In this episode of Scouting for Growth, Sabine VanderLinden sits down with Manish Shah, President and Chief Product Officer at Majesco, to explore the rapidly changing landscape of insurance.  Together, they examine how AI is shifting the industry from being purely a protector to one that also focuses on prevention and dynamic participation. The conversation covers everything from the persistent protection gap and the urgent need for behavioral—not just technological—transformation in insurance to the practical realities and fears surrounding the implementation of agentic AI systems.  Manish Shah shares actionable insights on overcoming internal resistance, building trust with customers, and the importance of leadership courage. Throughout, listeners will gain an insider's view on how insurance models are transforming and what sets bold, future-ready leaders apart. KEY TAKEAWAYS I was delighted to welcome Manish Shah to explore how the insurance industry is being transformed at its core. Our discussion began with the fundamental premise that insurance is built on trust and a promise of protection—yet today, both are being challenged by shifting customer expectations, legacy systems, and the rapid evolution of AI technologies.  Manish emphasized that closing the protection gap is not merely an issue of customer education but primarily a challenge of product and experience design. If customers do not understand or value our offerings, it's a failure of design, not comprehension. We agreed that the path to genuine transformation must be grounded in a behavioral shift—beyond technology upgrades or business process reengineering. Transformation executives must start by listening deeply to customers, adapting to their evolving needs, and fostering a culture that is not afraid to take bold risks rather than settle for incremental change. The conversation also delved into how AI, when embedded into the core—not bolted on as an afterthought—can help insurers move from process-led to truly human-centered operations. This enables better capacity, more personalized experiences, and the ability to anticipate rather than react to customers' needs. Crucially, Manish Shah articulated the importance of trust, transparency, and auditability in the AI era: true trust is built through consistent, clear, empathetic engagement, supported by AI that augments—not replaces—human judgment. The insurers that will thrive in the next 3-5 years are those who are brave enough to rethink their business models, leverage intelligent, agentic cores, and prioritize behavioral change.  The future belongs to those willing to become active partners in their customers' lives, focused on prevention, participation, and peace of mind. BEST MOMENTS “If our customers don't understand or see the value in the product, then it is a design problem. It's not really a customer problem or an education problem. “Trust is built in small moments, not in any marketing material or strategic deck.”  “If we can actually execute well as an industry, insurance should feel more like a proactive safety net than a just reactive payment mechanism.”  “The brave ones… are those who are willing to rethink their business model and not just the tech stack.”  ABOUT THE GUEST  Manish Shah is the President and Chief Product Officer at Majesco, a leader at the intersection of technology, product strategy, and insurance industry expertise.  With over 30 years in the insurance sector, Manish Shah has been both a witness and a driver of major transformation, from the analog days of the industry to today's AI-driven innovation. He is particularly passionate about embedding intelligence into the foundation of insurance operations—not just talking about AI, but delivering it as an engine of change.  At Majesco, Manish Shah oversees strategy for their cloud-native, intelligent core platform, with a special focus on agentic workflows, operational effectiveness, and preparing insurers for future challenges and opportunities in P&C, Life, Health, and Benefits. If you want to connect with Manish Shah, he encourages open dialogue and learning across the industry.

The Trump administration last week announced the repeal of the ‘endangerment finding' - the 2009 determination that climate change threatens public health and welfare. It may sound arcane, but this piece of legislation empowered the US federal government to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. This decision weakens the regulatory backbone of American climate policy, and may reshape the country's emissions trajectory for years to come.So what happens next?This week, Christiana Figueres, Tom Rivett-Carnac and Paul Dickinson consider the politics, the economics and the climate reality of this move. And Tom calls friend of the show Manish Bapna, President and CEO of the Natural Resources Defense Council, whose organisation is preparing to challenge the rollback in court. Speaking to us just as the case was filed, Manish explains why the endangerment finding has long been the legal bedrock of federal climate action, and how the case could climb all the way to the Supreme Court.Until then, uncertainty reins: is this a temporary political detour - or a structural turning point for US climate leadership? And if federal authority falters, will states, businesses and markets keep the transition moving anyway?Learn More:

In this episode of Lit with Charles, Charles welcomes British writer Manish Chauhan to celebrate the lead-up to his debut novel Belgrave Road (out with Faber in January). Set in Leicester, the book traces the intersecting lives of Mira, newly arrived from India in an arranged marriage that offers little refuge, and Talia, a Somali refugee navigating the UK asylum system. Manish speaks candidly about the long road to publication - writing since his teens, balancing a demanding career as a finance lawyer, and building momentum through short fiction - and about the real-life encounters and observations that sparked his story. At the heart of the conversation is what he hopes fiction can do right now: complicate the rhetoric around immigration by showing that every person contains “a whole number of stories,” not just the ones that dominate headlines.As always, the episode is also a masterclass in reading as a writer. Manish shares four books that shaped his craft and sensibility: A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry, Runaway by Alice Munro, Disgrace by J.M. Coetzee, and Unaccustomed Earth by Jhumpa Lahiri.

In this episode of the Rainmaker Podcast, Gui Costin sits down with Manish Khatta, CEO and CIO of Potomac, for a candid and insightful conversation about building and scaling a modern asset management firm through transparency, technology, and content.Manish, a self-described quant and lifelong Potomac team member, shares his journey from programming mechanical trading systems straight out of college to now leading a fast-growing, multi-siloed investment business. At the heart of Potomac's identity is a fierce commitment to risk management—reflected in their trademarked tagline, Built to Conquer Risk—and a bold content strategy that sets them apart in a traditionally conservative industry.The episode explores how Potomac adopted the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) to improve communication, accountability, and execution across all departments. Manish explains how EOS meetings, scorecards, and cross-functional transparency have fundamentally changed how the firm operates and drives growth. This operational discipline is mirrored in their use of CRM—specifically HubSpot—not just as a contact database, but as the central nervous system of their sales and marketing efforts. “If it's not in the CRM, it doesn't exist,” Manish says, underscoring the importance of tracking and acting on every client interaction.But what truly sets this conversation apart is the deep dive into Potomac's content engine. From producing as many as seven pieces of content a week to launching creative projects like “Industry Gossip” and a Seinfeld-inspired series featuring advisors in classic cars, Manish and his team have taken an unconventional, personality-driven approach to branding. He's unapologetic about avoiding product talk in content, emphasizing that building trust and brand recognition always comes before the sales pitch.Manish also reflects on leadership—how becoming a father shifted his perspective, and how he's learning to blend hard-charging expectations with empathy and kindness. He opens up about the challenges of scaling people and culture alongside business growth and offers pointed advice for young professionals entering the industry: stay curious, stay visible, and never underestimate the power of showing up.Whether you're a CEO, a sales leader, or a content creator in the investment space, this episode is a masterclass in modern firm building. Manish's blend of operational rigor, creative risk-taking, and cultural intentionality offers a fresh, actionable blueprint for success in a rapidly changing industry.Tired of chasing outdated leads?

Arun asked Manish.Hi: मनीष के चेहरे पर हल्की सी मुस्कान आई।En: A slight smile appeared on Manish's face.Hi: "मैं इसे बचा के रखा था," मनीष ने कहा, "यह अब भी काम करता है।"En: "I preserved it," Manish said, "It still works."Hi: जैसे ही वे जोरों से लहराते हुए गंगा के किनारे पहुँचे, अरुण ने तारा के सामने अपने दिल की बातें खोलीं।En: As they reached the Ganga's shoreline with waves pounding fiercely, Arun opened up his heart to Tara.Hi: उसने अपने अतीत की हर वो भूल बताई जिससे वह बुरी तरह से झकझोर गया था।En: He confessed every mistake of his past that had shaken him deeply.Hi: तारा ने अरुण का हाथ थामा और उसकी ओर भरोसे से देखा।En: Tara held Arun's hand and looked at him with trust.Hi: जैसा कि मनीष ने अपनी योजना को सफलतापूर्वक अंजाम तक पहुँचाया, रेडियो से आवाज़ आई, "हम यहाँ हैं... गंगा के इस पार सुरक्षित बच गए।"En: As Manish successfully executed his plan, the radio sounded, "We are here... safely across the Ganga."Hi: गंगा किनारे सुरक्षित समुदाय को देख, अरुण ने अपनी आँखों में नई उम्मीद के आंसू लिये हुए पहली बार शांति महसूस की।En: Seeing the secure community by the Ganga banks, Arun felt peace for the first time, tears of renewed hope brimming in his eyes.Hi: ऊपर दीयों का प्रकाश छलकता रहा, अंधेरे में उजाले की तरह।En: The light from the lamps above shimmered, like light in the darkness.Hi: यह नई शुरुआत थी – आशा की, विश्वास की, और उत्थान की।En: This was a new beginning—of hope, trust, and revival.Hi: अरुण ने पाया कि अतीत को भूलना ही नहीं वरन् उसे अपनाना भी जरूरी है।En: Arun found that it was important not only to forget the past but also to embrace it.Hi: दीवाली की उस रात ने इस पुनः जीवन को उनके सामने एक नये नाम के साथ बताया – 'समाज का पुनर्निर्माण।'

This TIMELESS turns everything on it's head. What if the most educated amongst us are the most disconnected?  Here we lovingly dismantle factory schooling, recall village intelligence, and discuss a practical path into gift culture. Manish Jain (co-founder of the UnSchooling movement) who walked out of Wall Street and Harvard, invites us to trade credentials for conscience, exams for experience, and scarcity for an experiment in trust. We discuss education as being, not just knowing, starting with head, heart, hands, home. Manish speaks on gift culture, giving us the advice that when scarcity knocks, we up the gift, and ritualize generosity so trust compounds. We invite you to bring home some of the ideas discussed in the episode such as running a treasure hunt by visiting 10 local people or places of skill, elders, makers, growers, repairers, musicians. Another idea is to host a Darya Dil exchange, where each person gifts a personally meaningful item with its story, and the receiver promises to pass it on within 3 months. And finally, we invite you to replace "resume" with a one page portfolio of lived projects, and publish it publicly. We also recommend that you listen to the full Episode 39 here. And please do a treasure hunt where you are this week, you will be amazed by what you find!  Join us for The Rhythm: live meditation sessions twice a week with our community - no recordings to catch up on, just show up and breathe together.

“ A luxury brand has to have that caring side of it. Caring for the environment, caring for all stakeholders, caring for the community. Without it, you are not a complete hotel.”

Is EQ more important than IQ when it comes to hospitality?Today, Manish Puri, General Manager of the Regent Hotels and Resorts Bali, joins Dan to dive into key topics in the industry, such as sustainability, community, and leadership. They discuss the essence of hospitality, differentiating it from mere service, and delve into the concept of regenerative hospitality and sustainability. Manish shares insights from his career at prestigious hotel brands like Oberoi, Burj Al Arab, Six Senses, and Regent Bali. They explore how sustainability initiatives can transform the industry, turning cost centers into investment centers, and the importance of heartfelt service. The conversation also covers the challenges of opening and managing new hotels and the impact of leadership and open-heartedness in inspiring younger generations in the hospitality industry.Takeaways: Embrace regenerative practices by viewing waste as an opportunity to create value, turning sustainability efforts into investments rather than costs.Lead by example and integrity. Your actions are always being observed, so inspire others by consistently doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.Pay attention to the small details in your work. Excellence is built on thousands of thoughtful, consistent actions rather than a single grand gesture.Foster a culture of genuine care and positivity. Small acts of kindness and authentic smiles can create a powerful ripple effect throughout your organization.Design guest programs that encourage visitors to give back to the local community, such as volunteering or sharing their expertise, creating a positive impact beyond their stay.Treat sustainability initiatives as opportunities for investment and growth, not just as expenses. Find ways to turn environmental responsibility into tangible value.Quote of the Show:“ A luxury brand has to have that caring side of it.

This week James Allen welcomes Manish Pandey, the film maker and master storyteller who shot to prominence with the award-winning 2010 documentary Senna, which he made with Asif Kapadia and James Gay Rees of Drive to Survive fame. Since then Manish has followed up, gaining exclusive access to F1's ringmaster Bernie Ecclestone, to tell his behind the scenes story in the streaming series Lucky. Now he's done it again with a new film, Seeing Red, about another of F1's biggest characters, Luca Di Montezemolo.  Montezemolo was only 28 years old when he won the 1975 F1 World Championships as Ferrari team manager with Niki Lauda. He then came back in the 1990s to lead Ferrari's renaissance, putting in place the “Dream Team” of Jean Todt, Ross Brawn and Rory Byrne that dominated F1 with Michael Schumacher. At the same time he brought the magic back to Ferrari's road car fleet.  Manish talks about what has drawn him as a film maker to tell the stories of Senna, Ecclestone and Montezemolo, what they have in common and how their stories intersect. He reveals the conversations that Montezemolo and Senna had in 1994 about the great Brazilian joining Ferrari and looks at the Ferrari of today and asks: how important is it that the person at the top of Ferrari loves F1? Seeing Red is on a limited cinema release via Everyman Cinemas in the UK and will be released on major streaming platforms soon.

We talk a lot about AI as if it can fix broken systems. But what happens when the underlying data is too messy, too slow, or too disconnected to support anything useful? That's the problem Manish Sood, founder and CTO of Reltio, has spent the last decade working to solve. Reltio is not your average data company. It sits behind some of the world's most recognisable brands, helping names like L'Oréal, Pfizer, HP, and CarMax modernise how they manage and activate data across the business. What they all share is a recognition that outdated systems and disconnected records don't just slow down insights. They actively block innovation. Manish breaks this down with uncommon clarity. He calls it “data debt”—the invisible burden of stale, incomplete, or fragmented information that quietly kills speed and adds risk. It's not just a technical problem. It's a leadership challenge, especially as businesses adopt generative AI tools that rely on clean, contextual data to function reliably. We explore how real-time intelligence is changing the way companies operate across customer experience, fraud detection, and supply chain resilience. Manish shares examples from enterprise clients who have moved from legacy systems to unified platforms, and how that shift enabled smarter decision-making at scale. From personalised retail offers to proactive healthcare outreach, the stories point to one common truth: if the data isn't trusted, the AI cannot be either. There's also a new role emerging inside many companies—the data steward as AI enabler. These are the people ensuring that data isn't just stored, but shaped. Human-guided, explainable, traceable. That clarity is key to responsible AI, especially in sectors where compliance and reputation are tightly linked. Manish also explains how Reltio's platform helps businesses protect against AI vulnerabilities by enabling resilient data pipelines, consistent governance, and real-time monitoring. In a world where data is created and used simultaneously, batch syncing is not enough. Real-time pipelines give companies the confidence to experiment with AI without falling into chaos. If your business is chasing innovation without cleaning up its data layer first, this conversation is a wake-up call. Manish shows that the future of AI isn't about who builds the best model. It's about who feeds it the best foundation. ********* Visit the Sponsor of Tech Talks Network: Land your first job  in tech in 6 months as a Software QA Engineering Bootcamp with Careerist https://crst.co/OGCLA

Why Congress Shot Itself in the Foot? | Not Fielding Shashi Tharoor and Manish Tewari a Big Mistake?

Our guest on this week's episode is Manish Kapoor, founder and CEO of Growth Catalyst Group. Since we have passed the mid-summer mark of 2025, retailers are now focused on the next dates on the retail calendar – and that's back to school season. This is traditionally the second busiest season of the retail year. But like everything in supply chains in 2025, this year has not been normal. Our guest helps us find out how retail supply chains are coping and what we can expect over the coming weeks.A new industry-sponsored program is designed to inspire next generation of supply chain leaders. Girl Scouts of the USA and contract logistics provider DHL Supply Chain have launched the "Solutions Superstar" program to advance critical thinking and problem-solving skills for K-12 girls and to introduce them to supply chain careers. A modern distribution center or fulfillment center is often full of automation at many different levels. It might have robots like AMRs and AGVs, dense storage like an AS/RS, and software platforms like an ERP or WMS system. But often, each of those units operates by itself, or it takes orders from just one source, like the WMS software. And that can make it hard for them all to work together as a team. But lately, we've been seeing progress in the industry toward fixing that situation.  Supply Chain Xchange  also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.  It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals. A new series has just started on Top Threats to our Supply Chains. It covers topics including Geopolitical Risks, Economic Instability, Cybersecurity Risks, Threats to energy and electric grids; Supplier Risks, and Transportation Disruptions  Go to your favorite podcast platform to subscribe and to listen to past and future episodes.

By that, I don't just mean it was hard to nail down a time on his calendar to meet me for the podcast, which it was. Like with most founders and guests on First Principles, the gap between when I first invite them and when they finally appear is usually measured in months, sometimes years. I had first emailed Manish for First Principles in January 2023.But I'm saying Manish is hard to nail down also because he defies - resists - categorisation. Sure, he co-founded Teamlease, one of India's largest recruitment and human resource providers. It employs over 400,000 people, is listed on the stock exchanges, and is a great barometer of broader employment trends in India. But Manish is no longer involved with the day-to-day operations of the company, while still being the largest individual shareholder.Instead, he leads a “portfolio life”, dividing his time serving on the boards of think tanks, regulatory bodies, universities, non-profits, and even private companies like Phonepe; advising companies and the government on a host of topics like labour markets, regulation, employment, education, economic policy and reforms; being a columnist; and reading books. Oh yeah, he says he's read a book a week for the last - wait for this - 42 years!Thus, when I sat down with Manish last Thursday, I went in prepared, or as prepared as I could be, with my research and questions. But 10 minutes into the conversation, I decided to drop the conversation narrative I had in mind and instead let the conversation go where it needed to.Yes, we do cover entrepreneurship, ambition, and finding product-market fit by letting your customers guide your evolution, but we also go much further into topics that we normally don't. For example, India's macroeconomic and geopolitical chances, ‘regulatory cholesterol', higher education and the jobs crisis. All peppered with pithy aphorisms, vivid analogies, and memorable quotes every few minutes, this is something I've remembered Manish doing since I first met him as a journalist in the early 2010s.Welcome to First Principles.-This episode was produced by Hari Krishna, and the mixing and mastering of the episode was done by Rajiv CN.Write to us at fp@the-ken.com with your feedback, suggestions and guests you would want to see on First Principles.If you liked this episode, help us spread the word by sharing and gifting this episode with your friends and family.

What can a satirical HBO series teach you about building a scalable, high-impact B2B marketing engine? A lot—if you ask Manish Gupta.In this episode, 4-Time CMO Manish Gupta joins Caspian CEO Ian Faison to deconstruct the show Silicon Valley and extract lessons on marketing, storytelling, team dynamics, and startup chaos. Together, they explore how to translate complex technology to engage your audience, prioritizing content in your marketing, and including human moments to build brand trust.About our guest, Manish GuptaManish Gupta is a 4x CMO, having led marketing at companies like LaunchDarkly, Sonar and Redis. Manish brings deep experience scaling B2B technology businesses across public and private markets, including acquisitions and strategic transitions.His leadership spans category-defining companies such as Redis, Sonar, Liaison, Oracle, and Apple, where he has successfully driven both product-led and sales-led growth. With domain expertise in software infrastructure, AI, SaaS, cloud, and communications, Manish is known for navigating complex business models and delivering sustainable growth.He has also served as an advisor, board member, and investor in early-stage startups. Manish holds Master's and Bachelor's degrees in Engineering from Georgia Tech and an MBA from Santa Clara University.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Silicon Valley:Tech needs a translator. Technology is hard to understand—even for your audience. “Translating really complex technologies into simple-to-deliver messaging is an art form,” Manish says. “Great technology needs a great story, right? The narrative is so important, and how you deliver the narrative and how you package it is key to the success.”Content is the engine. Not the garnish. Manish makes it clear: “The whole marketing engine should be built around content.” That means investing in formats your audience truly wants—like hands-on guides and short-form videos—and making sure every asset is tailored to a specific persona and stage in the journey.Human moments build brand trust. Whether it's the "Not Hotdog" app or the team playing their bizarre “Always Blue” game, Silicon Valley nails the emotional truth of startup life. That same humanity should be visible in your marketing. Quotes*“ We as marketing leaders have to be very mindful that not everything and everybody in every marketing organization can evolve and move at an exponentially improved pace just because you have the tools. Yes, it has to move on that trajectory, but there has to be a level of reality put into the expectation. Otherwise there's gonna be burnout.”*”I think particularly in the B2B tech space, you've got almost a bifurcation of folks that use the technology but don't have any budget ownership, versus people that have the decision-making authority and the budget ownership but aren't necessarily very close to the technology. And I think marketing has to deal with that two-pronged approach in everything that it does and the channels that get activated. The messaging that has to align with the audience is certainly the content that has to be created, and that can be complicated. Balancing that is a nuanced execution for marketing teams.”*”A CMO should run the entire marketing engine around content. And this is not to invoke the old adage of ‘Content is king,' but, you know, what are you at the end of the day? Delivering or communicating to your target audience, whether it's an existing customer or a prospect you're trying to win over. It is content and how you package that content, how you position it, what story and narrative is wrapped around the technology to deliver is really, at the end of the day, what matters.”Time Stamps[00:55] Meet Manish Gupta, 4-Time CMO[01:05] Why Silicon Valley?[08:22] What is Silicon Valley?[16:01] B2B Marketing Takeaways from Silicon Valley[24:02] Balancing Predictability and Innovation[28:10] Targeting Practitioners vs. Decision Makers[30:26] Creating How-To Content[33:18] Importance of Content[39:33] Measuring ROI Around a Series of Content[42:13] Advice for CMOs on Content Strategy[43:25] Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Manish on LinkedInAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

While fresh back from the Florida Dental Lab Association meeting in Orlando, THANKS JENSEN DENTAL (https://jensendental.com/)… we are still bringing you conversations from the exocad (https://exocad.com/) booth from the largest dental show in the world, IDS in Cologne Germany (https://www.english.ids-cologne.de/). But first… We are many, many months away from Chicago in February, but our very own Barb Warner is going to be the very first female Chair of the Cal-Lab Association (https://cal-lab.org/) that is over 100 years old. Let's make this the most well-attended event ever. Head over to Cal-Lab.org and sign up for this amazing meeting that takes place the Thursday and Friday of the same weekend as Lab Day Chicago. Let's all plan to go and support Barb! Now, first up we chat with a dentist from India, Dr. Manish Chhabra. After going though the school, Dr. Chhabra discovered that he really had a fondness for digital design. So he opened a lab. Eventurally he meets the owner of Leixir Dental Lab Group (https://www.leixir.com/) and formed a partnership to open a design center in India to support the group of labs. Starting with 2 employees and taking it to 300, Dr. Chhabra learned all about training and scaling. Now he has set off and created dgadental.com (https://dgadental.com/) to train clinicans and technicians using VR headsets. Then we sit down with someone from Ivoclar (https://www.ivoclar.com/en_li) that has a lot to do with their success, Tobias Specht. Tobias came on the podcast about 2 years ago and this time stops by to update us on celebrating 20 years of emax (https://www.ivoclar.com/en_li/products/metal-free-ceramics/all-ceramics) , their new Ivotion Printed Base (https://www.ivoclar.com/en_li/products/digital-processes/3d-printing-materials) and how easy it is to reline, what Ivoclar has going on at IDS in their two booths, and a new way to mill emax faster. So much is covered, it's hard to believe it all new from Ivoclar. Take it from Laura Prosser, the digital marketing manager for Ivoclar North America (https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us). She would like to invite you to start following them on Instagram.

They thought their bargain sea-view flat in Mumbai was a dream—until Rochelle began wandering the terrace at 1 a.m. with a frozen grin, growling in Urdu, and stalking their four-year-old. When she tried to hang herself with a bedsheet, he desperately called paranormal fixer Manish. Manish learns the previous tenant died the same way, and the vengeful spirit now rides Rochelle, strongest at the witching hour. A fierce midnight duel of mantra versus demon frees her—but the flat still sits empty, its lights dark, waiting for the next family to cross the threshold.

When we talk about the future of IT services, the conversation often revolves around the potential of AI and automation. But what does that really mean when applied at scale, across legacy infrastructure, evolving customer expectations, and real-world operational challenges?  In today's episode, I sat down with Manish Tandon, CEO of Zensar Technologies, to explore that very question. What emerged was a refreshingly pragmatic take on a space often overwhelmed by buzzwords. Manish leads a global organisation that's helping some of the UK's biggest businesses not just integrate AI, but rethink the foundation of their IT strategies. We discussed how Zensar is combining automation with a philosophy they call “experience-led everything,” a human-centric approach that puts users, not systems, at the centre of transformation. Through this lens, he explained how seemingly simple shifts like applying AI to reduce technical debt or drive internal engagement can lead to significant performance gains and improved outcomes across entire organisations. What I found particularly powerful was how Manish challenges the language around AI. He sees today's wave of generative and agentic AI as an evolution of long-standing automation principles, not a reinvention. That mindset is helping clients cut through the noise and focus on impact, such as faster delivery cycles, measurable productivity boosts, and tools that empower rather than replace human potential. We also touched on the ethical implications of AI, the nuances of implementation across different geographies, and the value of responsible AI governance at the application level, not just in principle. If your business is looking to adopt AI in a way that scales sensibly while delivering lasting value, this episode offers insights you won't want to miss. So how are you preparing to balance automation with empathy in your IT strategy, and are you building for systems or for people?
