Ashish Arora reposted this🔍 Reflections on Operating Models in the Age of AI Over the past few months, I’ve had the opportunity to engage with our latest research at HCLTech on how organizations are evolving their operating models in response to AI-led disruption. One observation stands out: while many firms are extremely bullish on GenAI and digital transformation, scaling AI in the enterprise is no mean feet. Besides obvious challenges on responsibility, explainability etc. The real challenge is getting the IT teams and business to tango (still). The shift toward product-aligned operating models has been around for some time - AI accelerates the need for this shift. Companies which get this mature will reap the benefits of AI adoption at pace and scale – companies unable to progress this much needed shift in operating, will struggle. Interestingly, Europe appears to be leading in confidence and commitment to this model. Regulatory clarity and a strong focus on customer outcomes may be playing a role, but I suspect it’s also about mindset—balancing structure with adaptability. I would love to hear how you have approached this and what do you see working/where are the challenges? 📘 For those interested, the full report is here: https://lnkd.in/ehEMeQJf #AI #OperatingModel #Leadership #DigitalTransformation #CustomerCentricity #GenAI #HCLTech #EuropeAshish Arora reposted thisIn an era where #digital transformation is essential, our new global report, The Blueprint to #AI-led Operating Model: Mastering the Art of #Engineering Value at Velocity, highlights how product ways of working are positioning organizations to stay future-ready. Swipe for valuable insights from Ashish Kumar Gupta, Chief Growth Officer, Europe and Africa, Diversified Industries and Pawan Vadapalli, Corporate Vice President and Global Head of Digital Business Services, on how product-aligned operating models can shape future success in an AI-driven world.

It is therefore a source of great pride that I have stepped into a new role, leading ISG’s EMEA business and helping in turn to shape the future of our firm. Over the last eight years, I have had the benefit of learning from Steven Hall, whom I regard as both a mentor and a friend. His guidance, insight and willingness to invest time in my development have been invaluable, particularly in navigating complex strategic challenges. I wish him every success as he moves into his new position as ISG’s first Chief AI Officer. As I take on this responsibility, my focus will be on building on our strong foundation as a leading AI centred technology research and advisory firm. This position is rooted in our dedication to helping clients address their most complex challenges, supported by an exceptional team of leaders in Europe. I will continue to uphold our core principle of putting clients first. To those who have trusted ISG over the years, thank you. We remain committed to earning that trust every day! #ISG #AI

Ashish Arora liked thisAshish Arora liked thisAmazing few days well spent at NVIDIA GTC. The agentic push via Vera Rubin, virtualization of the stack, opening up to ecosystem partners with a mindset to leverage each others strengths only sets the stage for something beyond GPU / CPU compute. It’s now time to “verticalize the vertical stack” and create meaningful value apps that max out the compute capacity at a fraction of the TPW (tokens per watt). No more TLOT (tokens left on the table) 😊 Vertical Climbers, start your engines !

Ashish Arora liked thisAshish Arora liked this5,364 meters of grit, growth, and gratitude. My 14-year old son, Rihaan, and I just completed the trek to the Mount Everest Base Camp. In his words, “an elevating and grounding experience - at the same time”. As for me, this was a rich lesson in physical/mental endurance and a realization that true happiness is in finding, not seeking. A huge shoutout to my friend Ashish Shrivastava for being the spark! Your stories and encouragement were the ultimate inspiration to finally take this leap. I also have to give a nod to Google Gemini. It helped us build a progressive training schedule, create a solid packing list and manage the multiple health problems we faced at high altitude without any immediate healthcare facilities - it was like having a personal expedition consultant right in my pocket. We are back to a place where the air is easier to breathe in, and carrying a much larger perspective. #EverestBaseCamp #trekking #adventure #performance #resilience #LifeAtGoogle

Ashish Arora liked thisAshish Arora liked this“Aisa software main pahli baar dekh raha hoon. Every day I spend almost four hours just searching and reading tenders to decide whether we should bid. Then the next seven to eight days go into preparing the bid documentation. This is good. I want to sign up.” When you hear feedback like this during a live demo, it reassures you that you are solving a real problem. It was a great experience interacting with so many MSME manufacturers at the CIA MSME Expo. Manufacturing MSMEs today clearly recognize the massive public procurement opportunity in India. They are eager to participate and grow. What they are really looking for is simple. Less administrative work so they can focus on actual production. Access to more relevant tenders. Digitization that simplifies processes and enables business growth.

Ashish Arora liked thisAshish Arora liked thisToo many organisations are celebrating AI success based on a single metric: time saved. But time saved doing what, and where did that work go? I’ve seen organisations report impressive productivity gains only to realise they’d simply shifted effort elsewhere - more review cycles, more governance overhead, or more burden placed on employees to manage the AI itself. Time saved can be incremental and helpful. But it’s not necessarily transformational. A better lens is value created. That means using workplace data to drive measurable performance gains through hyper‑personalised experiences, proactive “invisible IT” that resolves issues before they’re noticed, and data‑led decisions that remove bottlenecks and friction across the workforce. My view is that AI shouldn’t just make work faster. It should make work demonstrably better - higher quality, fewer interruptions, and more meaningful outcomes. What’s harder in your organisation right now: measuring value, changing workflows, or driving adoption beyond early enthusiasts? #WeAreLenovo

Ashish Arora liked this111 Years in one room. Below post about our CEO stayed with me this week. Not because of the announcement. Because I had just seen the same story at a negotiation table lately. Seven HCLTech people sat in that room. Together, we carried 111 years of HCLTech experience. 111 years. That may sound like a dinosaur graveyard. It was the opposite. What I saw were seven sharp people at the height of their experience, fully in the game. This was not old tenure. This was accumulated power. Years of learning. Years of building. Years of solving problems under pressure. Years of taking ownership when it mattered. Some started as young engineers straight out of university in India. First role. First steps. Then came bigger challenges, new countries, Europe, new clients, more pressure, more responsibility. Year after year. And you could feel it in the room. In the calm. In confidence. In the ownership. Large programmes rarely fail because of technology alone. They fail when ownership is weak. That is why the CEO's story matters. Continuity at HCLTech is not only visible at the top. It lives across the company, in people who stayed, grew, delivered, and made the company’s reputation their own. At some point, commitment stops being a line in a proposal. It becomes personal. It becomes a promise. That is not comfort. That is conviction. That is HCLTech. And our customers can feel the difference. #HCLTech #Leadership #Ownership #Experience #Engineering #Consistency #TrustAshish Arora liked thisIn an industry obsessed with external hires, HCLTech chose continuity. In 2025, the company reappointed Vijayakumar C as CEO until 2030, a clear vote of confidence in a leader who has grown with the organization for over three decades. He joined HCL in 1994 as a #seniorengineer. No spotlight. No headline role. Just an engineer building systems. By 2016, he was leading the entire company. And he didn’t just manage it, he pivoted it. Under his #leadership, #HCLTech moved beyond traditional #ITservices into high-value areas like #semiconductorengineering, #softwareproducts, #cloud, #AI, #cybersecurity, and #digitalengineering. He sharpened the company’s global positioning, expanded enterprise relationships, and strengthened operational discipline at scale. At a time when the tech services industry faced pricing pressure and automation risks, Vijayakumar focused on building differentiated capabilities rather than chasing volume. His journey, from grassroots engineer to global CEO, reflects something rare in large organizations: homegrown leadership with long-term vision. The 2025 reappointment is not just about stability. It signals belief in a strategy that blends deep engineering roots with future-ready digital ambition. As AI, cloud, and enterprise transformation reshape the tech landscape, HCLTech is betting on a leader who understands both its legacy and its next leap. #HCLTech #Vijayakumar #Engineer #AI #Cloud #Technology
