26:17 - Banks are slow in their transition to cloud and sometimes, in their defense, due to the right reasons such as regulatory ambiguity and mission criticality of several systems. However, the pace has picked up in the last couple of years. What are some of the barriers for cloud adoption in banks and how is this scenario changing from your experience?
