As we zoom out, Raj highlights key ecosystem shifts, such as the growing importance of cross-industry collaboration and transforming customer expectations in the age of intelligent agents. He also offers advice on how to modernize without disrupting core systems, emphasizing the value of continuous learning, hands-on experimentation, and practical frameworks that reduce time to impact. If your organization is navigating digital transformation or exploring responsible AI deployment, this conversation offers both a strategic lens and real-world examples to help you move forward with clarity.
