In this keynote, Varun Kacholia—CTO and Co-Founder of Eightfold AI—shares his journey from building foundational technology at Google to engineering the future of work through agentic AI. At Eightfold, talent systems are no longer passive tools—they’re intelligent agents, deeply embedded in enterprise workflows, driving business growth with purpose. With responsible AI at Eightfold's core from day one, Eightfold is pioneering a new era of trusted autonomy in HR.
Varun will explore how CHROs can shift from process managers to strategic orchestrators, empowered by agentic systems that reclaim time, anticipate needs, and unlock human potential—not just efficiently, but wisely.
