Enterprise AI Summit & Global AI Awards
Boston | April 30, 2026
A full day designed to help enterprise leaders explore how AI is moving from vision to execution through insight, application, and measurable business impact.
Anand Mahurkar founded Findability Sciences nearly fifteen years ago with a conviction that the real value of AI would come not from standalone models but from industrializing the entire data-to-decision pipeline inside traditional enterprises.
Findability Sciences has been recognized by Fortune as one of America’s Most Innovative Companies in 2023 and 2024, and has deployed enterprise AI across hundreds of organizations in the US, Japan, the Middle East, and India.
Before founding the company, Anand spent over a decade as President of Datamatics Global Services, where he led acquisitions and contributed to an IPO. He has served on the Forbes Technology Council, the Fast Company Executive Board, and the IBM Watson Ecosystem Partner Advisory Board. IBM named him a Big Data Hero.
His thought leadership on agentic AI has appeared in the Times of India and ET CIO, and he has keynoted conferences globally including the Dubai Sugar Conference, the ISO Sugar Seminar in London, and IBM India Cloud Forum.

The sugar industry is already seeing early value from AI across the farm-to-factory continuum. In this breakout, we will step back to examine what it truly takes to build a data and intelligence foundation that enables sustained, system-wide impact - not just isolated use cases.
We will explore how to move from fragmented insights to connected decision-making, and share real examples of the types of visibility, optimization, and foresight that become possible with the right foundation in place. In a complex and dynamic ecosystem, ROI is not only measured in cost savings, but in the ability to respond to change, improve coordination across the value chain, and evolve how teams make decisions.

Every enterprise has run an AI pilot. Very few have crossed the gap to production, P&L impact, and scale. In this session, executives from Straumann, IBM, and RL join Findability Sciences leaders Sagar Mahurkar and Rohit Raut to unpack the real work of closing that gap.
Honest use cases, measurable outcomes, and the architectural and organizational choices that separate experiments from enterprise-grade deployments. You will leave knowing where your own gap sits, and what it takes to cross it.
