When Technology Learns to Understand Us – Through Nanda’s Eyes
One of the most fascinating things about AI is how technology is evolving from systems we learn to use into systems that increasingly learn to understand us.
I saw a simple example of this through my son, Pranav. When he was younger, he wanted to interact with Alexa, and his sisters often became the translators between them. Today, he speaks effortlessly with AI assistants, asks questions, gives instructions, and expects them to understand context. Technology has evolved alongside him.
For me, this reflects the larger transformation happening in business. Organisations have enormous amounts of information, and the real opportunity lies in using AI to understand that information, make better decisions, automate processes, and act at the right time.
The question is “How can we use AI to create meaningful business value?” As we move towards AI-powered and agentic experiences, organisations that learn to work with AI can create the next generation of competitive advantage.
We just need to take the next intelligent step.
– Nanda Kumar

The Shift Series
The Art of Seeing Around the Corner
Strategy is the discipline of choosing what matters most — and having the courage to say no to what doesn’t.
The hardest strategic decisions are rarely between good and bad options.
They are between good and better.
That is where trade-offs matter.
What will create the greatest impact?
What should we prioritise now?
What can wait?
What should we stop doing altogether?
Seeing around the corner helps us identify where the world is heading.
Strategic thinking helps us decide where we should go.
Every growing company has opportunities.
New markets.
New customers.
New ideas.
New possibilities.
The temptation is to pursue them all. But focus requires a different kind of courage.
And sometimes, the most important decision we make is not about the opportunity we pursue. It is about the opportunity we consciously choose to leave behind.
And perhaps that is the opportunity in front of Kovaion today — to build on what has brought us here while making deliberate choices about what will take us forward.
Think. Pause. Transform.
The Shift continues…

The insights gathered are helping shape Kovaion’s approach to building an AI-native CRM designed around real business challenges, enabling organisations to make smarter decisions, improve productivity, and create greater value from every customer interaction.

Kovai MarathON 2026 Brings the Running Community Together for a Meaningful Cause
Kovai MarathON 2026 – the 7th edition brought together more than 3,000 participants in Coimbatore for a celebration of running, community, and purpose. Runners of all ages, from seasoned marathoners and first-time participants to children, families, and students, came together across the 5 KM, 10 KM, and 21.1 KM categories.
Centred around the theme “Every Mile Educates,” the marathon went beyond the finish line to support educational opportunities for promising young students through Kovaion Kalvi.
