HKT · Panel

Modernizing the Foundation - Why Your AI Ambitions Live or Die on Data & Infrastructure

AI ambitions rarely come with a blank cheque. As budgets tighten and finance scrutinises every rupee, tech leaders are under pressure to keep innovating while spending smarter. This panel explores how enterprises are funding their AI bets in a constrained environment, reallocating spend, sunsetting low-value projects, and building the business case for investment when every line item is questioned. The discussion will offer real strategies for stretching resources, prioritising ruthlessly, and proving returns without waiting for the perfect budget.
