As the founder of multiple influential platforms, including Analytics Insight, IndustryWired, and Big Data Council, Sukhadeve has spent the last decade creating data-driven media brands that serve as compasses for enterprises navigating the disruptive world of artificial intelligence (AI), data science, and emerging technologies. From the early days of his career in data consulting to helming one of the world's first AI-focused publications (Analytics Insight), his journey reflects a rare blend of research rigour, entrepreneurial foresight, and journalistic passion.

“I was passionate about journalism and writing from the beginning,” Sukhadeve says, tracing the origins of his media journey. “Working with research-led organisations gave me the ability to analyse and present results in a comprehensive manner. But I always felt that traditional research reports included data with no insights or recommendations.”

This realisation became the spark for Analytics Insight, founded in 2017. At the time, very few tech publications focused deeply on AI and data science. Those that did often lacked analytical depth or failed to connect trends with business strategy. “We built a platform that not only offered what was trending in emerging technologies but also delivered reports that helped organisations make strategic business decisions,” he explains.

A DATA-DRIVEN PHILOSOPHY

Sukhadeve’s work is united by a singular mission: to bridge the gap between disruptive technology and business intelligence. Whether through Analytics Insight, IndustryWired, or the more recent Big Data Council, his platforms strive to build communities around data and insight-led innovation. “Data is now the new currency,” he says.
