Naman Vyas

Naman Vyas

I'm a Software Engineer on the Agents Team at Middleware Labs, where I build the instrumentation infrastructure. I wrote mw-injector, a Go library that solves OpenTelemetry's service identity problem by scanning /proc across thousands of processes and auto-instrumenting them through systemd drop-ins and eBPF, no manual config required. I've also shipped seven-plus production OTel integrations, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, Nginx, and RabbitMQ.

Outside of work I ride motorcycles on roads that actively want to kill me. Most recently a 3,700km run across the Killar-Kishtwar road on a 14-year-old Yamaha. People keep telling me that was a bad idea. I maintain it wasn't.

Tushar Pal

Tushar Pal

I’m a Senior IT Internal Auditor at American Express Global Business Travel, specializing in cybersecurity governance, risk management, and compliance frameworks including ISO 27001, SOX, and PCI DSS. As a cybersecurity professional who began with hands-on skills in penetration testing, exploit development, and digital forensics before choosing a career in governance, risk, and compliance, I bring a hacker’s mindset into the world of audits.

I’m also the author of a top-ranked digital forensics blog on the Autopsy tool, with over 75,000 views and the #1 spot on Google. Today, I lead the integration of Generative AI into internal audit processes, architecting a multi-phase roadmap that transforms legacy governance systems into dynamic, AI-powered frameworks. Alongside strategy, I actively design techniques for generating highly targeted GenAI prompts, enabling audit teams to extract precise, actionable intelligence while reducing noise and false positives.

By combining hacker-style curiosity with AI-driven execution, I offer a unique perspective on the future of IT audits. My talks challenge the perception of audits as checklist exercises and present a vision for Offensive Audits, where we leverage AI to redefine assurance as resilience-building rather than compliance alone.

Akshay Nara

Akshay Nara

Akshay Nara is a Senior Manager in Agentic AI at EXL, where he leads engineering teams and advises Fortune 500 clients on building, scaling, and governing enterprise AI systems. With over 9 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 systems leveraging platforms including Google CX Agent Studio, Dialogflow CX, Amelia v4–v7, Sierra AI, Omilia, and Google Cloud Vertex AI — consistently driving operational efficiency, cost reduction, and improved customer experience at scale.
In recent years, Akshay has deepened his focus on the emerging 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. His work gives him a practitioner’s perspective on what actually works in production, beyond the hype.

Speaking: Akshay 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 — drawing on his experience shipping 30+ production voice agents in regulated industries.

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