Wipro's Global CIO on AI breakthrough: Why the real revolution happens quietly
'AI without orchestration is a very expensive experiment.' That's the line Kenny Kesar, Global CIO at Wipro, left the audience with—and it echoed far beyond his seven-minute a tightly packed storytelling session at the ETCIO Annual Conclave 2025, Kesar walked the audience through what he called Wipro's 'big win': transitioning from scattered AI pilots to enterprise-wide, invisible, and scalable AI transformation. This was not a hype-driven narrative. It was a roadmap—a philosophical, technical, and operational guide to doing AI right. 'Every CIO in the last 24 months has been asked the same question,' Kesar opened. 'When will our AI strategy move from automation to transformation?' While enterprises invested heavily in proof-of-concepts (POCs), most struggled to get to production. Kesar identified the core reason: trying to solve the most complex problem first—often without the guardrails of process orchestration. 'AI needs to be embedded into the DNA, not layered on top,' he said. 'Without orchestration, we're not transforming—we're experimenting.' AI 360: Systemic innovation, not siloed tools Wipro's answer? A shift from scattered innovation to systemic innovation. At the heart of this shift is the company's AI 360 platform, underpinned by a $1 billion commitment to infuse AI across all business layers. This meant breaking down silos across Wipro's 230,000+ engineers, standardizing use case models, and building a reusable AI platform with scalability and velocity baked in. 'True AI becomes invisible—just like APIs. It works best when you don't notice it,' Kesar emphasized. This invisibility isn't about downplaying AI. It's about integration so seamless that AI becomes part of the business logic—not a premium add-on. Data fabric, not data hype Wipro's AI journey also confronted a painful reality: structured data still poses challenges for AI models. While unstructured data is fertile ground for generative models, Kesar stressed the need to build robust data fabrics and AI fabrics to support role-based copilots and production-ready deployments. Perhaps the most compelling insight came from Kesar's analogy: 'AI is like a convex lens—when focused, it converges powerfully; when scattered, it distorts.' This metaphor guided Wipro's decision to prioritize 70 high-impact AI use cases across finance, HR, delivery, and more. Each use case was categorized into: Change the GameDeliver BetterOperate Better These were then operationalized through a hybrid of build-and-buy strategies and deployed via MLops pipelines, ensuring AI lifecycle scalability. Building quietly, scaling intentionally While the industry continues to chase AI headlines, Wipro has taken the contrarian view. Its AI revolution is not loud—it's systematic, silent, and at scale. Kesar emphasized, 'The more we talk about AI, the more we raise eyebrows. Our approach is: embed it, don't advertise it.' The impact is real. Wipro now sees AI use cases touching every major pillar—from growth to experience to productivity—with ongoing ROI and platform reusability. Kenny Kesar's spotlight session distilled a pragmatic roadmap for enterprise AI transformation. His central message was clear: AI success isn't about complexity or noise—it's about orchestration, focus, and silent scale. Wipro's journey shows that real impact comes when AI is embedded invisibly into processes, governed by a robust platform, and aligned to business outcomes through prioritized use cases. From collapsing silos to building a reusable AI fabric and deploying MLOps at scale, Wipro's transformation underscores that systematic innovation trumps scattered experimentation. CIOs must start small, build guardrails from day zero, and reimagine AI not as a buzzword, but as a lens for business reinvention .

India's top manufacturing CIOs on mastering IIoT transformation
The future of manufacturing is already unfolding—on data-rich factory floors where machines communicate, predict, and even collaborate with human operators. But as the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) rapidly scales, a critical question arises: how can manufacturers unlock its potential without becoming overwhelmed by its complexity?At the ETCIO Annual Conclave 2025, leading voices from India's manufacturing and technology ecosystem came together to unpack this very challenge. Moderated by ETCIO Editor Muqbil Ahmar, the discussion brought to light a nuanced view of India's industrial transformation—one that's ambitious, grounded, and acutely aware of the operational, cultural, and technological realities. Reimagining the factory: From industry 4.0 to industry 5.0 Debashish Roy, CDTO at CEAT, painted a vivid picture of the transition from Industry 4.0 to Industry 5.0, spotlighting a future driven not just by automation but by human-centric design, sustainability, and the rise of collaborative robots ( cobots ). 'Cobots are not traditional robots. These are designed to work alongside humans, enhancing both productivity and safety,' Roy said. Roy also introduced emerging concepts like foresight factories, which go beyond predictive maintenance to adapt in real-time to shifting demand signals, as well as experience hubs powered by AR/VR and the industrial metaverse—a space where training, inspection, and visualization converge for operational excellence. Smart factories must deliver across three dimensions Gaurav Kataria, VP – Digital & CDIO at ITC, broadened the definition of success. Smart manufacturing , he emphasized, must create impact across three layers: operational efficiency, revenue generation, and societal value. With digital tools delivering a 2.4% EBITDA boost at ITC's paper division, the results speak for themselves. But challenges remain—especially when it comes to democratizing technology for MSMEs, which form the backbone of India's manufacturing sector. 'We haven't yet figured out how to make Industry 4.0 affordable for MSMEs. But the intent and innovation are already there,' Kataria added, citing examples of small manufacturers adopting 3D printing and modular solutions to great effect. The real barriers to smart manufacturing The panelists didn't shy away from identifying what's holding smart factory dreams back. The list was familiar but still formidable: legacy machines that aren't sensor-ready, siloed and outdated processes, under-skilled workforces, and the often-fatal mistake of deploying tech before defining a problem. 'We need business translators—those who understand the language of both the factory floor and AI algorithms,' Kataria asserted. Without this bridge, even the most advanced IIoT solution risks becoming just another dashboard collecting dust. Agentic AI and machines that talk back For Harsh Vardhan, CDO at Apollo Tyres, smart manufacturing success lies in linking bold innovation with clear business value. He shared Apollo's internal initiative, 'Machines Are Talking,' where engineers interact with equipment via agentic AI frameworks—a system built with explainability, cost controls, and security embedded by design. 'We tried causal AI with quantum-inspired ML for demand sensing,' Vardhan said. 'It sounded like science fiction, but the impact was real and measurable.' This kind of experimentation, he stressed, must be grounded in ROI, scalability, and alignment with organizational priorities to avoid pilot fatigue. Reliance Jio's lego model for scalable IIoT Kavit Gupta from Reliance Jio presented a commercial model built to solve IIoT's toughest blockers: cost, integration complexity, and legacy constraints. Jio's Lego-as-a-Service framework enables plug-and-play adoption of solutions like smart surveillance, connected vehicles, and private 5G, all pre-tested in Jio's own Jamnagar plant and scaled across industries like aerospace and automotive. 'We've helped Airbus reduce inspection times by 80%. For Hitachi, we've cut plant downtime in half using edge analytics,' Gupta said. The key, he noted, is shifting from capex-heavy deployments to as-a-service models that accelerate experimentation and lower risk for manufacturers. When dashboards turn into dollars Rounding off the panel, Santosh Kumar Satapathy, Group CIO at Indian Metals & Ferro Alloys, shared a powerful case study that proves smart manufacturing's ROI potential. By integrating SAP S/4HANA with ML models and dealer systems, and layering it with end-to-end visibility, the company achieved: 23% reduction in inventory15–17% improvement in cash flowFaster and smarter procurement-to-delivery cycles 'The real breakthrough wasn't just better analytics—it was aligning digital architecture with financial performance and operational cadence,' Satapathy explained. The session made one thing clear: smart factories don't emerge from adopting the latest tech—they are built through strategic alignment, relentless process rethinking, and empowering people with the right tools. While enterprises like CEAT, ITC, and Reliance are scaling Industry 5.0 frameworks, the real opportunity lies in extending this momentum to the broader industrial landscape—including MSMEs. The convergence of agentic AI, foresight-driven production, and modular adoption models promises a new chapter in Indian manufacturing—one where innovation is both inclusive and outcome-driven.

Cloud 3.0: Reinventing infrastructure for the AI-first enterprise
As cloud infrastructure enters its third major evolution, the rules of the game are shifting. What was once about cost and scale is now about intelligence, embedded AI, autonomous operations, and regulatory readiness. The arrival of Cloud 3.0 is transforming not just IT infrastructure—but the very fabric of how businesses operate, innovate, and a dynamic fireside chat at the ETCIO Annual Conclave 2025, moderator Sneha Jha, Editor, ETCIO, explored this next frontier with two leaders navigating complex, high-scale cloud journeys: Ruma Kishore, Director – Global Business Digital Transformation, UnileverRavi Kumar, Sr. EVP & Head of Technology, Kotak Mahindra Bank Together, they offered a blueprint for CIOs seeking to thrive in the age of AI-native, cloud-agnostic infrastructure. Cloud 3.0 is already here—If you're ready to see it 'Two-thirds of the planet uses a Unilever product,' said Ruma Kishore, grounding the conversation in scale. For a global FMCG behemoth, Cloud 3.0 is not hype—it's embedded in the DNA of transformation. 'We completed a full migration to cloud by 2023. SAP on Azure. Sales and CD on GCP. A truly multi-cloud architecture .' But Cloud 3.0 is not about infrastructure alone—it's about intelligence and autonomy. In Unilever's case, AI-powered digital twins and a manufacturing metaverse are now deployed across 270+ factories globally. 'We're seeing real operational gains—not in theory, but through business outcomes. From productivity to efficiency, Cloud 3.0 is at the core.' Yet even with all the promise, Kishore cautioned: 'Sometimes, you need to peek behind the cloud.' Whether it's security, resilience, or vendor transparency—leaders must go beyond abstraction and inspect how cloud services are actually architected. In banking, Cloud 3.0 is no longer a luxury—It's a survival imperative For Ravi Kumar of Kotak Mahindra Bank, Cloud 3.0 is the foundation for staying relevant in a world dominated by cloud-native fintechs . 'Fintechs are born in the cloud. They're fast by default. Banks need to rebuild—not just modernize—if we want to keep up.' This means moving from monoliths to microservices, adopting API-first thinking, and deploying self-healing and self-provisioning systems to scale securely. 'Every digital customer experience you see today—from UPI to wealth—is backed by cloud-native infrastructure. But the real change must start at the core.' Kotak is reshaping its data and application architectures to enable real-time analytics, cloud-native personalization, and population-scale performance. AI at scale: The new benchmark of cloud success Kishore offered a striking example of how Unilever is reducing time-to-market through cloud-powered in-silico R&D. From deodorant biomechanics to sunscreen melanin formulations, R&D models are now run virtually—cutting the cost and time of physical experimentation. 'Our cloud lets us simulate, iterate, and scale insights faster than ever before. We're collapsing the distance between consumer signals and product creation.' Kumar echoed this shift: 'The faster you turn data into insight, the more competitive you become. That's only possible on a cloud-native AI stack.' Governance, not just agility, defines cloud 3.0 While agility is the promise, governance is the price of admission. In highly regulated industries like BFSI, Cloud 3.0 is impossible without airtight frameworks. Kumar emphasized that regulators like RBI aren't mandating sovereign clouds—but they do demand uncompromising data governance. 'Zero trust isn't optional. Encryption, posture management, observability—it all needs to be part of your architecture from day zero.' He noted that FinOps, MLOps, and continuous audit-readiness are essential to staying compliant while still scaling innovation. As the session drew to a close, Kishore looked forward to an AI-shaped cloud landscape. 'From edge devices to centralized cloud, AI will make us think harder about where we compute—and why.' She advocated for "spectrum thinking": balancing distributed intelligence at the edge with centralized cloud scale, guided by business context over technology obsession. Kumar's advice to CIOs starting their journey was clear: 'Build flexible architectures—but start with strong guardrails. Design for change, not just control.' Cloud 3.0 is not just about better infrastructure—it's about redefining enterprise agility and intelligence. From Unilever's cloud-native digital twins to Kotak's regulatory-ready AI architectures, the session revealed a future where: Cloud-native architectures enable real-time, AI-driven business decisionsZero trust and data sovereignty are built into design—not added on laterDigital R&D and intelligent edge computing will define industry speed Governance, not hype, will separate the agile from the fragile
