India's Enterprise Data Sits Unused, Executives Admit
Inside Indian boardrooms, leaders talk a lot about artificial intelligence (AI), technology upgrades and cutting costs, according to PCQuest. Chief data officers discuss AI, chief technology officers discuss modernization, and chief financial officers discuss spend optimization. Yet one thing goes largely unmentioned: whether the huge piles of enterprise data companies already hold are actually being put to use. The report suggests this gap matters because AI systems are only as useful as the data feeding them. If most of that data sits idle, companies could be investing heavily in AI tools without getting the real business value they expect. It's a reminder that smart technology needs smart data habits behind it.
