At the DevSparks Hyderabad 2026 conference, enterprise leaders highlighted a structural transition from experimental AI pilots to production-ready intelligent agent architectures. Speakers Kiran Rokkam from Tiger Analytics and Naren Peri from MetLife emphasized that frontier model selection is no longer the sole priority for businesses. Instead, enterprises are establishing dedicated transformation units to integrate autonomous AI agents directly into operational workflows. However, panelists noted that data infrastructure and quality remain the central bottlenecks preventing organizations from successfully scaling autonomous decision intelligence and realizing measurable business returns from AI investments.
