TCS Bringing Life to Things: When IoT Meets New Tech ft. Sreenivasa Chakravarti

In the debut episode of the Bringing Life to Things podcast series, Sreenivasa Chakravarti – Vice President, IOT & Digital Engineering, TCS – explores how the convergence of IoT, AI, and other emerging technologies is reshaping industries and accelerating digital transformation. Sreenivasa emphasizes how industrial AI, cognitive AI, and generative AI all rely on real-time data, which IoT provides. Together, they unlock capabilities such as personalization, predictive behaviour, and autonomous and self-healing systems. This shift allows businesses to move from intuition-based decisions to data-driven experimentation and innovation.

The “secret sauce” lies in combining digital intelligence with physical context—using real-time data to understand, predict, and autonomously respond to real-world conditions. This shift is not just technological—it’s cultural and strategic. It empowers organizations to move from reactive to proactive and predictive decision-making. This episode is a masterclass in how to lead with technology—not just follow it. It sets the stage for deeper conversations and emphasizes how businesses can not only adapt to these changes but also lead through innovation.
