1700+ people, four days, one focus: putting AI to work in ways that actually matter.   The message from leadership was clear: the future will be shaped by those who frame it. In a world being redefined by AI, the choice is simple: be a disruptor or risk being disrupted. It is a mindset rooted in how we have consistently anticipated emerging technologies and invested early to create long-term impact. That thinking carried through every moment of our latest AI Huddle.   From leadership sessions sharpening our AI strategy to hands-on learning driving engineering and business productivity, the focus stayed on doing. Architects, engineers and business leaders worked across multiple AI stacks, building, testing and learning in real time.   The AI Hackathon brought it all together, turning ideas into tangible solutions through rapid prototyping and real-world experimentation.   Collaboration with partners proved to be a true force multiplier. Working closely with organizations like OpenAI, who enabled our teams with Codex during the hackathon, helped accelerate progress and push boundaries further.   AI is no longer a question of “if.” It is about how quickly and how boldly we act.   #ReAImaginingTheWorld Anand Deshpande, Sandeep Kalra, Vinit Teredesai, Anand Krishnan, Barath Narayanan, Chitra Byregowda, Debashis Singh, Dr. Rajesh Gharpure, Ganesh Nathella, Hari Abhyankar, Jaideep Vijay Dhok, Kuljesh Puri, Mukesh Agarwal, Nitha Puthran, Nitish Shrivastava, Padmanabhan V, Rahul Shrivastava, Rajiv Naithani, Ruchi Kulhari, Sameer Dixit, Shimona Chadha, Saurabh Dwivedi, Tom Klein
