AI doesn’t fail in pilots. It fails in production. At #ZinnovConfluence 2025, the Clean Data, Fuzzy Ownership panel featuring Raj Sundaresan, CEO, Altimetrik, and Ramkumar Narayanan, EVP, Head of FIS India and Philippines Technology and Services Organization, FIS — in a riveting fireside chat with Vamsee Tirukkala, Co-Founder, Zinnov & Draup, tackled one of the most under-discussed blockers to enterprise AI: the disconnect between where data lives, who owns it, and how it’s governed. This was a conversation about what happens when business, tech, and compliance aren’t in the same room, and why centralized, one-size-fits-all data strategies keep falling short. The panelists brought stories from the field: messy data lakes, fragmented SME knowledge, overambitious platforms, and the long tail of decisions made without a business outcome in mind. Key takeaways from the chat:  • AI success hinges on data availability, governance, and ownership from day one.  • Enterprises must shift from a "build the lake first" mindset to an outcome-first, incremental data strategy that delivers value and scales long-term.  • GCCs need to move beyond delivery roles and leverage their deep domain expertise to become strategic AI partners, not just support hubs.  • True production-grade AI requires early collaboration across business, tech, compliance, and governance teams - not an afterthought.  • Companies adopting domain-specific AI models see better governance, cost efficiency, and contextual accuracy compared to monolithic LLMs. Watch this space for more insights and takeaways from #ZinnovConfluence 2025. #LimitlessLeadership #DefineTomorrow
