Mohit Sagar shared thisIf the room is sharing voluntarily-we are definitely on the right topic. Thank you all for your inputs.Mohit Sagar shared thisAt a recent OpenGov Breakfast Insight, senior leaders from Singapore’s public sector and enterprises convened to explore a pivotal shift in AI: moving from reactive monitoring to gaining full visibility into autonomous AI behaviour and understanding how intelligent systems make decisions in real time. The discussion highlighted that observability, unified data, AI-powered insights, and agentic automation are now essential for managing complex digital environments. It became clear that technology alone is not enough, success depends on combining tools with governance, trust, and strategic approaches. Moderated by Mohit Sagar (CEO & Editor-in-Chief, OpenGov Asia), the session featured Shabbir Baliwala (Solutions Director, APAC, Dynatrace) and Eng Kiong (EK) Koh (Regional Vice President for ASEAN and Korea, Dynatrace), who shared practical insights on evolving observability, managing system complexity, and building trust in AI-driven operations. The key takeaway was clear: AI observability is no longer just about collecting metrics and logs—it’s about understanding system behaviour, orchestrating interactions, and ensuring reliability and accountability across teams, tools, and processes.

Mohit Sagar shared thisThis conversation was at a different level. Thank you for your opening and engaging responses, Aju Murjani, Rahul Savdekar, Jordy Mevissen, and Kiran Kumar NR. Can't wait for the sequel. OpenGov Asia, Ellen Quek, Vivek Dharmaraj, Thin Yadi (Helen), Bede Uwalaka, Yiyin Chan, Nana Adistya S. Yunita RizkiaMohit Sagar shared thisAt a recent OpenGov Breakfast Insight, leaders across Singapore explored a critical shift taking place: moving from cloud adoption to cloud effectiveness. The conversation focused on how visibility, observability, AI and agentic automation are becoming essential to turning cloud investments into measurable value. What stood out clearly was that technology alone is not enough. Real outcomes emerge when strong use cases, trusted governance and strategic partnerships come together, enabling organisations to make informed decisions, scale with confidence and remain resilient in an increasingly complex AI-driven environment. Moderated by Mohit Sagar (CEO & Editor-in-Chief, OpenGov Asia), the session featured speakers Aju Murjani (Automation Leader, IBM ASEAN), Rahul Savdekar (Global Business Development, IBM APAC), Kiran Kumar NR (Chief Technology Officer, ASEAN & Korea, Microsoft), and Jordy Mevissen (Worldwide Sales Leader, IBM APAC), who shared practical insights on operationalising AI and automation with visibility and governance at scale. The takeaway was clear: cloud success is no longer about what you deploy, but about how well you can see, orchestrate and govern what is running across systems, teams and journeys.

Mohit Sagar shared thisIt’s all about DATA - the BLOOD 🩸 of all organisations.Mohit Sagar shared thisA week has passed since we hosted the customer event with Pure Storage and OpenGov Asia titled "The Future is Unified: Powering AI with Secure and Scalable Data Systems," and the key messages continue to resonate. Key takeaways include: 1. Organisations must prioritise data first, not just infrastructure. 2. Start small, learn fast, and scale with confidence. 3. Embed governance and security at every stage. Thank you to the speakers for delivering a strong message on data-driven AI adoption to the attendees. Many agreed that a solid foundation enables agencies to focus on actionable insights, smarter decision-making, and ultimately achieving measurable outcomes from AI adoption.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗘𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗜 Dans ce nouveau rapport Digital New Deal Foundation, le Singapourien Damien Kopp analyse 25 stratégies nationales d’IA et dresse un constat sans appel : la quête d’autonomie se construit aujourd’hui sur des technologies d’emprunt. Nous sommes entrés dans l’ère du « 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗼𝘅𝗲 𝗱𝗲 𝗹𝗮 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘁é ». Plus les États et les entreprises investissent pour bâtir leur propre IA, plus ils renforcent leur dépendance structurelle à quelques goulets d’étranglement critiques (GPU, cloud, énergie, modèles de fondation.) 💡 Message clé du rapport : « 𝘓’𝘐𝘈 𝘯’𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘱𝘭𝘶𝘴 𝘶𝘯𝘦 𝘴𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘩𝘯𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘪𝘦, 𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘦 𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘥𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘶𝘦 𝘶𝘯𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘢î𝘯𝘦 𝘥’𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘨é𝘰𝘱𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘲𝘶𝘦 ». L’analyse comparative de 25 pays identifie quatre grands archétypes, compare les niveaux de dépendance pays par pays, et propose un changement de grille de lecture ➡️ 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗲 𝗹𝗮 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘁é 𝗿é𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲 à 𝗹𝗮 𝗿é𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁é𝗺𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲. Pour les dirigeants, l’enjeu est clair : l’IA doit désormais être gouvernée comme un risque de continuité d’activité, au même titre que l’énergie ou les chaînes logistiques. 📥 Rapport complet (98 pages) disponible sur notre site (lien en 1er commentaire :la version française sera disponible le 26 janvier) 𝗘𝗫𝗘𝗖𝗨𝗧𝗜𝗩𝗘 𝗦𝗨𝗠𝗠𝗔𝗥𝗬 : résumé en 4 pages ici 👇

Mohit Sagar shared thisIt was a honour to moderate a Dell Technologies session with Mei May Soo, Elsie Chong and Ayush Batra. Fair to say, we are in a AI race and not a bubble. This is not going to pop, as yapped on by media, but only going to climb. There are billions invested in software, hardware, and people. Some great insights were shard. Agentic AI is not a replacement to your workforce immediately, it’s an added team member that will work when you sleep. The question is, do you trust yourself? OpenGov Asia Ellen Quek Vivek Dharmaraj Zalfa Imani Trijatna Thin Yadi (Helen) Bede UwalakaMohit Sagar shared thisMohit Sagar, CEO & Editor-in-Chief of OpenGov Asia, took the helm at The Executive Roundtable by Dell Technologies, held in partnership with Microsoft and Intel Corporation on 26 November – driving a dynamic and insight-rich conversation on elevating organisational AI readiness. Bringing their deep expertise to the dialogue were Mei May Soo of Dell Technologies, Elsie Chong of Microsoft and Ayush Batra of Intel Corporation, each offering sharper, real-world perspectives on AI’s accelerating impact across the enterprise. Together, they unpacked how organisations can fortify digital foundations, scale AI adoption and empower a workforce ready to thrive in the rapidly evolving future of work. A standout collaboration delivering clarity, direction and real momentum for AI-driven transformation! Ellen Quek, Vivek Dharmaraj, Zalfa Imani Trijatna, Yunita Rizkia

As AI becomes core to enterprise operations, organisations must answer critical questions — how to control costs, ensure performance and maintain governance at scale. This session brings together senior leaders to explore: • When to consume AI as a service vs build internally • How to optimise GPU and infrastructure usage • How to design AI strategies for efficiency and scale Don’t miss this opportunity to gain practical insights and exchange perspectives with your peers.

Mohit Sagar liked thisMohit Sagar liked thisA small musical thank-you to the friends and colleagues I met during my Tokyo trip to be a panellist for the 9th International Fiscal Association APAC Regional Conference earlier this week. This is my fingerstyle guitar arrangement of 上を向いて歩こう / Ue o Muite Arukō, known internationally as Sukiyaki. The title means, roughly, “I look up as I walk” — a beautiful reminder to keep moving forward with quiet hope, even through moments of sadness. Grateful for the warm conversations, new friendships and international exchange in Tokyo, Japan. Music, like tax, has a way of crossing borders. I chose to record this piece on my 33-year old Asturias model A8 classical guitar, which I bought from the Yamaha music store in Singapore in 1993.

Mohit Sagar liked thisMohit Sagar liked thisOne week to go — and the conversations are only getting more relevant. Across the public sector, banking, healthcare, education, and GLCs, organisations are navigating the same challenge — how to move from ambition to real impact. At the 11th Annual Singapore OpenGov CXO Leadership Forum 2026, we’re bringing these perspectives together in one room. From AI governance and trusted data to cyber resilience and real-time intelligence — expect practical insights you can actually take back and apply. Not theory. Not hype. Just real experiences from leaders on the ground. See you in a week!

Mohit Sagar liked thisMohit Sagar liked thisMost APAC leaders don’t fail because they can’t sell. They fail because HQ loses patience before the region has time to work. I’ve seen this happen too many times. A strong leader lays the right foundations. Builds the first team, earns market trust, starts shaping pipeline, and closes the first strategic deals. The region is finally gaining traction. Then HQ starts asking questions. “Why is forecast still soft?” “Why are deals taking so long?” “Why is headcount ahead of revenue?” And somewhere around month 12 to 18, pressure starts building. If you’re leading APAC right now, you already know this feeling. The job isn’t just building the business. It’s helping HQ understand a region that behaves very differently from the US or Europe. Enterprise deals here are slower to start. Trust matters more. Decision-making is less linear. And one regional strategy rarely works across every market. That’s not poor execution. That’s APAC reality. Here’s what I’ve seen strong APAC leaders do well: → They educate HQ early Not after problems happen. Before expectations harden. → They report leading indicators, not just closed revenue Pipeline quality. Stakeholder engagement. Expansion conversations. Partner traction. → They explain market differences clearly Japan is not Singapore. Indonesia is not Australia. One APAC number hides very different realities underneath. → They hire carefully, even under pressure One wrong early hire in a new market can set the region back a year. → They manage expectations constantly Because silence creates assumptions. And assumptions create pressure. The companies that succeed in APAC give regional leaders time, trust, and air cover. And the leaders who survive here? They learn to manage up as well as they manage the market. If you’re sitting in this role right now, keep going. A lot of the most important progress in APAC is invisible before it becomes obvious.

Mohit Sagar liked thisMohit Sagar liked thisAt a recent OpenGov Breakfast Insight in Singapore, senior financial services leaders explored a critical challenge: how to move beyond AI pilots towards enterprise-scale intelligence with trust, governance and measurable business impact. The discussion highlighted a growing reality: AI alone is not the differentiator. Real value comes from modern infrastructure, real-time data, strong governance and embedding AI directly into enterprise workflows. Moderated by Mohit Sagar, CEO & Editor-in-Chief of OpenGov Asia, the session featured: - Shashank Kesarwani, Senior Vice President, Information Technology, DBS Bank - Dilipkumar B Khandelwal, Chief Technology Officer, SG/SEA HQ, Hewlett Packard Enterprise - Swee Hong Peh, Chief Technology Officer, CTC Global Pte Ltd Singapore - Christine Huah, Head of Sales, CTC Global Pte Ltd Singapore - Jamie Lim, Vice President, Partnerships APJ, H2O.ai - Jit Sheng Seah, Senior Data Scientist, APAC, H2O.ai They shared practical insights on scaling AI beyond experimentation, embedding agentic workflows into financial operations and building the infrastructure, governance and ecosystem partnerships required to operationalise AI responsibly at scale. The takeaway was clear: success with AI in financial services is no longer about isolated innovation, but about how effectively organisations align infrastructure, trusted data, governance and operating models to deliver scalable, enterprise-wide outcomes with confidence.
