The Data Advantage: Building for the AI Era | Matthew Oostveen & Ramanujam Komanduri | Everpure

AI has made data the most valuable thing a company owns. But does your organisation actually know what data it has, where it sits and who can access it? In this episode of Leadership Lessons, host Hrishikesh Kannan speaks with Matthew Oostveen, Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, Asia Pacific and Japan, Everpure, and Ramanujam Komanduri, Country Manager, Everpure India, about the data problem sitting underneath the AI opportunity. They discuss why data has become king, why so many AI pilots struggle to move into production, and why the best AI projects start with the outcome rather than the tool. The conversation also covers shadow data and dark data, what data sovereignty really means for Indian organisations under the DPDP Act, and the questions every CIO should be asking their data team right now.
