AI is changing services industries the world-over, and the largest services, Financial services, is going to see unprecedented impact as AI capabilities and costs continue to evolve. The change will be far reaching – changes in how banks operate, how voice changes payments, how AI agents re-imagine the distribution model of various financial products etc.
Within just two years of LLMs emerging, they’re already deployed in multiple production environments across financial institutions. This is the fastest we have seen a new technology reach and have such high interest and intent in financial services. In this fireside chat we discuss the opportunity, the challenges to adoption and take a look at what an AI-led financial services future looks like.

Explore the rapid evolution of technology, from digital transformation to AI-driven innovation. We will discuss the challenges, implications, and strategies for navigating the AI-driven landscape.
India’s workforce is vast and dynamic, yet millions struggle to access the right job opportunities. AI-powered speech recognition, conversational AI, and intelligent job-matching algorithms are transforming recruitment in India. From understanding candidate preferences to reducing hiring time and costs, AI is revolutionizing how job seekers connect with employers. The talk will explore real-world applications of AI in recruitment, the challenges of scaling AI-driven hiring, and how technology can create employment opportunities for millions across Bharat.
The rapid evolution of AI has transitioned from rule-based automation to sophisticated thinking agents capable of understanding goals, making decisions, and acting autonomously. This journey from task-driven AI to goal-oriented intelligence marks a fundamental shift in how AI integrates into enterprise ecosystems, consumer interactions, and digital infrastructure.
At the heart of this transformation lies Agentic AI, a paradigm where AI agents move beyond executing predefined tasks to proactively achieving complex objectives. This shift is powered by advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs), multi-agent frameworks, and dynamic workflow automation, enabling AI to act as autonomous collaborators rather than mere assistants.
Key milestones in this evolution include:
Task Execution: Early AI systems were designed to complete specific, repetitive tasks with minimal adaptability.
Context Awareness: Modern AI agents now interpret user intent, adapt to different scenarios, and optimize their responses dynamically or in some cases with minimal help from HITL(Human in the loop).
Autonomous Decision-Making: Emerging AI architectures leverage multi-agent coordination, reinforcement learning, and contextual reasoning to achieve high-level business and operational goals without constant human intervention.
With platforms like Kogo AI, which enable No-code/Low-code AI agent deployment, businesses are now able to scale automation at unprecedented speeds. These intelligent agents are being deployed across travel, e-commerce, insurance, and customer experience domains, revolutionizing industries with their ability to self-learn, self-optimize, and integrate seamlessly across channels (e.g., chat, voice, and enterprise systems).
The future of thinking agents lies in multi-modal AI collaboration, autonomous business operations, and AI-powered solopreneurship, where AI swarms work together to manage entire workflows efficiently. As AI moves toward self-governing intelligence, the transition from mere tasks to goal-driven agency will redefine how technology interacts with humans, businesses, and the digital world.
