Modernizing Data and Cloud Systems with Co-Founder of Tessell, Bakul Banthia
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Even with thousands of applications in the cloud, many organizations are still stuck with legacy systems that slow them down. So how do leaders modernize without putting business-critical operations at risk?
We sit down with Tessell co-founder Bakul Banthia to examine the tension between modernization and stability. Drawing from years of experience in database management, Bakul explains why cloud migration remains one of the most complex transitions in IT and how AI is reshaping the path forward.
He discusses the fear of disrupting long-standing systems, the need for thoughtful consolidation, and why starting small with measurable outcomes helps organizations scale new technologies with confidence. Bakul also shares how performance expectations are shifting, and why leaders must adopt a “crawl, walk, run, fly” approach to implementing AI responsibly.
For leaders, builders, and everyone in between, this episode provides a clear look at how modernization unfolds in real time and what it takes to do it safely.
