His leadership has shaped industries across North America, Europe, and Asia. Ajay’s expertise has also been recognized at the highest levels; he was named one of the Asian Power 100, a list of the most influential Asians in the UK, and one of the Sunday Times’ top 100 BAME business leaders in 2016.

Currently, as Managing Director and Senior Partner at BCG Digital Ventures, Ajay continues to drive innovation in the tech world. He also chairs Cambridge Enterprise, the University of Cambridge’s spinout arm, guiding the next generation of tech pioneers.

Ajay’s talk will offer a rare glimpse into the world of tech entrepreneurship, from the challenges of scaling startups to the impact of AI on business and society. This is a unique opportunity to learn from one of the most distinguished figures in the tech industry, while enjoying a leisurely afternoon around a lunch and stimulating conversation.
