SANDEEP BHAMBURE, MANAGING DIRECTOR AND VICE
PRESIDENT – INDIA AND SAARC, VEEAM SOFTWARE
Veeam sees AI readiness fundamentally as a data-trust challenge. While AI can improve productivity, automation and digital services, organisations must ensure that underlying data remains accurate, secure, governed, available and recoverable. Growing expectations around privacy, governance and cyber resilience further increase this requirement. Veeam’s cited research indicates that although 88% of organisations are using or piloting AI agents, only 7% consider themselves fully AI-ready, while 95% report data challenges slowing AI progress. Veeam therefore focuses on strengthening data resilience, governance and recovery across cloud, virtual, physical and SaaS environments. The objective is to maintain visibility and control over AI-related data while ensuring businesscritical information remains protected and recoverable.
