#FrontPageLIVE 🔴 GalaxEye just launched the world's first OptoSAR satellite, AI is putting up to $10 billion of Indian IT revenue at risk, and India has allocated 600 acres for its indigenous fifth-gen stealth fighter. That is just the start of today's Front Page. We are also getting into Karnataka's high-speed rail push linking Bengaluru, Chennai, and Hyderabad, Applied Materials securing 140 acres in Bengaluru for semiconductor manufacturing, and why banks are stuck in an endless AI pilot loop with little to show for it. Plus, the Pentagon signed AI deals with major tech firms, but left one notable name off the list. All of this and more, live on AIM Network.

If you want to scale AI operations in the enterprise space, there's one thumb rule to follow: It's not about the technology but rather the decisions made around it. To dive deeper into this, SimplifyX's webinar is bringing together four leaders, who have navigated that at a close lens, on 8 May 2026, from 5.00 pm to 6.00 pm. In the Zoom webinar, titled "AI Beyond the Hype: Delivering Real Business Value", Vinay Nadig, CEO of SimplifyX, will be joined by Pramod Rawat, BFSI Leader; Amit Raman, Director of Global Data Products at Visa; Nitin Nath, Head of Applications and Enterprise Architecture at AXA Global Business Services; and M Sanjay Kumar, Vice President of Tech Strategy and Architecture at Standard Chartered Bank, each bringing real-world deployment experience from some of the world's most complex enterprise environments.

Most enterprise AI investments look promising on paper and underwhelming in practice, and the gap between the two is exactly what SimplifyX is addressing in its upcoming webinar, AI Beyond the Hype: Delivering Real Business Value, on 8 May 2026 from 5.00 pm to 6.00 pm. Vinay Nadig, CEO of SimplifyX, will be joined by Pramod Rawat, BFSI Leader; Amit Raman, Director of Global Data Products at Visa; Nitin Nath, Head of Applications and Enterprise Architecture at AXA Global Business Services; and M Sanjay Kumar, Vice President of Tech Strategy and Architecture at Standard Chartered Bank. The conversation will cover building scalable AI strategies, managing ROI expectations, moving from pilots to production, and identifying what genuinely matters when implementing AI at scale. If your organisation has invested in AI and is still waiting to see it translate into measurable outcomes, this is the session worth an hour of your time.

After two successful editions in Bengaluru and Chennai, the AI Foundry is heading to Hyderabad on 23 May 2026, where @TredenceInc and AIM will bring together around 100 AI practitioners for a full day of hands-on system design and problem-solving. Participants work in small teams on real-world problem statements, moving through the full lifecycle of building an AI system, from defining user journeys to designing architecture and planning deployment. The focus is on agentic workflows, orchestration layers, and generative AI applications, built to be production-ready, not just impressive on paper. If you have spent years building AI systems and are ready to work through the hard parts with people who get it, this one is for you. If you are past the basics and deep in the realities of building production AI, this is where you belong. Hyderabad's strong GCC presence makes this edition particularly well-timed. 📅 23 May 2026 | 10 AM – 5 PM 📍 Tredence Office, Sky One, Prestige Skytech, Hyderabad Register now:aim.media/discover-event… Know more:analyticsindiamag.com/ai-highlights/… #AIFoundry #Tredence #HyderabadAI #AIWorkshop #GenerativeAI

India's pharma GCCs have spent years building a reputation for execution. Now, AI is pushing them to do something far harder: own the decisions, not just deliver the insights. Across global pharmaceutical companies, centres in India are taking on responsibilities that were once firmly held at headquarters, and the scale behind this shift is significant. Over 80 healthcare and life sciences GCCs operate in the country, collectively managing an estimated 45% of global drug discovery activity and 60% of regulatory affairs. But scale alone is not the story. According to EY's GCC Pulse Survey 2025, 58% of GCCs in India are already investing in agentic AI, yet the bigger challenge remains structural. Data is fragmented, governance models are outdated, and the question of who owns an outcome when an algorithm shapes the recommendation is still being worked out. "The platform is only half the answer," says Madhu Krishnan, Head of Data Science and BI Solutions GCC at Bristol Myers Squibb, adding that no amount of AI investment substitutes for redesigning the process from first principles. The GCCs making the leap share one defining trait: they measure success in business outcomes, not analytical throughput. As Neha Agarwal, Head of Data Enablement and Operations at Novartis, puts it, the shift from support centre to global nerve centre "is not a technology upgrade. It is a leadership choice."

Days after @Google kicked off its $15 billion investment plans in Visakhapatnam, Infosys has announced a permanent 20-acre campus in the city to accommodate around 7,000 people, with land already allotted by the state government. The company has grown its local workforce from around 250 in early 2024 to nearly 1,900, with 750 more seats coming soon and over 1,500 regional hires already on board. Visakhapatnam's IT momentum is accelerating fast, with @Cognizant investing ₹1,583 crore for 8,000 jobs, @TCS allotted a 30-acre parcel, and @Wipro in expansion mode. The state has promised @Google, @Meta, @reliancegroup, TCS, and others a combined 5 GW of data centre capacity in the city alone. "The growth of Visakhapatnam as an IT hub is a direct reflection of the strength of our local talent and the ecosystem we are building around it," said @naralokesh, Minister for IT, Electronics and Education, Andhra Pradesh. #Infosys #Visakhapatnam #AndhraPradesh #ITHub #TechNews

#FrontPageLIVE 🔴 Infosys has slipped out of India's top 10 most valued companies after losing ₹2 lakh crore, with AI-led pricing deflation and slowing billable hours disrupting the traditional IT services model in ways the industry is still trying to absorb. Meanwhile, Indian AI startups just had their best quarter on record, securing $680 million in Q1 2026 driven by a massive infrastructure bet on Neysa and a clear shift toward enterprise monetisation. Mangaluru is quietly becoming India's next distributed AI talent hub with @Wipro, @Bose, and @Deloitte all moving in, and Bengaluru just launched India's first dedicated clinical prevention centre using AI-led MRI and CT protocols that detected critical diseases in 26% of asymptomatic patients during its pilot.

A quantum reference facility built in 90 days. 50,000 students registered for quantum programmes in a single week. And a 30-year @IBM veteran who walked away from software to build cryogenic hardware from scratch with zero prior experience. L Venkata Subramaniam (@folktechnology), Chief Executive of @qbit_force, joins AIM Front Page to break down what is actually being built in Amaravati, the roadmap to 100 indigenous quantum computers, why export controls still block India's chip fabrication ambitions, and what a 2029 encryption deadline means for national security.

When India's Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw walked onto the stage at Google Cloud Next 2026, his address was a statement to the world about where India is headed in Al and digital infrastructure. It drew a clear line between the central government's vision and on-the-ground execution, pointing to leaders like Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, whose push for data centres and Al ecosystems has been turning policy into reality. The narrative painted a picture of a country actively shaping the global Al ecosystem. #AshwiniVaishnaw #GoogleCloudNext #IndiaAl #ChandrababuNaidu #Digitallndia @ITBTGoK @AshwiniVaishnaw @ncbn @Google @googlecloud @naralokesh

Still relying on cloud GPUs every time you want to test a model? That constant back-and-forth, the wait times, the dependency, it all adds up. What if you could run, test and fine-tune your models locally, without relying on external infrastructure every single time? At the Mumbai edition of GenAI: From Build to Impact Meetup, Hosted by @rptechindia, an @NVIDIA Partner, in association with AIM, you’ll see how teams are doing exactly that using NVIDIA DGX Spark, through live demos and practical workflows led by Harshad Kunjir and Kuruba Ajay Kumar. 📍 91Springboard 74 Techno Park Andheri East 📅 May 9, 2026 Register NOW: tinyurl.com/NVIDIA-DGX-Mum… #GenerativeAI #AIInfrastructure #MachineLearning #NVIDIA #AIDevelopers
