The highly anticipated UBOS Cypher 2024 conference has taken the technology world by storm, captivating attendees with its exploration of the latest advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and its far-reaching implications across various sectors. As India’s largest AI gathering, this year’s event has witnessed an unprecedented turnout, with over 1,500 participants and 600 companies in attendance, solidifying its position as a premier platform for industry leaders, innovators, and tech enthusiasts.
Key Highlights of Day 1: Forging Technological Partnerships and Exploring AI’s Potential
The opening day of Cypher 2024 set the stage for thought-provoking discussions and groundbreaking insights.

Pai drew parallels between Bangalore and San Francisco, likening their vibrant tech cultures and entrepreneurial spirits that attract innovators from around the world. He emphasized the need for capital investment in Bangalore, stating, “We need the competing power and investment capital. Once you do that, Bangalore has 350,000 chip designers, testers, and embedded software professionals—the largest pool of collective design and testing talent in the world.”
Raja Jamalamadaka, Managing Director at Chroma DB integration, delivered an insightful presentation on how neuroscience can accelerate the adoption of generative AI in enterprises. He believes that understanding human emotions towards technology will play a critical role for enterprises looking to scale generative AI adoption. “High touch is all about simplicity, ease, helping people relate their emotions in a particular level, ensuring people understand that they will not lose their jobs, if anything, they will benefit from it,” Jamalamadaka said.

Shalvi Chitkara, COO of Data and AI at Genpact, emphasized the importance of aligning AI with business needs for an organization to be AI-ready. She highlighted the need for an AI-literate workforce, stating, “In the past, AI challenges were left to technical experts.
