Rishi Katdare shared thisIf your entitlement model cannot tell the truth about consumption, your AI pricing model is already fiction. My new article on Forbes Technology Council examines why AI monetization depends on the operating discipline behind pricing, including entitlements, metering, usage visibility and renewal proof. #EnterpriseAI #AIMonetization #SaaSWhy Your Entitlement Model Will Decide What Revenue You CaptureWhy Your Entitlement Model Will Decide What Revenue You Capture

Rishi Katdare shared thisHonored to be featured by Forbes Councils. The real test for AI in Financial Services is not whether a model works in a lab. It is whether the enterprise can run it in production with the infrastructure, ownership, controls, and accountability required to trust the outcome. That is the line between AI experimentation and strategy.From Product to Infrastructure: Rishi Katdare Is Helping Financial Services Make AI Work in the Real WorldFrom Product to Infrastructure: Rishi Katdare Is Helping Financial Services Make AI Work in the Real World

Rishi Katdare shared thisProud to see Amazon Web Services (AWS) represented at Datadog DASH 2026 today. This partnership has real scale behind it. Over $2B transacted through AWS Marketplace, 33,200+ Datadog customers and an expanded strategic collaboration focused on helping enterprises de-risk cloud migrations, accelerate modernization, and deploy GenAI with confidence. Cloud observability is no longer a DevOps line item. It is a board-level conversation about operational resilience and speed to market. That is exactly where AWS Networking and Edge Services play. If you are thinking about how your organization gets full-stack visibility across cloud, network, and edge, my team is building this with partners like Datadog every day.

Rishi Katdare shared thisMy team at Amazon Web Services (AWS) is growing. We are looking for exceptional talent to join the Networking and Edge team within the Worldwide Specialists Organization. This team sits at the intersection of cloud networking, content delivery, perimeter security, and edge compute, where the most consequential enterprise workloads are being reimagined to support AI at scale. If you are passionate about helping customers modernize their network architecture and accelerate AI outcomes, this is a team worth exploring. If we have worked together in the past, I am happy to refer you directly. https://lnkd.in/g6idS7zD #AWS #CloudNetworking #EdgeComputing #AmazonCloudFront #AWSWAF #AWSShield #GlobalAccelerator #AI #Hiring

Rishi Katdare shared thisA real AI operating model does not begin with a steering committee. It begins with named accountability. That is the core argument in my latest Forbes Technology Council article https://lnkd.in/gr5bA4ic #AILeadership #EnterpriseAI #AI

Rishi Katdare liked thisGreat to see us expand AWS Interconnect Last Mile with AT&T; we continue to overhaul the end to end connectivity story and with AT&T we now have the ability to deliver private cloud connectivity to the massive network AT&T have built across the US! Super excited!Rishi Katdare liked thisToday, AT&T and AWS closed one of the most overlooked gaps in enterprise cloud: the last mile and the interconnect. AWS Interconnect – last mile is now in preview for qualifying customers, bringing AT&T fiber and fixed wireless directly into AWS environments. For enterprises scaling AI, that's more predictable performance, metro-level resiliency, and the ability to order an interconnect with AT&T right from the AWS console, extending private connectivity all the way to the AWS edge. AI needs more than compute. It needs flatter networks and faster connections to the cloud. That's what this is about. We're working with a select group of customers to validate the experience and shape what comes next. If the path to your cloud is holding back your AI ambitions, let's connect.

Rishi Katdare liked thisRishi Katdare liked thisWhat are some of the most commonly misdiagnosed IT issues, and what larger system problems could they be hiding? We're excited to highlight insights from OnPage® CEO Judit Sharon in the Forbes Technology Council article, "Common IT Issues That Signal Bigger System Problems." In the discussion, Judit explains how delayed or missed notifications are often dismissed as isolated device issues, when in reality they can point to broader challenges such as integration failures, routing rule misconfigurations, queue backlogs, or mobile operating system restrictions. She is joined by fellow technology leaders in the IT industry sharing practical diagnostic approaches that help IT teams identify underlying issues early, improving system reliability before small problems become major disruptions: Benedetto Biondi of Folks Finance, Hastimal Jangid of Coozmoo Digital.

Rishi Katdare liked thisRishi Katdare liked thisAWS CEO Matt Garman called replacing young employees with AI “one of the dumbest ideas” he’s ever heard, and bad for business long-term. Garman argued that cutting junior roles first to save money is shortsighted, as these are often the lowest-paid positions and young workers bring fresh perspectives and strong familiarity with new AI tools. Key points from Garman: → He warned that removing the entry-level talent pipeline could eventually backfire, saying “at some point that whole thing explodes on itself” → Garman stressed the need to think longer-term about a company’s health and innovation capacity → Amazon is still planning to hire 11,000 interns and recent graduates in 2026, even as it adopts more AI → He believes young employees are actually well-positioned to work with AI rather than be replaced by it His comments push back against the growing narrative in some corners of tech that AI can simply replace junior workers to cut costs. #AWS #Amazon #Layoffs #AI #Interns #CEO
