Take Control of AI

As AI becomes central to service delivery, automation, and customer experience in the IT/ITeS industry, enterprises are faced with a pressing question: Is our infrastructure ready for AI at scale? The sector’s high-volume, high-velocity environments demand not just AI experimentation—but operationalized AI that is fast, secure, and compliant. Yet, scaling AI in production is complex. It requires robust compute capabilities, agile data pipelines, and a hybrid infrastructure strategy that balances performance with control. Many technology leaders are now rethinking their cloud choices—exploring private cloud and AI-ready datacenters to optimize performance while maintaining governance and cost-efficiency. This closed-door roundtable, hosted by The Economic Times CIO in association with CtrlS , will bring together senior IT leaders to discuss the architectural backbone for enterprise AI. The conversation will explore real-world implementation strategies, the role of infrastructure in AI acceleration, and how IT/ITeS firms can stay ahead by aligning AI ambitions with infrastructure maturity.

Many companies treat investments in new strategic initiatives and the technologies supporting them as a catch-all to solve pain points but have little ability to track and measure those investments’ impact on the business performance. Leaders need to ensure enterprise-wide visibility and adopt a data-driven culture that allows them to pinpoint which efforts are paying dividends or achieving the expected ROI and which are resulting in unnecessary friction and waste.
