Brained Appoints Former Sony Technology COO Anil Goel as Chief AI Transformation Officer

Bengaluru: Enterprise AI platform Brained has appointed technology veteran Anil Goel as its Chief AI Transformation Officer (CAITO), strengthening its leadership team as the company expands its AI-led enterprise transformation business.

Goel brings over three decades of experience spanning enterprise technology, digital platforms, media, and large-scale transformation. Most recently, he served as COO – Technology at Sony, where he played a key role in leading technology operations, including the company’s integration efforts during the proposed Zee merger. Prior to Sony, he spent 18 years at Accenture, contributing to the technology foundations behind platforms such as SonyLIV and Disney+ Hotstar. His career also includes leadership roles at Rediff, where he worked on its U.S. expansion, and TCS, where he was associated with Microsoft’s Centre of Excellence. He is also the author of Exit Point and Release 2.0.

The appointment comes as Brained accelerates adoption of its enterprise AI platform, enabling organizations to design, govern, and execute business transformation initiatives powered by artificial intelligence.

Akshit Sharma, Founder & CEO of Brained: “Brained is building for enterprises navigating one of the biggest technology shifts in decades. Anil’s track record of leading technology transformation at scale brings tremendous depth to our leadership team and strengthens our ability to help enterprises translate AI ambition into business outcomes.”

In his new role, Goel will work closely with enterprise customers and Tier-1 SI partners to accelerate AI-led transformation, influence Brained’s product roadmap, and build scalable frameworks that enable organizations to translate AI investments into measurable business outcomes.

Anil Goel: “AI is fundamentally changing how enterprises operate, but sustainable transformation requires far more than technology. It requires disciplined execution, governance, and a clear connection between AI initiatives and business outcomes. Brained is addressing that challenge with a platform built for enterprise transformation, and I’m excited to be part of this journey.”

The appointment underscores Brained’s strategy of combining enterprise software with deep transformation expertise as organizations increasingly seek partners capable of taking AI from experimentation to enterprise-wide adoption.

Why AI Pilots Succeed, but Enterprise Deployments Fail: Two New Books from Venkat Chitturi Make the Case for Durable Product Engineering

Why AI Pilots Succeed, but Enterprise Deployments Fail: Two New Books from Venkat Chitturi Make the Case for Durable Product Engineering

Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], May 18: As enterprises accelerate investments in artificial intelligence, two newly released books by author and Technoidentity founder Venkat Chitturi, Durable Agents and Built to Endure, examine one of the defining challenges in modern technology: why intelligent systems succeed in controlled environments but fail under real-world operational conditions.

Published by BlueRose Publishers, the books present a systems-first perspective on enterprise AI, operational resilience, and long-term scalability at a time when organizations across industries are struggling to move AI initiatives from experimentation to dependable production deployment.

The books were officially launched at Replay 2026, alongside Samar Abbas, CEO of Temporal Technologies, reflecting growing industry focus on durable orchestration, production reliability, and enterprise-scale AI infrastructure.

At the center of both books is Durable Product Engineering™, Technoidentity’s systems-first approach to building resilient, observable, adaptable, and production-grade technology platforms. The framework examines how operational fragility, hidden technical debt, workflow breakdowns, and governance gaps create systems that appear successful in demonstrations but fail under real-world conditions.

Built to Endure explores how modern organizations can create long-term competitive advantage through operational resilience, disciplined execution, scalable systems design, and dependable product architecture in an era increasingly shaped by AI-driven transformation.

Complementing this perspective, Durable Agents focuses on the growing reliability gap between successful AI pilots and enterprise-scale deployment. The book argues that the core challenge in enterprise AI is no longer the intelligence of the model itself, but the orchestration systems surrounding it, including recoverability, coordination, auditability, governance, and human oversight.

The book examines durable agents as production-grade AI systems designed to survive operational failures, preserve decision traceability, coordinate across workflows, and remain reliable in complex enterprise environments.

Speaking about the release, Venkat Chitturi, said, “Most organizations think they have an AI problem when they actually have a systems problem. Intelligence is becoming abundant. What remains rare is durability — systems that can be trusted, audited, adapted, and scaled under real operational stress. The companies that win in the AI era will not simply automate faster. They will build systems that endure.”

Together, the books provide enterprise leaders, CTOs, architects, operators, and founders with a practical framework for building durable systems in the next phase of AI adoption.

Both books are now available on Amazon worldwide:

* Durable Agents: https://www.amazon.in/Durable-Agents-Venkat-Chitturi/dp/9378255248/

* Built to Endure: https://www.amazon.in/Built-Endure-Venkat-Chitturi/dp/9378251803
