Technology leadership in manufacturing has moved far beyond keeping systems running. Today, CIOs and CISOs are expected to enable growth, accelerate innovation, manage risk and build resilience, all while navigating AI, cybersecurity and increasingly connected operations.
In the inaugural episode of PowWow, Tanushree Banerjee, Head of Content Marketing at Newgen Software, spoke with Dr. Subhash Singh Punjabi, CISO & Head Enterprise Architecture at Deepak Fertilisers & Petrochemicals Corporation Limited, about what it really takes to build a future-ready manufacturing enterprise.
Drawing on more than three decades of experience across automotive, metal, life sciences and chemical manufacturing, Dr. Singh explored how technology evolved from a support function into the backbone of business and why transformation is ultimately about changing how the business operates, not simply implementing new technology.
The conversation explores:
- The right mix of technology in digital transformation
- How CISOs can measure transformation through decision velocity, agility, resilience and innovation
- Where AI is transforming manufacturing, from predictive maintenance and supply chains to worker safety
- Why digital trust is becoming a competitive advantage
- Why legacy systems aren’t necessarily the problem
- How the modern CISOs and CIOs operate at the intersection of business, technology, risk, data and innovation
A candid conversation about making technology decisions that don’t just transform enterprises, but make them safer, smarter, more resilient and ready for what’s next.
