AI Impact Summit 2026
Industry leaders gather in New Delhi to discuss the future of SaaS and AI agents.
Salesforce & TCS Outlook
CEOs Arundhati Bhattacharya and K. Krithivasan present a vision of SaaS as a governance and architecture layer.
$300B Opportunity Identified
Infosys CEO Salil Parekh highlights the massive economic potential of AI orchestration services.
Deutsche Bank has revealed a $30 billion exposure to the private credit market, warning that indirect risks from non-bank financial institutions could trigger significant credit losses. The disclosure comes as major asset managers like Blackstone and Blue Owl face a surge in redemptions, signaling a potential 'SaaS-pocalypse' for tech-heavy portfolios.
KKR executives, including Co-CEOs Scott Nuttall and Joe Bae, have invested $46 million in company shares, signaling a major shift toward long-duration capital and retail wealth. The firm is aggressively pivoting away from legacy SaaS toward asset-based finance and insurance-driven growth.
Industry leaders at the AI Impact Summit 2026 argue that while AI agents will disrupt traditional SaaS, they will not render it obsolete. Instead, the focus is shifting toward high-level architecture, governance, and a projected $300 billion services opportunity.

We track each entity's appearance over time so readers can trace how the narrative evolves — which developments are isolated incidents, which build into longer arcs, and which reframe how operators in the space think about the entity.
