SR DIRECTOR AND HEAD – CHANNELS, INDIA, ASEAN AND HONG KONG, NUTANIX
“Organizations today are navigating three converging shifts: the rise of AI, the risks of ungoverned ‘shadow AI,’ and increasing demand for data sovereignty. In India, the stakes are high. Our Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Index shows 96% of IT leaders see AI used outside official oversight as risky, and 73% report AI adoption emerging from non-IT functions. This drives a focus on centralized governance and cross-functional alignment. At Nutanix, we are evolving from providing infrastructure to delivering a governance framework. Container adoption is accelerating, ensuring cloud-native applications are secure, portable, and manageable across any environment. Our aim is to turn AI from a risk into a competitive advantage.
Our growth strategy focuses on helping enterprises become AI-Smart rather than AI-First. We are expanding hybrid multi-cloud capabilities that combine public cloud agility with on-premises control and support AI workloads and automated data services. Investments in R&D centers in Bengaluru and Pune ensure our roadmap meets the scale and complexity of the Indian market, enabling secure, efficient use of next-generation AI.
Nutanix accelerates digital transformation by reducing technical debt and complexity. Our unified platform runs traditional systems alongside modern AI workloads without costly re-platforming. Automation, security, and policy controls enable confident experimentation with GenAI and edge computing. This foundation gives organizations freedom of choice, accelerates innovation, maintains control, and prepares them for edge AI, quantum-ready infrastructure, and stricter data localization requirements.”
