Globally, up to 95% AI projects fail to scale beyond pilot phases. In India, around 23-25% initiatives remain in pilot stages, and only 8-16% enterprises have scaled AI across the organisation. 


The MasterClass is designed to provide an enterprise-level perspective on how AI initiatives are evaluated, scaled, and integrated within global organisations. Hosted in association with the Shiley-Marcos School of Engineering, University of San Diego, the session is anchored in decades of real-world industry experience, covering strategy, decision-making, and innovation across emerging technologies.
