Re-engineering enterprise foundations for the AI-native era
Date: Tuesday, January 20, 2026
Time: 4:30pm to 8:30pm, followed by cocktails and dinner
Venue: Taj MG Road, Bangalore
Join us at the Digital Leaders Forum for a candid discussion on how organizations can move beyond pilots toward AI that works in real enterprise conditions.
Together, we’ll explore how agentic engineering and AI-native models can remove legacy barriers and improve the speed, quality and economics of software delivery, so you can scale AI without waiting for a clean-slate architecture.
You’ll also get an exclusive first look at AI/works™, Thoughtworks’ new agentic development platform shaping the next generation of software delivery.
This is a unique opportunity to connect with senior peers and learn how to re-engineer what sits beneath AI, so innovation can scale with confidence and control.
