Guest Presenter: Mahesh Calavai, Chief Digital & AI Officer, TVS Motor Group

Digital transformation entails solving for several horizons simultaneously. While the transformation is often understood as being ready for tomorrow and therefore has some glitter with the association, it almost always involves transforming what has been built previously, necessitating reduction of technical debt, reorchestration of business flows into new architectures, and reskilling of talent. One has to also deliver for the present in terms of business results, systems performance, and algorithms. Further, building for the future involves extensive groundwork in shoring up people, processes, metrics, and technology. The presentation will illustrate these yesterday, today and tomorrow aspects by detailing a real-life digital transformation in progress in the mobility industry.
