Co-Founder & Director, Quadrasystems.net (India) Pvt. Ltd.
Quadra is prepared for 2026, built on a 25-year foundation in enterprise architecture, holding AWS Premier Partner status, and 20 consecutive years of Microsoft global recognition. Our dedicated Centers of Excellence focus on Applied AI and Generative AI frameworks to drive enterprise deployments. The primary challenge remains the skills gap, with India needing nearly one million AI professionals by 2026. Enterprises also face complex legacy estates, alongside growing requirements for DPDPA compliance and security resilience as AI adoption expands.
Emerging risks such as deepfakes, cyber fraud, and data privacy are addressed through a unified security fabric that replaces fragmented tools with cohesive defense platforms. Using the BluForge platform, Quadra integrates technologies from leading security vendors and open-source frameworks for real-time anomaly detection and incident response. For privacy, DPDPA-driven compliance is ensured through workshops, data discovery, and impact assessments, embedding security and privacy controls into cloud architecture from the start.
Hybrid architecture is the default approach for 2026. Cloud-native platforms provide scalability, while data gravity and sovereignty require critical workloads to remain close to the source. The roadmap focuses on AI Factories, where a thin control plane manages global policies and a thick data plane supports high-volume local processing. This ensures high-performance inference, reduced latency, and avoids vendor lock-in, while aligning with IndiaAI’s pillars of Application Development and FutureSkills, supporting India’s transition from AI consumer to global AI leader.
