About Ajay Y.

I currently lead the Google Cloud Business Unit for North America at Persistent Systems, leading Sales and Solution Engineering with a sharp focus on enterprise transformation in the age of AI in the capacity of VP Sales. At the intersection of business strategy and emerging technology, I work with CXOs and digital leaders across industries to translate complex challenges into scalable, AI-driven solutions. My focus is helping enterprises move beyond experimentation to production-grade AI systems that orchestrate workflows, modernize data estates, and transform core platforms into cloud-native, future-ready architectures. My passion lies in deeply understanding business problems and architecting transformational roadmaps that unlock measurable outcomes. Today, much of my work centers around- Agentic AI–led Enterprise Transformation – Helping organizations move beyond traditional automation toward autonomous, AI-driven systems that reason, orchestrate, and execute across business workflows- Data Modernization at Scale – Designing modern data platforms on Google Cloud that unify data estates, enable real-time intelligence, and power advanced analytics and GenAI use cases- Legacy Workload Modernization – Replatforming and refactoring mission-critical enterprise systems to cloud-native, API-driven, scalable architectures that accelerate innovation and reduce technical debt- AI-infused SDLC & PDLC Transformation – Embedding GenAI and Agentic capabilities into product engineering lifecycles to dramatically improve velocity, quality, and cost efficiency.I am fortunate to lead strategic conversations spanning AI strategy, digital platform design, cloud economics, governance, and operating model evolution — helping enterprises rethink how they build, run, and scale technology in a rapidly evolving landscape.Prior to my current role, I was with MediaAgility—a Google Cloud Partner acquired by Persistent in May 2022. During my tenure there, I led digital transformation journeys for customers across nine countries. My work involved migrating workloads to Google Cloud, building data warehouses and data lakes, developing smart analytics using Big Data and IoT, and managing workplace transformations with Google Workspace.I have extensive experience working with enterprise customers across various sectors, including Retail, CPG, Fintech, BFSI, Technology, and Media & Entertainment. My approach has always been to help innovators focus on their core business goals by managing the technical complexities of their digital and cloud strategies.
