At #DES2025, Prakash Rajagopalan, Head of Technology Consulting at Tiger Analytics, delivered a compelling and forward-looking session on how Generative AI is revolutionizing the enterprise data ecosystem and redefining the role of data engineering. In a world where Google and Microsoft predict that 25-30% of all code will soon be AI-generated—and Anthropic anticipates a staggering 90-200% increase in automation by 2029—Prakash painted a vivid picture of how GenAI is not just another tool, but a force fundamentally reshaping how data is managed, built, and consumed. With over 500 million weekly users on ChatGPT and UN reports suggesting that 40% of global jobs will be impacted, the conversation underscored the urgency for organizations to reimagine their data strategies. Prakash also addressed the evolving enterprise mindset, citing Gartner’s Hype Cycle, which signals a clear shift from early skepticism to widespread adoption. Backed by insights from METR, showing that AI task lengths are doubling every 7 months, the session emphasized the need for data engineers and leaders to embrace continuous learning, redesign workflows, and integrate adaptive AI tools. This keynote served as a wake-up call and roadmap—highlighting real-world use cases, critical skill sets, and the importance of aligning people, processes, and platforms to thrive in the age of AI.

What does it take to build AI that prices millions of items fairly, competitively, and in real time? Rohit Punnoose, Sr. Director of Data Sciences, and Shamally Chopra, Director of Competitive Intelligence & Pricing at Target in India, delivered a powerful session on “Driving a billion smart decisions in real time” at Target Multiplai 2025. They offered a rare behind-the-scenes look into how pricing at Target is more than just math - it’s a high-stakes orchestration of demand signals, vendor dynamics, fulfillment realities, and evolving guest expectations. From causal models that isolate price elasticity to randomized control–inspired frameworks that measure real-world impact, Rohit and Shamally unpacked how Target’s pricing intelligence is built for scale and speed across assortments and channels, clarity and explainability in decision-making and balance across revenue, margin, competitiveness, and guest trust. . #TargetMultiplai2025 #TargetinIndia #AIinRetail #PricingOptimisation
