Sanchita Sur reacted on thisProcurement has been the last function to truly benefit from AI. Not because the technology wasn't ready. But because every tool asked you to change your process to fit it. We built Zinger the other way around. Zinger is Emplay Inc.'s AI procurement agent. Tailored to how you source, negotiate, and manage risk. Not a generic workflow dropped into your team. From RFPs that write themselves, to contracts that flag risk before you sign, to supplier monitoring that never sleeps. This is what end-to-end procurement looks like when AI is built for your process, not around it. If you are a CPO thinking about what the next 3 years of your function looks like, I would love to show you what Zinger can do for your team. We'll be at Procurement & Supply Chain LIVE: The US Summit on April 21- 22 at Navy Pier, Chicago. Find us at Booth #34. And if you are not attending but curious, drop a comment or DM me. Happy to set up a quick virtual call and walk you through Zinger personally.

Sanchita Sur reacted on thisSome moments just land differently. Last week, at the opening of Vodafone's Pan-European Logistics Hub in Luxembourg, one of the most significant supply chain infrastructure events in Europe this year, Emplay received the Innovation Partner Award from Vodafone Procure & Connect. I am incredibly proud. What made it special wasn't just the recognition. It was the setting. A live Vodafone environment, with the context and scale that makes innovation actually meaningful. We have built an AI platform with Sales and Procurement use-cases at its core, and seeing it come to life in front of the people who work with these challenges every day. That's the kind of validation you can't manufacture. None of this happens without a team that shows up every single day, cares deeply about the problem they're solving, and delivers when the stakes are high. This award is theirs. A heartfelt thank you to the Vodafone Procure & Connect team and Tomorrow Street for building something genuinely rare. A platform where portfolio companies and enterprise challenges meet in the same room. Being part of that ecosystem pushes us to be better. This is a milestone. But the most interesting chapter is still ahead.

Sanchita Sur reacted on thisI have sat in enough AI demos to know the difference between a product that shifts how procurement works and one that just dresses up the same process in a new interface. Most CPOs I speak to have bought the second one. Twice. Here's the scenario I keep hearing. Sourcing negotiated hard. Contracts was never told. AP paid the wrong rate for eight months. Nobody lied. Nobody missed an alert. Every module did exactly what it was designed to do. And the organisation leaked margin the entire time. That is not a process failure. It is an architecture failure. The question is not which module has AI. It is whether your agents share context across the entire chain. Because disconnected intelligence does not transform procurement. It just creates faster silos. That is the problem we built against. • Sourcing AI • Supplier Management AI • Contract Management AI • Category Management AI • Procurement AI Not standalone tools. A connected system where every agent shares context with the others. What sourcing knows, contracts knows. What contracts flags, procurement acts on. No coordination overhead. No gaps between handoffs. Before your next AI investment, ask yourself one question. If a supplier started drifting on price today, how many of your systems would catch it before your team did? If the honest answer is none, the architecture conversation is overdue. We will be at Procurement & Supply Chain LIVE: US Summit on 21 to 22 April. Come find us, see it running live and let's talk about what this looks like for your organization.

Sanchita Sur reacted on thisWhat if everything you thought you knew about procurement is about to change? AI isn't just optimizing supply chains. It's rewriting the rules of how organizations source, decide, and compete and most leaders haven't noticed yet. I will be taking the stage at Procurement & Supply Chain LIVE US Summit with insights on where AI is already disrupting procurement, the questions teams need to be asking right now, and what AI-powered supply chains will actually look like in practice. This isn't a talk about possibility. It's about what's already happening and what comes next. If you are a procurement or supply chain professional, come find me at the summit.

Sanchita Sur reacted on thisLooking forward to meeting industry professionals at the Procurement & Supply Chain LIVE: US Summit at Navy Pier on April 21–22. If you are attending, visit our booth to see how we can help you build agents that support sourcing, negotiation, and risk management at scale.

“Procurement dies in silence” is accurate, because none of these trigger alarms. They just slowly erode trust and impact over time.

Sanchita Sur liked thisSanchita Sur liked this🚨 Andrej Karpathy’s just shared his new set-up on 𝕏. It’s literally a self-improving second brain… with zero manual editing 🤯 A living AI knowledge base that continuously fixes and refines itself. Let me break it down. Instead of relying on complex RAG, the LLM pulls raw research directly into an Obsidian Markdown wiki. It completely takes over: ✦ Index creation ✦ System linting ✦ Native Q&A routing The core process is beautifully simple: → You dump raw sources into a folder → The LLM auto-compiles an indexed .md wiki → You ask complex questions → It generates outputs (Marp slides, matplotlib plots) and files them back in The big-picture implication of this is just wild. When agents maintain their own memory layer, they don’t need massive, expensive context limits. They really just need two things: → Clean file organization → The ability to query their own indexes Forget stuffing everything into one giant prompt. This approach is way cheaper, highly scalable... and 100% inspectable! _____ 1. You can find this self-improving wiki approach from Karpathy here: → https://lnkd.in/eUR3fEUE 2. Here's a great breakdown of Karpathy’s framework, walking through every stage from ingestion to what comes next: → https://lnkd.in/e_BZkvi3 3. Omar took a v. similar approach with Obsidian, check out his video demo → https://lnkd.in/eahGaAvb

Thanks Hannah Howard , Curtis Crosswhite , Ian Sutton. I really enjoyed our time together and the discussion with Nick, Kieran and Dylan. . It was also great to catch up with my old Vodafone grad buddy Hamish Sansom and also Darren Chew. It’s been a long time!! I was 22 last time I was in Auckland. Visited for an interview and again stayed for less than 48 hours. Must stay longer next time and explore your beautiful country!!!

Sanchita Sur liked thisSanchita Sur liked thisThis year marks 25 years of Vodafone in Ireland, a milestone shaped by the people, businesses, and communities we’ve had the privilege to serve. So, it was great to be back in Dublin last week to celebrate that journey and to see first-hand how our commitment to the country continues to grow. Margherita Della Valle, Sabrina Casalta, and I met the Taoiseach and IDA CEO Michael Lohan at a significant moment for connectivity in Ireland. During the visit, we celebrated the country’s first mobile video call via satellite using a standard smartphone, made from an area with no existing mobile coverage on Clare Island, to Dublin. It showed demonstrated how satellite technology can close coverage gaps, strengthen resilience, and keep people connected wherever they are. I also had the chance to catch up with Vodafone Ireland leadership team. As always, I was deeply again impressed by their passion for doing the right thing for customers, whether that’s improving network coverage, simplifying experiences, or helping more people get online. You can really feel the momentum behind the work they and their teams are driving. Ireland is moving with real purpose on its digital ambitions, and I’m proud of the role Vodafone plays as we build that future together. #VodafoneIreland #SeabedToStars #Satellite

Sanchita Sur liked thisSanchita Sur liked thisIgnacio Garcia, our VOIS AIDA Tower Director and CTO Vodafone Business, and Paola Molino, our Data Products and Engineering Director, spent three days with us in VOIS Pune this week. No slide-driven agenda. Just honest conversations, live AI demos, and a floor walk that put real programs in front of the people who shape the tower’s direction. What our leadership saw was not a snapshot. It was a working cross-section of what our teams are building and running — across Vodafone Germany, UK, Ireland, Vodacom, and our Partner Markets. Different geographies. Different maturity levels. One shared ambition. The Gen AI demos were grounding in the best possible way. Not proof of concept work. Actual solutions, in production, solving real problems for OpCos. Seeing leadership engage with that — asking the hard questions, probing the gaps — reminded me why proximity matters in any serious transformation programme. What stayed with us most was the roadmap conversation. When the people accountable for the Tower vision sit with the teams executing it, the gaps between strategy and delivery become visible — and closeable. That kind of alignment is not something a report can manufacture. Team you represented with substance. The depth of knowledge on display, across programmes and geographies, reflected what this organisation is genuinely becoming. The Tower growth story is being written across multiple time zones. These three days were a reminder that it takes human connection to make that coherent. Arun Tathare - Sr. Vice President - Head of Data and Analytics , Pierguido Caironi , Massimo Guarino

Sanchita Sur liked thisSanchita Sur liked thisExcited to share that I’ve started a new role as Director Vodafone Partners in London. I’ll be working with 30+ Partner Markets across Europe, the Middle East, Asia Pacific, and the Americas—a truly global footprint with significant opportunity ahead. My focus is clear: leading Vodafone Partners into the next phase of growth by building strong, win‑win partnerships, delivering execution excellence, and unlocking the full power of Vodafone’s global capabilities for telecom operators worldwide. When partnerships are done right, they become one of the most powerful engines for innovation, scale, and sustainable growth. That’s exactly where my energy and ambition will be. I’m also looking forward to joining the Vodafone Investments Team and to work alongside an outstanding group of leaders— Marina Martín García , Tim Boddy, Michael Bird, Thomas Griffiths, Andrew Nunn, Nadia Hoosen and Mark Kinghorn —under the leadership of Guillaume Boutin. #togetherwecan
