Overview
As the role of the Chief Financial Officer evolves from financial governance to enterprise strategy and leadership, CFOs have firmly established themselves as co-pilots to the CEO and are increasingly, their obvious successors. Most of this transition is being accelerated by the imperative of Artificial Intelligence. Boards are looking to finance leaders not only to govern and measure the ROI of enterprise AI investments, but to actively harness predictive and generative AI to drive operational efficiency, risk management, and capital allocation.
Building on the growing trajectory of CFOs ascending to the corner office, this roundtable explores how modern finance leaders have leveraged AI as a strategic lever to redefine value creation and meet expanding board expectations across India Inc. And how they plan to continue deploying to ensure a growth and scalable path for their organizations.
