Madhav Anadkat is an independent Chief AI Officer based in Ahmedabad, with delivery across India, EU, GCC and the Nordics. He architects, ships and governs production AI — LLMOps and agentic orchestration, voice AI, private and sovereign deployments, and the ISO-42001 / SOC-2 evidence pack that lets a board sign off without losing sleep. 15 years shipping — first as an IoT solution architect across maritime AI and medical-grade healthcare IoT, now as a CAIO orchestrating GenAI transformation across twenty industries. He keynotes on production AI delivery, AI risk for boards, the agent stack in 2026, and the CAIO operating model. Past venues include PMI Gujarat Chapter, NIFT Gandhinagar, Atmiya AI Summit and HP WeRise Ahmedabad. He holds engagements with Fortune 500 and enterprise customers across banking, pharma, and cloud infrastructure — described, never named.

Topic library
Five core talks. Custom on the brief.
01
Keynote · 45 min · Workshop · 90 min
Build · Production AI Delivery
What it actually takes to ship an AI system that survives audit, regulator, and the 3am page. Concrete walk-through of the production stack: model picks, RAG vs fine-tune trade-offs, the agent loop, the cost model. Anti-patterns from real engagements.
02
Keynote · 45 min · Fireside · 30 min
Run · The Agent Stack in 2026
Long-horizon orchestration with kill switches, replay, and human-in-the-loop — not toy demos. MCP servers, multi-agent frameworks, evals at scale, prompt caching, the cost / latency frontier.
03
Keynote · 45 min · Boardroom · 60 min
Govern · AI Risk for Boards
ISO-42001 alignment, the evidence pack a regulator wants, the risk register a board signs. Designed for non-technical audiences — CXO offsites, audit-committee briefings, association keynotes.
04
Keynote · 45 min · Fireside · 30 min
The CAIO Operating Model
What an independent or fractional Chief AI Officer actually does — and what they don't. Hiring, vendor calibration, the four artifacts every CAIO ships in year one, the three traps to avoid.
05
Keynote · 45 min · Workshop · 90 min
Building an AI-Native Team
How to hire, structure, and incentivise an engineering org that ships AI as a default — not as a special project. Org design, role ladders, the AI-assistant-first development workflow (BMAD, Claude Code, Cowork).

FAQ
Frequently asked.
What topics can you cover at depth?
Five core talks: Build (production AI delivery), Run (the agent stack in 2026), Govern (AI risk for boards), the CAIO operating model, and building an AI-native team. Each ships in keynote (45 min), fireside (30 min) and workshop (90 min) variants. Custom angles for your industry on request.Will you do a free 15-minute vetting call?
Yes. Programme chairs vet without commitment — drop a Cal.com slot from /book or email the press desk. I prefer this over a deck: you get to see how I think, I get to see whether the room is right.Are you OK with our format — strict 20 minutes, no slides, panel only?
Yes to all three. Twenty-minute hard format is a craft constraint, not a problem. No-slides is a relief. Panels need a moderator I can trust to keep time; if you don't have one, I can recommend two.What's your honorarium for non-profit / govt / education events?
Discounted, pro-rated, or pro-bono depending on audience reach and mission. Government speaking, university convocations, and not-for-profit summits with audience >500 are typically pro-bono in India. Travel + stay still requested for on-site.Where do you travel from? What's the standard package?
Vadodara / Mumbai / Ahmedabad. Standard package: economy travel from base city, single-room stay night-of, ground transport at venue. International (EU / GCC / UK / SEA) requires business-class long-haul — quoted per request.Do you record? Can we use the recording internally and externally?
I encourage recording; please share a clean cut with me. Internal use, conference highlights reel, social clips, and on-demand replay — all yours by default. Re-licensing for paid programmes (paywalled academies, etc.) is a separate conversation.How early should we book?
Six to twelve weeks for a keynote in India. Twelve to twenty weeks for international travel. Tighter is possible — message me with the date and I'll tell you immediately whether the calendar holds.Can you customise for our industry — BFSI, pharma, manufacturing, govt?
Yes — that's the default. The five core talks have industry overlays we build in the two weeks before the event. Send the brief and I'll send back a one-pager with the exact framing, opening hook, and three audience-specific takeaways.
