Amit Chadha, CEO of L&T Technology Services, emphasizes that modern CIOs should blend an engineering mindset—focusing on durability, redundancy, and scalability—with the fast-moving world of software and automation. He notes that AI and automation enable both speed and longevity in IT systems, and CIOs must also consider the physical infrastructure on which their software relies. As technology becomes more autonomous, workforce training and integrated, connected systems are needed. Chadha warns against over-reliance on abstractions, urging CIOs to ground decisions in physical realities and design for potential failures.
