Akshay Nara is a Senior Manager AI Solutions at EXL, where he leads engineering teams and advises Fortune 500 clients on building, scaling, and governing enterprise AI systems. With close to 10 years at the frontier of Conversational AI, GenAI, and Agentic AI, Akshay brings rare depth, from hands-on platform architecture to C-suite advisory, making him one of the few practitioners who can credibly bridge the gap between technical implementation and enterprise strategy.

His client portfolio spans some of the most demanding industries in the world: healthcare (CVS Health, McKesson, CoverMyMeds), financial services (Experian), and industrial manufacturing (Stanley Black & Decker, Cinch). Across these engagements, Akshay has designed and deployed production-grade Conversational AI and Agentic AI solutions on platforms including Google CX Agent Studio, Dialogflow CX, Amelia v4–v7, Sierra AI, Omilia AI, and Google Cloud Vertex AI, consistently driving operational efficiency, cost reduction, and better customer experience at scale.

In recent years, Akshay has deepened his focus on the agentic AI paradigm, including multi-agent orchestration, RAG-based knowledge systems, LLM integration, and responsible AI governance, areas where enterprise demand is rapidly outpacing available talent and proven frameworks. Having shipped 30+ production voice agents in regulated industries, he brings a practitioner’s view of what actually works in production, beyond the hype.

Akshay is an active speaker in India’s AI and Google developer communities. He spoke on “The Illusion of Agentic AI” at Google I/O Extended New Delhi (Aug 2026), sharing field lessons on what separates real autonomous agents from workflow automation dressed up as agents. At DevFest New Delhi 2026 Builder Day, hosted at Google’s Gurugram office, he led the hands-on workshop “Vibe Code a Voice Agent That Actually Talks Back: Gemini Live in AI Studio.” At AI Frontier by KNOTiC (Oct 2026), he presented “Your Agent Passed the Demo. Will It Survive Production?”, a session on evaluating and red-teaming agentic AI. He also runs free workshops on AI/ML, LLMs, and RAG for engineering students, including at MAIT Delhi’s AIvolutions Society, and recently addressed a large engineering audience on why AI-savvy engineers, not AI itself, will define the future of the profession.

Akshay holds certifications as an NVIDIA Certified Associate in Generative AI & LLMs and in Amelia 7.0 Agentic AI, along with two Google GenAI certifications.

Emma’s story is anchored in two worlds that rarely meet: elite sport and enterprise transformation. While building a professional football career, she developed deep, practical expertise in large-scale programmes for FTSE and global brands. Her grounding across AI, ERP, CRM and HCM ecosystems positions her as a trusted partner to Microsoft, Dayforce and organisations that want to navigate transformation with discipline, risk awareness and genuine quality control.

She is known for a direct, engaging style that cuts through jargon and gets to the truth of how programmes succeed or fail. Her talks blend sharp insight with authenticity, humour and sports logic, giving both technical and functional audiences something they can use the moment they leave the room.

What happens when your most committed people quietly burn out behind a mask of performance? Serban Mare has lived the answer, and now helps organizations catch it early and reverse it.
Serban is an Engineering Program Manager with 20+ years in the semiconductor and technology industry, still leading complex, high-pressure programs today while keynoting national conferences including PMI Global Summit and SHRM events. He burned out the quiet way: achieving everything on paper while running on empty. Then he rebuilt his energy, focus, and performance without leaving the pressure behind. That makes him a working proof of concept, not a recovered cautionary tale.
His sessions are direct, interactive, and science-backed, built for people who think in systems. Audiences leave with the three warning signs of burnout, a practical counter for each one, and tools they put to work the same week.

I build production AI agents and intelligent document processing for operational enterprises — banking, payments, government, and finance — from Cluj-Napoca and Timișoara.

Wittenberger Industries ships agentic automation where judgment and unstructured input matter, and RPA where the steps are fixed. Recent work includes hyperscale IDP on Kubernetes (5,000 docs/hour, ~14× faster than a robot fleet), agentic voucher validation (~71% faster, 72h → 18h cycles), a Teams-native ERP assistant (Mia), and an Outlook-embedded sales agent grounded in internal precedent.

Previously at UiPath I led technology services teams on Document Understanding and Human-in-the-Loop. I still speak and build at the intersection of UiPath, Python, agents, and cloud scale.

I was born in 1977 in Turin, Italy, into a working-class family with roots in Puglia.
I taught myself to read and do multi-digit arithmetic before starting school, and ended up skipping first grade. Writing has always been my weak spot, along with set theory and coloring inside the lines. I'm still working on the handwriting; I eventually made peace with set theory through relational databases.
I studied engineering but never finished my degree: I'll always have 11 exams and an English credit to my name. Close enough for the nameplate.
I started my career in 1999 as a software developer, and have spent most of it writing backend code in C, C++, C# and SQL. Over the years I've worked across some very different domains: I spent a decade at a software company, then moved to Banca Sella's Trading Online division in Biella, then landed at Deltatre, a dream job building software for major sporting events including the UEFA European Championship, the FIFA World Cup, and the Olympics. In 2013 I built a Twitter social poll to vote for Man of the Match during the World Cup; the software worked flawlessly, even if the marketing didn't quite match.
In 2018 I took on a new challenge: building a web-based ERP platform from scratch. I named it Fattutto, and it's what I still work on today, with a small and very capable remote team. The pandemic didn't change much for us: we were already working from home.
Alongside development, I've been involved in tech community and communication for years. I collaborate with Codemotion, help run the Torino .NET Users Group, and co-host the "Bonanni a tutti", a yearly show/conference about and around computer science, located in Turin, after Christmas holidays.
Outside of tech: I'm a football coach (since 2008), I play keyboard, and I write about Juventus on Facebook. Since July 2022 I've been living with two coronary stents, which makes me feel like a lucky guy. As I like to say: out of ten things I've attempted, half of them worked out. I spend my life looking for the other half.

Krešimir Končić is a Croatian engineer, technology writer, and the founder and CEO of Neuralab. Since 2007, he has been building digital products and leading teams developing complex web and eCommerce applications for clients across Europe and the United States. Neuralab’s work has included projects for HBO, P&G and UNICEF.

His academic background spans mechanical engineering and artificial intelligence at the University of Zagreb, followed by a BSc (Honours) in industrial engineering at the UK’s Open University. He also trained in software development at Algebra and participated in engineering projects across Europe, including robotics in Switzerland and aircraft-design workshops in the UK. In 2006, he received the University of Zagreb’s Rector’s Award as part of a team developing an unmanned aerial vehicle.

Krešimir’s work with artificial neural networks began in 2006–2007, when he helped build a financial forecasting model that gave Neuralab its name. His programming experience stretches from QBASIC and ActionScript to C#, JavaScript, SQL and Swift. Running a company has given him plenty of opportunities to discover what those languages cannot settle.

A Netokracija columnist since 2015, Krešimir's writing combines an engineer’s curiosity with a working familiarity with budgets and the awkward distance between a convincing demo and something people can actually use. His book, Coding Is the Easier Part: Makers, Machines, and the Mess in Between, draws on that experience to explore how software gets made and what that tells us about its future.

He lives in Zagreb with his wife and son, who regularly receive detailed answers to tech questions they never asked.
