Saptha INTERVIEW_v3_169_2


I'm here with SAPTA, head of Europe at TCS.


Lovely to have you, nice to meet you.

Well, first of all, I want to find out some of your highlights from the World Economic Forum.

So far.

Everybody's talking about AI, Geo economics, geopolitics.

It's all about tech.

The big question then, how can Europe secure competitiveness by investing in digital infrastructure and responsible AI?

Europe has got inherent advantages in terms of its deep industrial knowledge, also strong research ecosystems, picking up big problems to solve and also working closer on missions, which are very specific and ambitious goals.
You have to execute and you have to do it fast.

Everyone keeps saying that, Davos, it's all about the speed, isn't it?

Yeah.

Are you excited for the year ahead?

Like the group chairman says, it's a civilizational shift and people like us who are in leadership positions have a huge responsibility.

Finally, is there been anything surprising that you've seen here at Davos that you weren't expecting?

I'm actually very surprised by the synergy that I see among all companies and the conversations they're having.

The threads are extremely common.

That gives hope that people are recognising the similar problems and challenges and the road maps that we need to have.

There we go.


2026, it's going to be a Goodyear.


It's going to be a great year.

Thank you so much.


Thank you.
