On the latest episode of Technogram by Redington, Deepak Puligadda, Global Chief Technology Officer at Redington Limited, engages in a powerful yet candid conversation with Suresh V Shankar, Founder & CEO of Crayon Data — the company behind Tangram.ai and Maya.ai — on where AI is truly heading, and what it takes to move from experimentation to enterprise-scale impact. Takeaways: 70% AI readiness may become the new competitive edge, separating organizations that are piloting from those that are scaling with intent and measurable outcomes. The mindset gap between AI natives and AI immigrants is widening, reshaping how enterprises approach adoption, governance, and innovation velocity.
