Pioneering CTOs Transforming the Tech Landscape in 2025.pdf

Broken systems often reveal what technology must fix, not for convenience, but for survival. Unmesh Deshpande’s journey began at the intersection of such failures, when he saw people losing their loved ones, not due to a lack of medicine, but to a lack of systems that should have saved them. In a country where millions struggle with fragmented healthcare infrastructure, his mission was born: to transform not just processes, but people’s lives, using technology as the bridge.

‘And for CTO? This moans rethinking schier,

hardware schein, and DevSccOps practices.

4, Real World Use Case Already ia Play
‘Healthcare Disgantic:

5. Challenges CTOs Need to Watch For

Hardware Compatibility:

[Edge Al requires compatible chips, alerts, and
‘senor. Not all existing devices are ready. Thats a eal
infractor cost o consider

Energy Consumption:
Reming Al locally mean higher compete on-devi.
ower constr ocome a serious cio, cpecaly for
ay operated systems

Security Bind Spots:
Wie Confident! Compatin offers strong protection,
ite il now. Bugs, firmware tacks, or poor
implementation can cate false confidence.

Limited Talent Pool:
‘You'll oc developer mila with ce deployment,
embod yume, Al model opinion, and cd
‘hardware. That combination sil rae.

Complesity in Deployment:
Coca acres unde (o hoard) of
‘cdg devices n't cay. You'l nod the right management
tools and protocol.

6. Hw to Start Integrating Edge Al and Confidential

33. bulletproof privacy. They're decentairing data without
losing contr. They giving devices autonomy without
‘mating hem risky

Ter a quick action chock to stat fom:

+ Adit whore Isny matter in your cren systems

+ densify seitive data ppelin hat nea aime
precio

+ Start POC with vendor offering ge Al tools
(NVIDIA Jetson, Google Coral, te.)

‘+ Choose a cloud provider fring Confidential Visor
TEE

+ Upa of hire or embedded ML and confidential
computing

‘+ Build a monitoring and update strategy for ode devices
+ Stay close to now options on Al and data privacy
Final Thought

"Edge Aland Confidential Computing arn just bazrwords
in 2025. Thoy'n tho new architect for ren time
intlience and tt

you are CTO, the choice is simple: start now or geile
Behind. The companies leading the next wave of novation
“wil be the ones that combine performance and privacy, at
the edge.
