage.  How did Danielle Dowell go from bar sales and launches to $1 billion in real estate sales? What's her mentality on real estate disruptors?  In this episode, the top Chicago real estate agent and the founder of The DoWell Group shares her story and the key to her real estate success.    If you embrace change, you can see through it, come up with ideas, and change how you run your business in order to maximize how much money you make. -Danielle Dowell   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  Why tough markets create lasting success Danielle entered real estate in 2008, when deals took 80+ showings and months without offers. How did starting in the hardest market give her a permanent edge? Culture over commissions Most team leaders obsess over splits and numbers. Why does Danielle insist that personality fit and culture matter more than production? The underrated value of “assistant years” Danielle won't hire brand-new agents, but assistants on her team often outperform solo agents with a decade of experience. What does this reveal about deal flow and learning curves? Legacy beyond sales After crossing $1B in career volume, Danielle isn't chasing the next number; she's creating a foundation to help kids see the role models who could change their lives.

What if the straightest line to a bigger career is choosing the uncomfortable zones? On episode #141, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Tracy Nolan, Fortune 100 executive, transformation leader, and champion of women in leadership, to unpack the choices and mindsets that turned discomfort into momentum. From retail floors to the front lines of telecom, from global negotiations to a mission-driven role in healthcare, Tracy shows how to trust your instincts, claim your seat, and bring others with you.We dig into the moment a sponsor pushed her into a stretch role and why that single act of belief changed her trajectory. Tracy breaks down the difference between mentorship and sponsorship (and how to be a great mentee), shares a simple mental model for speaking up in intimidating rooms, and explains how demanding goals can coexist with deep empathy and active listening. Her stories, like giving a CEO-ready plan just ten days into a new job, reveal how confidence is built: not by waiting to be “A+ ready,” but by acting, learning, and iterating.Tracy also opens up about why healthcare fits her purpose, the women-first culture she's found at Humana, and the platform she's building, Lift as They Climb, to make sponsorship among women the norm, not the exception. We talk board pathways, continuous learning, and the skill set that will outlast every tool in an AI-driven economy: leading people through change with clarity, process, and heart.If boldness has been on your list, consider this your nudge.

AI is reshaping industries at a rapid pace, but as its influence grows, so do the ethical concerns that come with it.   This episode examines how AI is being applied across sectors such as healthcare, finance, and retail, while also exploring the crucial issue of ensuring that these technologies align with human values.   In this conversation, Lois Houston and Nikita Abraham are joined by Hemant Gahankari, Senior Principal OCI Instructor, who emphasizes the importance of fairness, inclusivity, transparency, and accountability in AI systems.   AI for You: https://mylearn.oracle.com/ou/course/ai-for-you/152601/   Oracle University Learning Community: https://education.oracle.com/ou-community   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/oracle-university/   X: https://x.com/Oracle_Edu   Special thanks to Arijit Ghosh, David Wright, Kris-Ann Nansen, Radhika Banka, and the OU Studio Team for helping us create this episode.   ---------------------------------------------------- Episode Transcript:   00:00 Welcome to the Oracle University Podcast, the first stop on your cloud journey. During this series of informative podcasts, we'll bring you foundational training on the most popular Oracle technologies. Let's get started! 00:25 Lois: Welcome to the Oracle University Podcast! I'm Lois Houston, Director of Innovation Programs with Oracle University, and with me is Nikita Abraham, Team Lead: Editorial Services. Nikita: Hey everyone! In our last episode, we spoke about how Oracle integrates AI capabilities into its Fusion Applications to enhance business workflows, and we focused on Predictive, Generative, and Agentic AI. Lois: Today, we'll discuss the various applications of AI. This is the final episode in our AI series, and before we close, we'll also touch upon ethical and responsible AI.  01:01 Nikita: Taking us through all of this is Senior Principal OCI Instructor Hemant Gahankari. Hi Hemant! AI is pretty much everywhere today. So, can you explain how it is being used in industries like retail, hospitality, health care, and so on?  Hemant: AI isn't just for sci-fi movies anymore. It's helping doctors spot diseases earlier and even discover new drugs faster. Imagine an AI that can look at an X-ray and say, hey, there is something sketchy here before a human even notices. Wild, right? Banks and fintech companies are all over AI. Fraud detection. AI has got it covered. Those robo advisors managing your investments? That's AI too. Ever noticed how e-commerce companies always seem to know what you want? That's AI studying your habits and nudging you towards that next purchase or binge watch. Factories are getting smarter. AI predicts when machines will fail so they can fix them before everything grinds to a halt. Less downtime, more efficiency. Everyone wins. Farming has gone high tech. Drones and AI analyze crops, optimize water use, and even help with harvesting. Self-driving cars get all the hype, but even your everyday GPS uses AI to dodge traffic jams. And if AI can save me from sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic, I'm all for it. 02:40 Nikita: Agreed! Thanks for that overview, but let's get into specific scenarios within each industry.  Hemant: Let us take a scenario in the retail industry-- a retail clothing line with dozens of brick-and-mortar stores. Maintaining proper inventory levels in stores and regional warehouses is critical for retailers. In this low-margin business, being out of a popular product is especially challenging during sales and promotions. Managers want to delight shoppers and increase sales but without overbuying. That's where AI steps in. The retailer has multiple information sources, ranging from point-of-sale terminals to warehouse inventory systems. This data can be used to train a forecasting model that can make predictions, such as demand increase due to a holiday or planned marketing promotion, and determine the time required to acquire and distribute the extra inventory. Most ERP-based forecasting systems can produce sophisticated reports. A generative AI report writer goes further, creating custom plain-language summaries of these reports tailored for each store, instructing managers about how to maximize sales of well-stocked items while mitigating possible shortages. 04:11 Lois: Ok. How is AI being used in the hospitality sector, Hemant? Hemant: Let us take an example of a hotel chain that depends on positive ratings on social media and review websites. One common challenge they face is keeping track of online reviews, leading to missed opportunities to engage unhappy customers complaining on social media. Hotel managers don't know what's being said fast enough to address problems in real-time. Here, AI can be used to create a large data set from the tens of thousands of previously published online reviews. A textual language AI system can perform a sentiment analysis across the data to determine a baseline that can be periodically re-evaluated to spot trends. Data scientists could also build a model that correlates these textual messages and their sentiments against specific hotel locations and other factors, such as weather. Generative AI can extract valuable suggestions and insights from both positive and negative comments. 05:27 Nikita: That's great. And what about Financial Services? I know banks use AI quite often to detect fraud. Hemant: Unfortunately, fraud can creep into any part of a bank's retail operations. Fraud can happen with online transactions, from a phone or browser, and offsite ATMs too. Without trust, banks won't have customers or shareholders. Excessive fraud and delays in detecting it can violate financial industry regulations. Fraud detection combines AI technologies, such as computer vision to interpret scanned documents, document verification to authenticate IDs like driver's licenses, and machine learning to analyze patterns. These tools work together to assess the risk of fraud in each transaction within seconds. When the system detects a high risk, it triggers automated responses, such as placing holds on withdrawals or requesting additional identification from customers, to prevent fraudulent activity and protect both the business and its client. 06:42 Nikita: Wow, interesting. And how is AI being used in the health industry, especially when it comes to improving patient care? Hemant: Medical appointments can be frustrating for everyone involved—patients, receptionists, nurses, and physicians. There are many time-consuming steps, including scheduling, checking in, interactions with the doctors, checking out, and follow-ups. AI can fix this problem through electronic health records to analyze lab results, paper forms, scans, and structured data, summarizing insights for doctors with the latest research and patient history. This helps practice reduced costs, boost earnings, and deliver faster, more personalized care. 07:32 Lois: Let's take a look at one more industry. How is manufacturing using AI? Hemant: A factory that makes metal parts and other products use both visual inspections and electronic means to monitor product quality. A part that fails to meet the requirements may be reworked or repurposed, or it may need to be scrapped. The factory seeks to maximize profits and throughput by shipping as much good material as possible, while minimizing waste by detecting and handling defects early. The way AI can help here is with the quality assurance process, which creates X-ray images. This data can be interpreted by computer vision, which can learn to identify cracks and other weak spots, after being trained on a large data set. In addition, problematic or ambiguous data can be highlighted for human inspectors. 08:36 Oracle University's Race to Certification 2025 is your ticket to free training and certification in today's hottest tech. Whether you're starting with Artificial Intelligence, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Multicloud, or Oracle Data Platform, this challenge covers it all!

But I'm sure AI has its constraints too, right? Can you talk about what happens if AI isn't able to echo human ethics?  Hemant: AI can fail due to lack of ethics.  AI can spot patterns, not make moral calls. It doesn't feel guilt, understand context, or take responsibility. That is still up to us.  Decisions are only as good as the data behind them. For example, health care AI underdiagnosing women because research data was mostly male. Artificial narrow intelligence tends to automate discrimination at scale. Recruiting AI downgraded resumes just because it had a word "women's" (for example, women's chess club). Who is responsible when AI fails? For example, if a self-driving car hits someone, we cannot blame the car. Then who owns the failure? The programmer? The CEO? Can we really trust corporations or governments having programmed the use of AI not to be evil correctly? So, it's clear that AI needs oversight to function smoothly. 10:48 Lois: So, Hemant, how can we design AI in ways that respect and reflect human values? Hemant: Think of ethics like a tree. It needs all parts working together. Roots represent intent. That is our values and principles. The trunk stands for safeguards, our systems, and structures. And the branches are the outcomes we aim for. If the roots are shallow, the tree falls. If the trunk is weak, damage seeps through. The health of roots and trunk shapes the strength of our ethical outcomes. Fairness means nothing without ethical intent behind it. For example, a bank promotes its loan algorithm as fair. But it uses zip codes in decision-making, effectively penalizing people based on race. That's not fairness. That's harm disguised as data. Inclusivity depends on the intent sustainability. Inclusive design isn't just a check box. It needs a long-term commitment. For example, controllers for gamers with disabilities are only possible because of sustained R&D and intentional design choices. Without investment in inclusion, accessibility is left behind. Transparency depends on the safeguard robustness. Transparency is only useful if the system is secure and resilient. For example, a medical AI may be explainable, but if it is vulnerable to hacking, transparency won't matter. Accountability depends on the safeguard privacy and traceability. You can't hold people accountable if there is no trail to follow. For example, after a fatal self-driving car crash, deleted system logs meant no one could be held responsible. Without auditability, accountability collapses. So remember, outcomes are what we see, but they rely on intent to guide priorities and safeguards to support execution. That's why humans must have a final say. AI has no grasp of ethics, but we do. 13:16 Nikita: So, what you're saying is ethical intent and robust AI safeguards need to go hand in hand if we are to truly leverage AI we can trust. Hemant: When it comes to AI, preventing harm is a must. Take self-driving cars, for example. Keeping pedestrians safe is absolutely critical, which means the technology has to be rock solid and reliable. At the same time, fairness and inclusivity can't be overlooked. If an AI system used for hiring learns from biased past data, say, mostly male candidates being hired, it can end up repeating those biases, shutting out qualified candidates unfairly. Transparency and accountability go hand in hand. Imagine a loan rejection if the AI's decision isn't clear or explainable. It becomes impossible for someone to challenge or understand why they were turned down. And of course, robustness supports fairness too. Loan approval systems need strong security to prevent attacks that could manipulate decisions and undermine trust.  We must build AI that reflects human values and has safeguards. This makes sure that AI is fair, inclusive, transparent, and accountable.  14:44 Lois: Before we wrap, can you talk about why AI can fail? Let's continue with your analogy of the tree. Can you explain how AI failures occur and how we can address them? Hemant: Root elements like do not harm and sustainability are fundamental to ethical AI development. When these roots fail, the consequences can be serious. For example, a clear failure of do not harm is AI-powered surveillance tools misused by authoritarian regimes. This happens because there were no ethical constraints guiding how the technology was deployed. The solution is clear-- implement strong ethical use policies and conduct human rights impact assessment to prevent such misuse. On the sustainability front, training AI models can consume massive amount of energy. This failure occurs because environmental costs are not considered. To fix this, organizations are adopting carbon-aware computing practices to minimize AI's environmental footprint. By addressing these root failures, we can ensure AI is developed and used responsibly with respect for human rights and the planet. An example of a robustness failure can be a chatbot hallucinating nonexistent legal precedence used in court filings. This could be due to training on unverified internet data and no fact-checking layer. This can be fixed by grounding in authoritative databases. An example of a privacy failure can be AI facial recognition database created without user consent. The reason being no consent was taken for data collection. This can be fixed by adopting privacy-preserving techniques. An example of a fairness failure can be generated images of CEOs as white men and nurses as women, minorities. The reason being training on imbalanced internet images reflecting societal stereotypes. And the fix is to use diverse set of images. 17:18 Lois: I think this would be incomplete if we don't talk about inclusivity, transparency, and accountability failures. How can they be addressed, Hemant? Hemant: An example of an inclusivity failure can be a voice assistant not understanding accents. The reason being training data lacked diversity. And the fix is to use inclusive data. An example of a transparency and accountability failure can be teachers could not challenge AI-generated performance scores due to opaque calculations. The reason being no explainability tools are used. The fix being high-impact AI needs human review pathways and explainability built in. 18:04 Lois: Thank you, Hemant, for a fantastic conversation. We got some great insights into responsible and ethical AI. Nikita: Thank you, Hemant!

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I look at how Oracle's new co-CEOs plan to blend AI, OCI, and industry expertise into a powerful growth equation.Highlights00:13 — Big things happening at Oracle. Safra Catz has stepped over and up to the role of Executive Vice Chairman, opening the door for two new CEOs at Oracle: Clay Magouyrk, the leader of their Oracle Cloud Infrastructure business, and Mike Sicilia, the leader of their industries business. I thought it was fascinating.01:00 — Mike Sicilia, co-CEO, said in this discussion with financial analysts that AI enables new opportunities across industries, not just within an industry. With AI and better sets of data and being able to use OCI's computational power of OCI, new operating models and relationships can be created across industries like banking and healthcare and many other combinations.02:25 — And so he said the foundation on the technology side — which Clay Magouyrk has been leading so much — is to enable all the leading large language models to work with enterprise-level data in a highly private and secure, fully compliant way. That's why the Oracle Database 23AI was specifically designed for that.03:22 — Now I think this is one of those cases where we see companies pushing a vision. In this AI revolution, it's important for that vision not just to be a slightly better version of what we've done in the past, but something completely different. I think big vision, big imagination, and big risk-taking are called for here.04:34 — Then, closing out the call, we had comments from Magouyrk and Sicilia, and in a longer article today on Cloud Wars, I go into some detail on that. I allow Sicilia to explain with a lot more color how these cross-industry ecosystems will work, and Magouyrk also offers some perspective on that. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

SBS Finance Editor Ricardo Gonçalves delves into Barrenjoey's report on the industries most exposed to technological change and AI with Johnathan McMenamin; plus the day on the sharemarket with Mark Gardner from MPC Markets.

Catalyst is a Creative Industries podcast, from Chapman University. Each episode features Chapman students who have completed a Podcasting course through the Center for Creative and Cultural Industries at the university. Students who had no podcasting experience or technical ability in the genre before taking the course were able to contribute all the segments to Catalyst this season with the goal being that they will take this ‘hands-on' experience and carry it over to the launching of their very own series. Each episode of Season 14 will feature one to two different interviews conducted by CCI students, exploring different aspects of the Creative and Cultural Industries. This week we kick off the episode with Parker Dalton who sits down with Emma Bekes, a recent graduate of the University of Colorado Boulder who has already carved out a career in international advertising. Originally an Environmental Science major, Emma discovered her creative calling during college and decided to pursue it wholeheartedly. That choice led her abroad, first to Sweden for a semester and later to South Africa for an international advertising internship. With global experiences under her belt Emma reflects on how working overseas felt like a natural extension of her life. In their conversation, she discusses why she chose to stay in South Africa after graduation, the lessons she's learned about navigating a foreign workforce, and her advice for college seniors interested in building careers that cross borders. We conclude our episode this week with a segment that comes to us from Greta Kunze who speaks with Emily Willoughby.  A renowned paleo-artist, illustrator, writer, photographer, and researcher at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, Emily's work bridges the worlds of art and science, with her illustrations and research reaching institutions such as the Shanghai Natural History Museum, the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, and journals like Evolution. Together, Greta and Emily explore how creativity informs scientific understanding, particularly in the popular realm of dinosaurs, and how artists can use technology to bring prehistoric life to the public imagination. Emily reflects on her journey from a high school dinosaur sketch that went viral online to a career that blends behavioral genetics research with internationally recognized paleoart. Listeners will gain insights into her creative process, her path through both science and art, and even how scientists can predict the colors of dinosaurs through modern discoveries.

Aluminium steckt in Autos, Flugzeugen und Handys und ist unverzichtbar für die Mobilitäts- und die Energiewende. Aluminium kann außerdem perfekt recycelt werden, und zwar unendlich oft und mit geringem Energieverbrauch. Niemand beherrscht den Prozess besser als Europa, der Technologievorsprung ist riesig. Doch die Werke stehen leer und die Jobs verschwinden: Händler verkaufen das Altmetall neuerdings lieber an die USA.Die Ursache ist der Zolldeal der EU mit unterschiedlichen Aufschlägen für Schrotte und fertige Produkte: "Darüber kann man nur den Kopf schütteln", sagt Rob van Gils. Der Aluunternehmer beschreibt im Gespräch mit Clara und Christian eine Branche, die für den Green Deal der EU viele Millionen Euro in ihre Anlagen investiert hat, jetzt aber am Abgrund steht. Denn Europa lässt sich beim Schrotthandel nicht nur von den USA, sondern auch von China über den Tisch ziehen: "Die EU-Kommission lebt gerne in ihrer regelbasierten Welt", sagt van Gils. "Leider hält sich sonst niemand an diese Regeln."Die Warnung des Unternehmers ist deutlich. Europa muss den Export von Aluschrott in andere Länder verbieten, sonst steht die Branche vor dem Aus.Gast?

The average freelancer is often absolutely clueless when it comes to running a business. And I can only say this because I did some of the dumbest possible things for the first five years that I was a freelancer. Until I started looking at best practices from other successful industries - in many cases who had spent millions (or hundreds of millions) of dollars to figure this stuff out. When you take what's already working in other industries and adapt it to your freelance business… You can charge higher prices, have more predictability, higher close rates, more finished projects without tearing your hair out from the stress. What lessons exactly? That's what this week's episode is all about: 8 Business Secrets Freelancers Can Steal From Multi-Billion Dollar Industries If you're currently: Doing most of your work as one-off projects Providing a whole bunch of different services and packages Relying on referrals and warm leads to get clients This episode could change your entire business for the better.

Send us a textEver wonder how someone becomes a successful project manager? Walt Sparling's remarkable journey from an accidental drafting student to a cross-industry PM expert reveals the unexpected path many professionals take into this dynamic field.This is a unique episode where Walt, the host of the PM-Mastery podcast, let a former guest and friend interview him. During this interview, we discussed future goals of meeting each other in person, but due to the delayed posting of this episode, it actually happened, and Tanya was a guest at a milestone birthday party of mine this past summer. It was awesome to meet in person and finally create that personal bond that we had been building over the last couple of years.Walt's story begins with childhood dreams of architecture that took a detour when an eye injury ended his military aspirations. From there, his career winds through mechanical engineering firms, an IT startup, and eventually into architectural project management. What makes his perspective so valuable is how each role built upon the last, creating a uniquely qualified professional who understands the complex connections that link different technical disciplines.Throughout the conversation with host Tanya Boyd, Walt emphasizes how communication became his superpower. "If your attention to detail is good, you manage time well, and you're a great communicator—you can work in multiple industries," he explains. This insight reveals that successful project managers don't necessarily possess deep technical expertise in one area, but rather possess the ability to facilitate understanding among specialists and guide teams towards shared goals through influence rather than authority.The discussion takes fascinating turns through Walt's PM Mastery podcast creation during COVID, his involvement with a men's mastermind group, and his role as an instructor for the Pure Project Manager credential. This innovative program brings together over 20 industry experts, each teaching their specialty rather than having "one person talk about 15 different topics." The result is practical, specialized knowledge from professionals passionate about their focus areas.Whether you're an aspiring project manager curious about the field, a seasoned PM looking to broaden your perspective, or someone considering a career pivot, Walt's story demonstrates how adaptability, communication skills, and a willingness to learn can create opportunities across industries. Ready to take your project management skills to the next level? This episode provides both inspiration and practical insights to help you on your journey.PM-Mastery Links: For a full podcast episode list, visit here: PM-Mastery Podcast Episodes.

Overcoming Distractions is THE podcast for the busy professional, executive, entrepreneur with ADHD. In this episode, Dave reminds all of you (and himself…) that we need to hit the reset button and focus on the positive aspects of our ADHD brains, especially in a business environment. Many of us got to where we are in business and career because we were able to think a little differently from others. But life and business happens and challenges and frustrations got in the way of us growing any further. Sometimes in life and in business focusing on the positives is very difficult but we have to try a little differently to remind ourselves that we have strengths and those can overpower the negatives in many cases. Life and industry don't just operate at an even pace. Industries change, family dynamics change, some of us become caregivers and some of us get to a point where work has become incredibly stressful and toxic. Let's talk about how to incorporate some positivity into our ADHD world! **Do you want to work with Dave one-on-one? Go to www.overcomingdistractions.com and book an introductory Zoom chat.

Catalyst is a Creative Industries podcast, from Chapman University. Each episode features Chapman students who have completed a Podcasting course through the Center for Creative and Cultural Industries at the university. Students who had no podcasting experience or technical ability in the genre before taking the course were able to contribute all the segments to Catalyst this season with the goal being that they will take this ‘hands-on' experience and carry it over to the launching of their very own series. Each episode of Season 14 will feature one to two different interviews conducted by CCI students, exploring different aspects of the Creative and Cultural Industries. First up is Hayden Dalton sits down with Morgan Dench, the current tour director for Sabrina Carpenter. With more than two decades of experience, Morgan reflects on her remarkable journey, beginning with her first job on Sesame Street Live, which she credits for laying the foundation of her career. From there, she built an impressive resume touring with acts as John Mayer, Harry Styles, and the Spice Girls. She shares insights into the many roles she has taken on in the touring industry—including tour accountant, tour manager, and tour director—while reflecting on where she fits best and what she enjoys most. The pair end the interview with some strong advice for those who are thinking about the many and varied roles that are out there in the world of live entertainment touring. We end the season's first episode with Lauren Oh and her in-depth interview with Brandon Moreno, a triple threat performer who has just wrapped up the North American touring production of Mean Girls: The Musical. Lauren talks to Brandon about what life is like on the road as part of a touring company. He recounts his journey from training at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York & Los Angeles to landing a spot on a Broadway national tour. Together, Lauren and Brandon bond over their love of musical theatre as he opens up about his daily routines, audition experiences, and the discipline required to maintain his skills as a well-rounded performer. With honesty and optimism, Brandon reflects on both the challenges and rewards of the industry, offering listeners a candid glimpse into the world of Broadway touring.

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a global leader in IT services, consulting, and business solutions, operating a Global Delivery Centre in Letterkenny, Ireland, has partnered with Qualcomm to set up the 'TCS Innovation Lab', a space for co-innovation with Qualcomm in Bengaluru, India. TCS and Qualcomm will co-create smart, scalable, and sustainable Edge AI capabilities utilising Qualcomm platforms for industries moving towards a software-driven approach to make their systems more efficient and resilient in the lab. The co-innovation lab will enable the creation of customised low-cost solutions that can be deployed on intelligent devices, on location and in real time to streamline processes at large enterprises. Located in India's start-up and innovation capital, Bengaluru, the lab will be part of the IoT-focused Bringing Life to Things Network lab. The lab, which is equipped with 5G private network infrastructure and other hi-tech network and equipment, will develop capabilities for sectors that need agile IoT solutions, such as security and surveillance, healthcare, smart infrastructure, and manufacturing. With its strategic location and advanced infrastructure, the lab is designed to support the rapid prototyping, experimentation, and large-scale implementation of Edge AI capabilities built on a Software Defined Everything (SDx) approach. Savi Soin, Sr. Vice President & President, Qualcomm India, said, "Our collaboration with TCS marks an important step in bringing practical, real-time Edge AI solutions to industries that are rapidly evolving. The TCS Innovation Lab will serve as a space where advanced AI and connectivity meet real-world challenges. Together, we aim to develop solutions that are cost-effective, efficient, scalable, and tailored to the needs of enterprises looking to modernise and grow in a software-defined world." Enterprises across sectors need to develop and deploy intelligent devices that can autonomously make decisions to run processes efficiently, creating a rise in demand for smart, compact, energy-efficient and high-performance self-healing devices. TCS shall leverage advanced Edge AI and SDx capabilities that are hardware-agnostic, highly configurable, secure, and service-oriented. These will help global enterprises build robust, agile systems that adapt quickly to changes in industry ecosystems and business processes. The proposed solutions shall find applications in medical devices, smart handhelds for controlling industrial processes and machinery, smart infrastructure and advanced safety and surveillance mechanisms. Running TCS' SDx capabilities on Qualcomm Technologies' Edge AI-enabled System-on-Chips will connect the physical and digital worlds more seamlessly. V Rajanna, Business Group Head, Technology, Software and Services, TCS, said, "We are excited to announce the launch of a state-of-the-art co-innovation lab focused on advancing Software Defined Everything (SDx) and Edge AI platforms. This lab will drive the development of next-generation solutions for diverse applications - including intelligent medical devices, smart industrial handhelds, and advanced safety and surveillance systems. TCS remains committed to investing in innovation and harnessing the power of AI to help enterprises unlock greater agility, efficiency, and long-term business value." The latest collaboration between TCS and Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., builds on the large transformational projects carried out by both companies across engineering services, including silicon solution design and IT support.
