DAC on stage

Kuhan Puvanesasingham, Director, Business Intelligence, DAC

AI often looks effortless in demos, but deployment tells a different story. In this session, Kuhan explores why AI success isn’t just about powerful models, but about clarity in data definitions and structure.

He’ll unpack how enterprise complexity, multiple systems, inconsistent metrics, and conflicting definitions, creates the real barrier to AI scale. Attendees will gain a practical perspective on aligning data meaning across teams to build a foundation that supports sustainable, enterprise-ready AI.
