Tech TalksAgentic Data Management - Founder's Voice
ADM – Founder’s Voice Redefining the Future of Data with Agentic Intelligence In this special Founder’s Voice session, Raghu Mitra shares the vision, philosophy, and engineering journey behind Acceldata’s evolution from data observability to Agentic Data Management (ADM). As enterprises scale AI, analytics, and data-driven decision-making, traditional monitoring and reactive governance are no longer sufficient. The future demands systems that do not just observe data—but understand, reason, and act. ADM represents this next frontier. Built on the foundation of ADOC, ADM introduces autonomous, AI-powered agents that continuously monitor data ecosystems, diagnose issues with contextual intelligence, and execute corrective actions with minimal human intervention. In this session, Raghu explores the architectural thinking, real-world challenges, and breakthrough innovations that shaped ADM into a self-driving data management platform. Attendees will gain insight into: The shift from reactive observability to autonomous data operations How agentic systems transform reliability, quality, and governance The engineering principles behind scalable AI-native data management The long-term vision for intelligent, self-healing data ecosystems This session is not just a product overview—it is a forward-looking perspective on how agentic intelligence will redefine enterprise data strategy in the AI era.
