Manu Dwivedi shared thisCan trust scale as fast as AI? As AI continues to reshape the way we work and make decisions, I’ve been reflecting on this a lot lately. Innovation and trust cannot be trade-offs. The challenge for leaders today is to scale both - building resilience, accountability, and confidence alongside technological progress. The 5th edition of the GCC Risk Symposium provides an opportunity for leaders to exchange perspectives on what it takes to build trust at the speed of AI. Because the future will belong not just to the fastest movers, but to the most trusted ones. #GCCRiskSymposium #TrustAtTheSpeedOfAI #FutureOfRisk #PwCPune Siddharth Vishwanath Unnikrishnan P Minaar MalseManu Dwivedi shared thisWe’re excited to host the fifth edition of our GCC Risk Symposium, focused on trust at the speed of AI, bringing together senior risk leaders from across GCCs for a candid, peer-led conversation on trust at the speed of AI. Artificial intelligence is transforming enterprises at unprecedented speed, redefining how decisions are made, value is created and risks emerge. In this new era, trust has become both the most valuable and the most vulnerable currency. Move too fast without earning it, and reputational, regulatory and operational risks can follow. Move too cautiously, and relevance can be at stake. At the symposium, we’ll explore how today’s C-suite can strike that delicate balance, with a focus on: • Pairing bold AI ambition with responsible execution • Moving from experimentation to scaled, trusted deployment • Evolving risk, governance and culture at speed Stay tuned for more insights. #GCCRiskSymposium #TrustAtTheSpeedOfAI #ResponsibleAI #FutureOfRisk

Manu Dwivedi shared thisGrowth today depends on supply chains that move faster, reach farther, and rely on more partners than ever before. But with greater reach comes greater exposure. As Indian organizations expand across borders and platforms, supply chains are becoming digital, distributed, and deeply interconnected. This complexity creates real business value - yet it also opens the door to cyber threats, operational disruption, and third-party risk that often go unnoticed until it’s too late. Avinash Iyer, shares why leaders must rethink how they view supply chain risk. Securing operations isn’t just about protecting systems anymore - it’s about safeguarding relationships, data flows, and business continuity across the entire ecosystem. Learn how organizations can shift from reactive controls to proactive resilience and make supply chain security a competitive advantage.

India’s supply chains have evolved into complex networks of global partners, platforms and critical dependencies. This unlocks opportunity but also hidden vulnerabilities.

Manu Dwivedi liked thisManu Dwivedi liked thisA great week of conversations with industry leaders. Also, key insights and learning at the PwC - GCC Risk Symposium in Bengaluru. One of the highlights of last week was meeting Aanchal Gupta, Chief Security Officer, and exchanging perspectives on the evolving Cybersecurity landscape, AI security and the opportunities emerging at the intersection of AI, Cyber risk and Digital transformation. The GCC Risk Symposium brought together incredible leaders and practitioners from across the GCC ecosystem, making it a valuable platform to share experiences, challenge conventional thinking and explore what’s next for Cyber and Digital risk. A big takeaway for me: The future of Cybersecurity will require us to move beyond protecting technology to building security into how AI-powered businesses operate.

Manu Dwivedi liked thisManu Dwivedi liked this50 + CXOs. One room. One shared ambition … to build organisations that are future-ready, resilient and responsible. When CIOs, CISOs, CTOs, CFOs and business leaders come together with diverse perspectives and a common commitment to shaping the future, the impact goes far beyond a generic conference room conversation ! It creates a powerful exchange of ideas, challenges conventional thinking and turns individual insights into collective intelligence. Had the opportunity to be part of an engaging CXO forum with conversations spanning AI trust, enterprise readiness, responsible AI, governance and the challenges of scaling AI. One thought echoed across the room .. AI readiness goes beyond technology, it requires strong guardrails, robust controls, committed leadership, and most importantly, people who are equipped to navigate the change. Investing in training, building AI literacy and enabling stakeholders to adopt new ways of working with confidence and trust will be critical to responsible AI adoption. Balance speed with safeguards and innovation with accountability !! ISACA Hyderabad Chapter

Manu Dwivedi liked thisManu Dwivedi liked thisOne of the things I enjoy most about strategy work is creating space for meaningful conversations. The kind that challenge assumptions, bring different perspectives together, and sometimes leave you with more questions than answers. Last week, I had the privilege of facilitating a two-day strategy workshop with the AGBS ExCom following AXA Groups announcement of its new strategic ambition, Growing Forward. As a strategy practitioner, some of my most rewarding moments aren't in the workshop itself. They're in the months leading up to it, listening, learning, challenging assumptions, and connecting the dots. Over that period, I had the opportunity to engage with leaders and partners across the Group, including our CEO, to better understand their expectations of AGBS, the opportunities ahead, and the role we can play in helping AXA deliver its ambition. Those discussions challenged our thinking, broadened our perspective, and helped shape the questions we needed to answer as a leadership team. What made these two days particularly energizing was not just talking about where we want to go but reflecting on how far AGBS has already come. Over the last strategic cycle, AGBS has transformed significantly, strengthening its capabilities, expanding its impact, and evolving its role within the AXA ecosystem. Those foundations give us the opportunity to think bigger about the value we can create for the Group and our partner entities in the years ahead. Across the two days, we explored some fundamental questions: • How should AGBS continue to evolve its positioning? • How do we fully embrace an AI-driven operating model? • How do we move from delivering services to delivering measurable business outcomes? What stood out to me was the openness in the room. There were diverse viewpoints, healthy debates, and a genuine willingness to challenge the status quo. Not because we had all the answers, but because everyone was committed to finding the right ones. This workshop laid the foundation for defining AGBSs ambition for 2027-29 and shaping the path ahead. There is still a lot of work to do, but I left the room energized by the ambition, ownership, and commitment of the leadership team. A special thank you to Karthik, Shivani and Deepthi. A lot of the work happened long before the workshop itself. From gathering external perspectives and stakeholder insights to shaping the storyline and challenging our thinking, this was truly a team effort. For me, the biggest takeaway was simple: strategy is rarely about finding the perfect answer. It's about bringing the right people together to ask the right questions and having the courage to shape the future together.
