AI Takes Centre Stage, but Security, Data and Cloud Hold the Key

As channel partners move from selling products to delivering outcomes, managed services and governance anchor the next phase of channel growth.

Every few years, a technology shift forces businesses to rethink where growth will come from. Today, that shift is AI. As enterprises move from experimentation to embedding intelligence into everyday operations, the question is no longer whether to adopt AI, but how to do it securely, responsibly and at scale.

To understand how the industry is preparing, VARINDIA spoke to channel partners about the technology areas set to drive their growth and how they are changing their business models. A strikingly consistent picture emerges. AI sits at the centre of the growth story, but rarely alone. Cybersecurity, cloud and data modernisation, and managed services feature in nearly every outlook, anchored by a shared conviction that AI cannot scale without secure infrastructure, trusted data and strong governance. Identity, compliance, post-quantum readiness, blockchain and disaster recovery add further layers, while AI agents and intelligent automation are reshaping how work gets done.

The business models behind that growth are changing just as visibly. Technology providers are moving from selling products to delivering outcomes, from project-by-project work to consultative, advisory-led and managed engagements, and from reselling to building their own intellectual property. Recurring and value-based contracts are gaining ground, and many are applying AI internally first, while others invest in enabling partners.

What follows are their insights on the next phase of business growth, and what it will take to build it on foundations of trust, accountability and measurable value for customers.

PRASHANTH SUBRAMANIAN CO-FOUNDER & DIRECTOR, QUADRASYSTEMS.NET (INDIA) PVT. LTD.

AI growth will depend on security, data and strong foundations

“Over the next two to three years, we expect our growth to come from three areas: applied AI, security, and cloud and data modernisation. Applied AI will be a driver, but the opportunity is not choosing a model or deploying a Copilot or chatbot. The real work begins when organisations integrate AI into operations, redesign processes, clean up data, and put governance in place. Helping customers bridge this gap will be part of our growth.

Security can no longer be treated separately from AI. Every AI agent introduces another identity, another set of permissions, and another point of exposure. Security needs to be built into an AI initiative from the beginning. Cloud and data modernisation is important, creating the foundation for AI through clean data pipelines, sound architecture, appropriate controls, and infrastructure that can support the transition from a pilot to production.

We are moving beyond the role of an implementation partner, becoming the layer that helps customers turn technology into business value. We are shifting from transactional engagements towards outcome-led and managed models, developing our own intellectual property on top of hyperscaler platforms, and placing emphasis on assessing readiness before recommending a solution. In an AI-first economy, customers will value partners prepared to take responsibility for outcomes, not just deployments. We would rather strengthen the foundation and build a long-term relationship than complete a sale that does not deliver value.”

PRATIK SHAH DIRECTOR, GOYAMA SECURETECH LLP

Moving from product to capability distribution will drive our AI-era growth

“Over the next 2–3 years, we see the strongest growth coming from the convergence of AI, cybersecurity, data resilience and intelligent IT operations. AI will increasingly become an intelligence layer across cybersecurity and enterprise IT—from AI-powered threat detection and response to security automation, intelligent RMM/PSA and proactive IT operations. At the same time, the evolution of ransomware and increasingly complex digital environments will drive demand for cyber resilience, backup, recovery and data protection.

We also see significant opportunities around Zero Trust, SASE, ZTNA, SD-WAN and cloud security, as organisations continue to operate across hybrid and distributed environments. For technology partners, the opportunity is moving beyond individual products toward integrated solutions that combine security, networking, data protection and automation. We believe this shift will create significant opportunities for partners who can bring technology together with domain expertise and measurable business outcomes. The biggest transformation for us is moving from product distribution to capability distribution. At Goyama SecureTech, our objective is to build a partner-first ecosystem where technology partners are equipped not only with products, but also with knowledge, technical capabilities, solution expertise and business support. We are investing in partner enablement, technical skills, solution architecture, practice building, managed-service opportunities and lifecycle support.

PUNIT THAKKAR CEO & MD, SHIVAAMI CLOUD SERVICES PVT. LTD.

AI is becoming an enterprise operating layer driving our transformation growth

“We are entering a phase where AI will become an operating layer for the enterprise. Over the next two to three years, we expect the strongest growth to come from the convergence of Enterprise AI, cloud, cybersecurity, data and AI-powered digital workplaces. The opportunity will shift from AI experimentation to AI-led transformation—using intelligent automation, AI agents, and enterprise data to redesign workflows and improve decision-making. However, AI cannot scale without a strong foundation. Cloud modernization, identity, cybersecurity, data governance and managed services remain critical. Our strategy at Shivaami is to help customers move from cloud adoption and digital workplace to AI adoption and AI-led transformation, with security and governance embedded at every stage.

The traditional reseller or implementation-partner model is giving way to an outcome-led model, where customers expect expertise, integration, adoption and measurable business impact.

RAJESH MATHKAR DIRECTOR, WYSETEK SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGISTS PVT. LTD.

Managed security, app modernization, and governed data foundations will drive growth

“Over the next two to three years, three reinforcing areas will drive our growth, rather than compete for budget: cybersecurity as a managed service, application modernization, and data and AI readiness. Large enterprises no longer focus on tools; they want outcomes run for them, with someone accountable for it. Our Cyber Defense Centre does exactly that, as DPDP and CERTIn make security a board-level obligation. Momentum is also strong in App Modernization as enterprises move off costly proprietary stacks toward enterprise-grade open-source technologies for control, economics, and freedom from lock-in. Bringing Scalezee’s DevOps and cloud-native capabilities in-house allows us to operate these environments, while remaining multi-OEM lets us integrate the right governed data foundation for each customer.

For much of our 36 years, we were an integrator—we designed, built, and handed over systems. An AI-first economy quietly changes what customers value. They can source technology anywhere, but lack the capacity to operate it continuously with leaner teams. Our role is shifting from building and handing over to running systems on an ongoing basis—moving from one-time project revenue toward recurring managed services.

AI enters this shift both internally and externally. Internally, we built CyberAdvisor, an AI cybersecurity presales assistant, to give customers faster, more accurate answers than a team could turn around. Externally, we help clients adopt AI without walking into new risk by governing data, securing models, and keeping everything inside compliance lines.”

RANJAN CHOPRA FOUNDER & CEO, TEAM COMPUTERS

Bringing integrated AI, cloud, and managed services to enterprise operations

“Over the next 2-3 years, AI will be one of the key drivers of our growth as organisations move from experimentation to deploying AI across business functions. We see significant opportunities around AI-led automation, data and analytics, and the infrastructure required to support AI workloads at scale. Cloud and hybrid infrastructure will remain equally important as businesses modernise their IT environments while balancing performance, security and cost. Cybersecurity will also become increasingly critical as the attack surface expands with cloud adoption and AI-led transformation. Managed services will play a larger role as organisations seek specialised expertise without building every capability in-house, bringing these capabilities together to create measurable value from IT investments. The shift towards an AI-first economy is changing how organisations evaluate technology. For technology partners, this means moving beyond traditional infrastructure and solution delivery towards helping customers solve broader business challenges. At Team Computers, we are strengthening our capabilities across AI, cloud, data, cybersecurity and managed services, bringing them together to address evolving customer needs.

Our focus is on helping organisations identify where technology creates measurable business impact rather than implementing individual solutions. This requires a combination of technology expertise, consulting, implementation and ongoing managed services, while continuously building skills to help customers adopt emerging technologies securely and scalably. Ultimately, our business model is evolving from delivering technology to helping customers translate technology into business outcomes as AI becomes embedded across enterprise operations.”

SAI GOPAL DIRECTOR, SOFTCELL TECHNOLOGIES GLOBAL PVT. LTD.

SAIRAMAN MUDALIAR DIRECTOR, PENTAGON SYSTEM AND SERVICES PVT. LTD.

Building robust infrastructure and security ecosystems to scale enterprise AI

“Over the next two to three years, we see growth coming from the convergence of AI, data, hybrid cloud, and modern infrastructure rather than from any one technology in isolation. AI will be a major catalyst, but its real business impact will depend on the infrastructure, data platforms, security, and cloud ecosystem that support it. We see strong opportunities across GenAI, AI infrastructure, data and analytics, hybrid cloud, automation, and cybersecurity, particularly as enterprises move from experimentation to production scale. For us, the opportunity is not simply to sell technology, but to help enterprises build the technology foundation required to scale what comes next.

The shift to an AI-first economy is changing what customers expect from technology partners as the conversation moves from buying technology to achieving business outcomes. We are therefore evolving from a traditional technology integration model towards a solutions and outcomes-led approach, bringing together infrastructure, cloud, AI, data, cybersecurity, and managed services.

Our focus is on helping customers move from AI pilots to production while ensuring that underlying infrastructure, data, and security are ready to support that journey. We are investing in specialised capabilities and partnerships so that we can act as a strategic technology partner rather than simply a point solution provider.

Simultaneously, infrastructure management is evolving through predictive monitoring, event correlation, rootcause analysis, and automated remediation. In the digital workplace, AI copilots, proactive digital employee experience management, and self-healing endpoints are expanding service automation. Across these domains, CIOs face pressure to deliver more within flat or lower operating budgets, creating opportunities to help enterprises transition with measurable operational and cost benefits.

To remain competitive in an AI-first digital economy, we are building AI into operations while retaining human oversight for critical decisions. We are embedding our own intellectual property into managed services—such as Workelevate, which brings AI Copilot, DEX, endpoint management, and automation into our Digital Workplace Services to strengthen differentiation. Furthermore, we are moving towards outcome-oriented engagements that translate delivery efficiencies into customer value. In a recent three-year engagement with a leading FMCG company, pricing reduces over the term as AI and automation optimise delivery, sharing productivity gains with the customer. We are also strengthening AI, automation, platform engineering, and cybersecurity capabilities. This combination of people, platforms, and technology enables us to scale efficiently and continuously improve service delivery while delivering value.”
