From Data Lakes to Intelligent Enterprises: Architecting AI-Driven Big Data Ecosystems at Global Scale

Abstract:

Enterprises today are under pressure to not only capture massive volumes of data but to transform it into actionable insights at unprecedented speed. In this keynote, Samanth Gurram shares his experience designing and deploying globally distributed, AI-enabled data architectures across Fortune 500 organizations. He will detail the evolution from static data lakes to dynamic, intelligence-driven ecosystems powered by platforms like AWS, GCP, Snowflake, and Databricks. Through case studies from Nike, BNY Mellon, and Google, he will reveal how to achieve 95% cost savings, 60x performance boosts, and global compliance in high-volume environments. Attendees will gain a practical blueprint for integrating machine learning into ingestion pipelines, enabling real-time analytics, and scaling AI models across hybrid cloud infrastructure to power decision-making at enterprise scale.
