What will the rise of mega GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) data centers mean for Indian enterprises? With key developments in the technology landscape this week, the implications are significant: lower costs of LLM (Large Language Model) adoption, increased need for India-based data centers to meet sovereignty and compliance requirements, and growing demand for specialized talent to design and maintain this infrastructure. This Week in Tech, Rohit Pandharkar, Partner, Technology Consulting, EY India, unpacks what these shifts could mean for highly regulated industries and the broader enterprise landscape. #ShapeTheFutureWithConfidence #ThisWeekInTech #DataCenter

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐖𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐃𝐨 𝐢𝐧 𝐌𝐲 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝟗𝟎 𝐃𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐂𝐈𝐎 – 𝐁𝐲 Atin Agarwal When you step into the CIO’s chair, the first 90 days aren’t about proving how much you know — they’re about earning trust, understanding context, and setting a clear path forward. I remember my early CIO days when the temptation to “change everything” was strong. But rushing in without the right groundwork can derail even the most promising transformation. Here’s how I’d approach my first 90 days — aligned with AI-driven enterprises, cybersecurity-first mindsets, and business agility. Day 1–30: Listen Relentlessly Meet key stakeholders from C-suite to front-line teams. Assess the IT landscape — infrastructure, applications, governance, security posture. Build rapport — not just with decision-makers, but with people running operations. Example: At Vodafone Idea, immersion into challenges shaped a cloud migration strategy that improved resilience and reduced costs. Day 31–60: Diagnose & Prioritize Map technology strengths vs. business pain points. Evaluate cyber readiness — a non-negotiable in the current threat landscape. Identify quick wins (e.g., process automation, cost optimization) delivering results. Example: At Adani, ERP modernization was scoped within 45 days to enable real-time analytics for faster decision-making. Day 61–90: Act & Communicate Launch 2–3 initiatives with tangible business value. Establish KPIs and governance models to ensure accountability. Example: At DSM, Industry 4.0 adoption in manufacturing lines delivered measurable productivity gains in under a quarter. Trends I’d Integrate from Day One: AI/ML Automation: Accelerating insights, reducing manual effort, enabling predictive decision-making. Zero-Trust Security: Protecting enterprise assets in an increasingly borderless environment. Cloud & Edge Synergy: Enabling speed, scalability, and local processing. CIO’s success in the first 90 days is less about “technology for technology’s sake” and more about strategic enablement — aligning digital capabilities with business ambitions while fostering a culture ready for change. About Atin Agarwal Mr. Atin Agarwal is a seasoned technology and transformation leader with over 20 years of experience across telecom, FMCG, manufacturing, ITES, and conglomerates. He has held key roles at Vodafone Idea, Hitachi, Karam Industries, Adani, Airtel, DSM, and Birlasoft, leading enterprise digital initiatives focused on AI/ML automation, ERP modernization, Industry 4.0, cloud, and shared services across India and Africa.
