In this interaction with Dataquest, Ganesh Mahadevan V, CIO and CDO, at Bosch Global Software Technologies, outlines how AI, agility, and adaptability define the next phase of enterprise transformation — and why collaboration, not just capability, drives success in the AI-first era.

How has the approach to digital transformation evolved in recent years, especially as enterprises adapt to shifting markets and customer expectations?

Over the past few years, we have seen digital transformation evolve from being a series of disconnected experiments into a holistic, AI First enterprise strategy. We've moved beyond treating technology as a project; it’s now a living capability that continuously adapts to the market and customer needs. At Bosch Global Software Technologies, our goal has been to adopt digital as a cultural mindset, not just a technology upgrade. The focus has shifted from implementing tools to driving value creation – building ecosystems that connect people, processes, and data. Today, digital transformation is about how fast and effectively we can empower teams and accelerate business decisions through intelligent automation and AI-driven insights.
