Employees are ready for AI, but their workplaces aren’t keeping up. Our new study, “New Frontier, New Frictions: Mapping the DNA of AI Adoption,” uncovers what we’re calling the Activation Gap – the distance between how much people want to use AI and how much their jobs actually let them. Here’s where that gap shows up in the data: ✅ Four in five employees want to use AI more than their role currently allows ✅ Mindset predicts AI behavior about six times better than job level does ✅ Up to 82% say their current AI tools don’t fit their needs ✅ Even employees with strong training turn to unsanctioned tools when approved ones fall short Together, these finding suggest the real barrier isn’t willingness but context, since tools built around a team’s workflows and rules deliver where generic ones stall. Getting it right matters, too. A 5% lift in global labor productivity could add roughly $6 trillion to world GDP. Read more: https://cgnz.at/6045aUqUz

At the GCC Apex Summit 2026, in association with Times Techies, Sailaja Josyula, Global Head & SVP, GCC Service Line, Cognizant, joined industry leaders Sirisha Voruganti, Managing Director & CEO, Lloyds Technology Center, Rajesh Mani and Naveen Gullapalli, Managing Director, Amgen India, to discuss bridging the gap between isolated AI experimentation and scaled enterprise value. The panel, moderated by Sujit John, The Times of India, highlighted that scaling AI across Banking and Biopharma is an operational and cultural challenge, not just a technical one. Success requires balancing automation with human judgment and tracking outcomes like decision quality, risk reduction and customer trust over cost savings alone. As Sailaja noted, moving from execution to full outcome ownership demands modern operating models, robust governance and continuous AI fluency across the workforce. Together, GCCs are defining the blueprint for the AI-first, resilient enterprise of tomorrow. #CognizantGCCSummit

As AI becomes part of how enterprises operate, the conversation is no longer limited to models, tools or adoption. It's increasingly about trust. At GCC Apex Summit 2026, Vishal Salvi , SVP, Global Head of Cyber-Security Service Line, Cognizant, explored how AI is changing the operating model of cybersecurity, from machine-speed threats and autonomous systems to new questions around governance, accountability and control. Sridhar Sidhu , CVP-Cybersecurity, AT&T, then brought an enterprise perspective to the discussion, sharing what it takes to adopt AI within a large-scale cybersecurity environment. One theme ran through both conversations: AI adoption is scaling faster than the security operating model. The organizations that succeed will be the ones that build trust, governance and resilience into the foundation. #CognizantGCCSummit

Not long ago, getting access to a frontier AI model gave a company a head start. Now nearly everyone has one, and the question is what you do with it. That was the starting point when Rajesh V., President – Global Operations and Chairman & Managing Director, Cognizant India, sat down with Prabhjeet Singh, Managing Director, OpenAI India, at GCC Apex Summit 2026. They talked about what separates the companies getting real results from AI from the ones still running pilots, how AI is changing the way engineering teams and workforces are built, and what it would take for GCCs to go from using AI to building it for the world. On what it takes to get there, Prabhjeet said: "Growth happens when people feel safe enough to take risks, supported enough to learn from failure, and empowered enough to try again." Everyone has access to the same technology now. What counts is what you build around it, and who you build it with. #CognizantGCCSummit

Organizations are investing heavily in AI. The harder question is whether their workforce can absorb and apply it at scale. At GCC Apex Summit 2026, today's conversations focused on what happens after adoption. How do organizations continuously evolve talent as work changes? How do they make expertise easier to access, combine and apply? And how do they build systems that help AI create better outcomes rather than more complexity? Sessions from Thirumala Arohi and Arumugam Kumaradassan explored what it takes to build both: a workforce that evolves continuously and an AI ecosystem that can scale knowledge, governance and value across the enterprise. #CognizantGCCSummit #FutureOfWork #EnterpriseAI

At GCC Apex Summit 2026, leaders from banking, healthcare, life sciences and the broader GCC ecosystem discussed what it takes to move from AI experimentation to enterprise-wide value creation. Joining the conversation were Sailaja Josyula, Murali Krishna, Ganpat Anchaliya, Vikas J. and Sangeeta Gupta, moderated by Sujit John. The discussion focused on a challenge many organizations are working through today: How do you move from promising AI use cases to capabilities that scale across teams, workflows and the broader enterprise? The panel explored operating models, decision rights, culture, talent and accountability, and what it takes for GCCs to earn a stronger voice in shaping enterprise outcomes. #CognizantGCCSummit #GCC #EnterpriseAI #EnterpriseTransformation

“Enterprise AI scales not through a single powerful agent, but through an orchestrated network of interconnected agents working as one.” At GCC Apex Summit 2026, Babak Hodjat, Chief AI Officer at Cognizant, explored what it takes to build enterprise intelligence that is adaptable, trusted and scalable. The discussion examined how agentic systems can help organizations revisit some of the constraints that have traditionally limited GCC growth, including process complexity, knowledge transfer and consistency at scale. The implication for GCCs is significant: the ability to orchestrate intelligence across systems, teams and workflows may become just as important as the intelligence itself. #CognizantGCCSummit #GCC #EnterpriseAI

We’re live at GCC Apex Summit 2026. Opening the summit, Sailaja Josyula, SVP, Global Head – GCC Service Line, Cognizant, reflected on how every major technology inflection has reshaped what enterprises expect from their technology organizations. Cognizant has experienced several of those shifts firsthand, from its origins as a captive unit through Y2K, cloud and digital transformation. Today, GCCs are entering another chapter of evolution. For years, GCCs helped enterprises build scale, capability and platforms. As Sailaja Josyula put it: “GCCs sit at the intersection of work redesign, capability reinvention, and enterprise transformation. It is here that we build the intelligence that will power the future.” The discussion focused on the expanding role of GCCs as enterprises look beyond technology adoption and toward measurable business outcomes, stronger ownership and lasting enterprise impact. Follow along throughout the day as we share insights from GCC Apex Summit 2026. #CognizantGCCSummit #GCC #EnterpriseAI
