Enterprises are rapidly advancing toward intelligent automation, with agentic orchestration and next-generation AI fundamentally reshaping business operations. This transformation is propelled by the urgent need for agility, regulatory compliance, and quantifiable business value. As organizations deploy scalable automation frameworks and sovereign AI architectures, they are setting a new standard for operational excellence. The accelerating momentum signals a new era where advanced orchestration, data-driven strategies, and disciplined governance are not just enablers, but essential drivers of sustainable growth, resilience, and innovation.

SVP, Software Engineering at UiPath

Enterprise automation has reached an inflection point. Organisations that started with task-level bots are discovering that isolated automations create new silos instead of eliminating old ones. In this keynote, UiPath SVP Software Engineering, Gautam Goenka, lays out the case for intelligent orchestration, a model where AI agents, people, and software robots work together within governed, adaptive workflows to deliver measurable business performance. He will share how the UiPath platform is evolving from an automation engine to an agentic orchestration layer that sits across enterprise systems, and what this shift means for CIOs building their AI strategy for 2026 and beyond.

What happens when enterprises move beyond automating individual tasks and start orchestrating entire business processes with AI agents, people, and robots working together? In this panel, leaders from three of India's most advanced automation practitioners share how they went from hundreds of bots handling repetitive work to agentic orchestration that drives end-to-end business outcomes. They discuss what broke when automation was "in pieces," how they made the shift to business-level orchestration, and what changed in their operations, margins, and competitive positioning as a result. Whether you operate in healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, or technology, the playbook is the same and the lessons are immediately applicable.
