About Abhinav Srivastava
I started my career as a DevOps engineer, fascinated by how systems scale. Today I lead a 50-engineer global organization at SAP focused on building enterprise AI platforms and production-grade AI solutions used by global customers. I lead teams spanning AI platform engineering, solution architecture, and enterprise AI delivery, helping organizations move from AI experimentation to AI at scale.I founded and lead SAP’s Frontier AI Innovation Lab — housing 20+ production-ready AI accelerators that have powered 30+ enterprise customer deployments globally. My work sits at the intersection of AI platform architecture, engineering leadership, and enterprise transformation, helping enterprises translate rapid advances in AI and Generative AI into real-world production systems.Over the past decade I have worked across DevOps, platform engineering, and AI systems. This journey has taught me a simple lesson: enterprise AI doesn’t fail because of bad technology — it fails because organizations aren’t built to absorb it. My focus is on building the engineering platforms, teams, and capabilities that make AI adoption inevitable.Today my team works on:• Enterprise AI platforms and developer tooling• Production-scale Generative AI systems• AI-powered enterprise applications for global customersAlong the way I have contributed to the field through several U.S. patent in AI/cloud technologies, global speaking engagements at KubeCon, CDCon, World DevOps Summit, and SAP TechEd, and 200+ enterprise customer engagements on AI strategy and adoption.I’m passionate about building AI-native engineering organizations and advancing the future of enterprise AI, and always happy to connect with leaders and innovators working at the intersection of AI, platforms, and large-scale enterprise systems.
