VINOD KHODE, Senior VP & Group CIO, Varroc Engineering, demonstrated how Al coding reduced weeks of work to days, proving that IT can be both faster and more trusted by the business.

In an era where enterprise IT often struggles under mounting technical debt, scarce budgets, and relentless internal demands, Varroc’s Senior VP & Group CIO, Vinod Khode, is charting a different course. Speaking candidly at a recent keynote, Khode didn’t offer theory or grand forecasts; he shared lived experience: how his lean team used Al-driven coding tools to deliver applications in days instead of weeks, win credibility with business leaders, and prove that the future of IT agility is already here.

The Everyday Challenge of IT Debt

Khode began by highlighting a scenario familiar to CIOs everywhere: endless demands for bespoke applications, limited talent, tighter budgets, and frustrated business partners. “This is the reality we all live in,” he remarked. Large systems, such as SAP or PLM, may anchor core operations, but the real pain often lies in smaller, high-priority applications that require rapid delivery but consume disproportionate effort.
