Vijayant Rai says Indian IT must deliver real AI results
Artificial intelligence is opening new doors for Indian IT companies, but it means the old ways of working won't cut it anymore.
Snowflake India's managing director Vijayant Rai says businesses now want real results from their tech investments, not just AI experiments, so IT firms need to rethink how they deliver value.
Prioritize AI frameworks and data engineering
Rai points out that instead of relying on big teams and billable hours, IT companies should focus on high-impact services like building AI frameworks, data engineering, and industry-specific solutions.
Helping businesses upgrade their old systems for AI is a huge opportunity too: Snowflake's own AI Data Cloud aims to make this easier by connecting data and integrating smart models.
As Rai puts it, the future is about helping organizations actually use their data and AI without getting stuck on technical hurdles.
