ad Nourah Karnat. Hello, Hello, Hello, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 7 (05:13):
Hello Giv Thank you for giving the opportunity.
Speaker 3 (05:18):

Speaker 1 (05:40):
That sounds good, all.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Right, sounds good to me. So beyond your titles and
your work, what has been on your heart and mind
lately as someone operating at this level of global impact?
Speaker 7 (05:58):
Yeah, and as into the technical leadership you know, you know,
I will. I must seasonal technology executive on a high
high level tire.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Rights which is called mission critical operations at Microshot. So
beyond the technical leadership.
Speaker 7 (06:16):
That I do on an extensive industry level, I bring
a strong research orientation with the peer reviewed publications mainly
development and learning scenarios alongside the technical contributions to the
Microsoft tech community. I have had you know, thousands of
(06:40):
reviews globally. I've served as a judge and I'm a
scholar with you know, multiple citations on it. I'm I
had served as a judge for major IVALA universities and
followed with other universities and other sectors. I've also authored
(07:05):
a couple of books and.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Applied for the patent.
Speaker 7 (07:10):
So as I said, I do have multiple scholarly publications
that are in place globally, which is impacting my work.
With a deep engineering grigger and applied research, you know,
not only a theatical manner. It translates to the real
world with hands on impact which shows the industry level outcomes.
(07:35):
I even recognized multiple Microsoft Industry awards for Innovation, customer impact.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
And delivery excellency.
Speaker 7 (07:44):
My academic background includes uh M b A and an
MCA in information technology with an Advanced artic level certifications
throughout the cloud and the SAP and the AI and
so on, so which shows a strong background learning along
(08:04):
with the practical implementations on the higher tire level.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Wow, and that's that's impressive. You're you are a brilliant person.
So I want to talk about the journey UH that
got you to this level. Tell us about yourself beyond
the resume, what shaped you into who you are today?
Speaker 1 (08:30):
What ship today is like? You know?
Speaker 7 (08:33):
I bring deep advertise, leading and enabling end to end
recipe landscapes, closely partnering with the customers, deeply going beyond
the cycles to optimize the entire landscapes, so beyond the
(08:55):
normal level of things. I'm a sportsperson, so I was
an atlet, so I I had a pay level gold
medal during my academic background. So so I led no
as a netflit on the state level to bring and
(09:18):
worked for multiple consulting companies as a consultant as the
previous before joining Microsoft, I've had on the spot awards
and as well as I innov innov your words throughout
the two decades of experience, along with the comprehensive reviews.
Why I've done multiple high level implementations. I've touched almost
(09:42):
all the corners of his SAP applications UH and.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Did migrated downtrenduagure.
Speaker 7 (09:49):
So the approach not only induced the scalable or resilient.
It is well governed enterprise solution that I apply, which
will have a a proper business outcome with a true
industry oil impact.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Indeed, indeed, and your work surpasses like C plus Python, JavaScript,
things of that nature that you know us common people,
well I won't say everybody recognizes, but you know the
more in tuned technology people, we understand those that kind
of terminology what drew you into technology?
Speaker 1 (10:30):
So the technology. So I had my background.
Speaker 7 (10:36):
Education into the technology, so called MCA Master of Computer Applications,
So I was recruited on with the in campus interviews
to the IT companies directly while I'm studying. Before entering
(10:58):
into IT, I was a part time faculty while I'm
studying my master's.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
So I did teaching for twel the great students for
three years after my college. So I did teach C
C plus.
Speaker 7 (11:14):
Plus Java all the even my AMCA project was the
robot technology, even before two decades back, I was started
doing the robotics.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Even the year is not into the picture.
Speaker 7 (11:27):
So yeah, so yeah, since I have the existing regular
academic background of computer science and deep expertise into the robotics,
into the Java technology and everything, I had turned into
the infimish technology with the IT companies.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
That's where I started growing.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Yeah, when did you realize you were operating at a
higher level than most people.
Speaker 7 (12:00):
I as a consultant seor consultant relief consultant overall. Whenever
a SAP religious any new applications.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Or implications or any data.
Speaker 7 (12:11):
Bases as as the nature of the learning that I have,
I used to learn and then do a certification certified
by a SAP media kid. So while I am working
with one of the consulting companies, I used to implement
as a PVOC by learning with one of the small
(12:31):
servers to make sure I.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Had and hands on experience.
Speaker 7 (12:36):
Before moving the ball into the production around me. So
that's where I got an exposure into all the SAP applications,
all the databases and the migrations, implementations and everything.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
So I still.
Speaker 7 (12:55):
I am a continuous learner. I allowed to study some thing,
to learn and innovate on a daiday basis and to
see where I can r a value and put a
more impact on the broader approach instead of just applying
to the particular solution.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
I understand. I love that. Let's talk about your your
how you operate at the global scale. So you're working
on mission critical systems. What does mission critical really mean
in your world?
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Second question?
Speaker 7 (13:36):
So the mission critical is nothing but the top fire
customers where I you.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Know, support end to end.
Speaker 7 (13:45):
So I focus established structure quickly clarifying business impact.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
I validate current.
Speaker 7 (13:53):
Customer architectures, and I apply the recovery exceumptions, align right
and owners and the separating systems from rood casts.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
So my background is.
Speaker 7 (14:06):
You know this issue leadership period with transparency and clear
imediation path. So by combining deep technical rigor with disciplaying
communication and the follow through, I help restore all the
customer service with more confidence level.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
And not only just applying.
Speaker 7 (14:28):
The fit of a fixed but to apply a cost
analysis to drive durable outcomes means the issue which is.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Coming today will not be repeated in a future.
Speaker 7 (14:40):
The industry skills that I work on a major healthcare
or retail or any other industry wide approach that I align.
I visit sites based on customer requests to review the
end to end customer landscapes on a high level. To
demonstrate the strength in the incident response, high availability and
(15:05):
disaster recovery positions, how the cluster is behaving, how it
can be failed over to the secondary when the primary
is not having the proper heartbeat. So how we can
apply the zillions to the posture, to the overall improvement,
how we can align and apply the permanent.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Fixes with the root cast.
Speaker 7 (15:29):
I always think to apply best possible solution industry solutions
to the customers on a higher tires to enable zero
business impact. That's where customers need right when the For example,
if we take one of the healthcare company, if the
service went down, it's a real world server right where
(15:50):
all the operations, all the patients, all the patients data,
all the requests will go down, so which impacts the
wider us a car where which we don't want it
to go into that trout. So to apply the precautions upfront.
We do this as proper estments to make sure everything
(16:12):
the trust environment is stable if in case, during some
time some outages happen, the primary primary server is having
a secondary node which can fail over secondary as a primary.
For example, if primary and secondary goes down, do we
have a disaster recovery system that can take over.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
So all these.
Speaker 7 (16:33):
Cluster mechanisms validation on the clouds, which is the proper
you know, scalable beyond the individual customers, they're using broader
availability gains and long term.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Operational value which will due to the customer.
Speaker 7 (16:52):
They might be having a couple of uh, you know,
you know, a couple of amounts that they need to
pay for a content appearly contact. But if the server
goes down, it's not only the number wise, but it
impacts the patients. For example, if we take the healthcare,
it impact the entire patients portal. If it take the retail,
(17:13):
if it impacts the entire retail operations, so if it
impacts the banking sector, if it impacts everything, all the transactions,
so even you see the on the industry wide. No,
none of the customers want.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Their server to be down right. It should be operational
to devour by seven.
Speaker 7 (17:33):
So if if the server is business be very critical,
which need high level visibility with all the operations to
be created end to end.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
That's called mission critical service.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
I see, I see. Now I'm a technical guy, but
not to technical, and I can explain when there was
Windows XP that system could go down, I could fix it,
no problems. But I slowly started to notice once Windows ten,
(18:09):
right at nine ten, I begin to notice my documents
would be on my desktop and also on my laptop,
Like how how could that be? And Microsoft was slowly
introducing us to the cloud. Now we have Windows eleven
and everything is cloud based. And if that went down,
I could not fit. I'm not the guy for that.
(18:30):
You know, my expertise level stops at Window XP and
unfortunately that's no longer a thing. But that's where you
come in, right And as you mentioned, you know healthcare.
If there's a problem of healthcare, and in my hometown,
the biggest hospital, their system went now and that forced
the nurses and doctors to go back to pen and paper.
(18:51):
Who wants to do that? It's twenty twenty six. Matter
of fact, what is pen and paper? We don't use
that anymore. But in your profession, when things like that happen,
you are the one responsible for the backup system or
to support that supports that cloud. Is that correct? Like,
how do you handle a crisis and that is a
(19:12):
major crisis when the healthcare system goes down?
Speaker 7 (19:16):
Yep, in a lament term, yes, And so I'm a
silo to operate all the industry wide sets to be
operational at the top scale to support from the back end.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Yeah, So for those who may not fully understand, how
would you explain SAP on a zoo in simple terms?
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Very good questions.
Speaker 7 (19:50):
So SAP or nasure any basically when when the.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
I mean in a simple.
Speaker 7 (19:57):
Time, if I have to say enterprise right, when any
customer wanted to have multiple branches. For example, if you
have a small branch, you can operate end to end, all.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
The financial transactions and all the.
Speaker 7 (20:15):
You know, invoices, all the inventory, all the materials, all
the supply chain you handled by your own if you
have one single company. But if you have a multiple
branches in a broader scale, it's not one person that
can manage.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Right. Let's call an enterprise.
Speaker 7 (20:35):
So sapnazure is sitting on Azure is a cloud is ornament.
SAP is is an enterprise customers that we have which
financially hosted and operated on a Microsoft Azure combining a
SAP reliability with cloud stability, scalability and resiliency. So you
(20:58):
need a SAP application in a if you wanted to
explain in a simple term, azure means running a SAP business.
Applications like any esport on a e C C b W.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
On Microsoft Azure Cloud.
Speaker 7 (21:13):
Instead of running them on their own individual silos or
on premissive servers.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
All right, and why is it so important for businesses
today to have that?
Speaker 7 (21:26):
Yeah, so we have a different applications from SAP right
car less. For HAHNA ECC b W business warehouse, we
have m DP Master Data Management which will load all
the master data UH theory which which business users can
interact with the systems and log in and create invices,
(21:47):
can certavices.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
For example, you have a warehouse right for healthcare, you
put the order for medical bills.
Speaker 7 (21:54):
So when you put the order for medical bills, how
the order be delivered to you, to the to the
local agency, right is through the warehouses. Right, so the
warehouses place the warehouses place the order through the back
end systems to automate the process for everybody, for all
(22:18):
the people to be you know, aligned, and the orders
should be in a place on a midnight order based right.
For example, you went to the hospital right now, you
have some prescriptions given to you and you went to
the pharmacy store to the evening. You need a prescription
to be ready. The pharmacy did not contain the pharmacy.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
To be ready by night.
Speaker 7 (22:44):
They said it will be available by tomorrow and will
reach out to you sometimes you will have some time
you might not have, right, So when when the when
the order is not available in the pharmacy right now
and then they say it is available tomorrow morning. How
it is reaching to the pharmacy to the early morning tomorrow, putty.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
I mean tomorrow morning.
Speaker 7 (23:04):
It's because the order is placing in the system. The
system is processing through the air house is the warehouse,
the survey.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
This goes down from the back end.
Speaker 7 (23:14):
The warehouse stops all the artists.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Oh I'm sorry, go ahead, Yeah, their house process the order.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
They ship the order to the normal.
Speaker 7 (23:29):
FORMACS in the morning, and then they call the respective
people to pick up their orders. The supply chain management
works back and forth based on this process.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
M I see, and an errata. You you've driven over
ninety seven resiliency in near zero downtime. Impressive. What separates
a stable system from a fragile one?
Speaker 7 (24:00):
Yeah, So, for example, for the large organization that run
digital systems, keep business operations every day, right, so if
we manage essential functions such as moving products through the
supply chains, or processing payments, or delivering hardware services or
(24:21):
running any factory. Everything is passing right, so we need
to carefully focus on upgrading older reliable systems and moving
them to the modern digital platforms that they are safer,
more dependable, and able to support the business.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Around the world.
Speaker 7 (24:40):
So the field is critically important because many hospitals to
manufacturers rely on these systems on the cloud to operate
NonStop day to day night operations. If these systems stopped
working even for a short time, it can cause serious
financial losses, struct essential services.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Or put public safety at risks.
Speaker 7 (25:04):
So I'm expert on helping to preventing these problems by
ensuring the systems are built to stay running under all conditions.
In in any practical terms, my work allows business to
complete everyday activities like taking customer orders, paying employees, managing
(25:25):
into wintry.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Delivering service without interruption.
Speaker 7 (25:28):
So to protecting the organizations from threats such as cyber attacks,
system breakdowns on shutten, increases in customer demands. Kind of
designing the systems and recovering quickly from problems and growing
business has expand and also helps the organization's main stable
and unreliable over the time.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Right, Right, So I professionally believe this a system is
only as good as the foundation or the infrastructure, infrastructure
or what we call support. Right. If the system is strong,
the support must be strong as well. And I'm sure
(26:13):
that you have one of those mindsets that is keen
or that is required when you're building a reliable support
system at scale because you're dealing with fortune companies. Then
we get to the team, and I also believe professionally
that a team is only as good as their leader.
So how do you move your teams from being reactive
(26:36):
proactive when they're thinking?
Speaker 7 (26:41):
Yeah, so when moving from the REACTU to proactive, so
you need to understand what the terminology is about, right,
So reactive is something then the instinct and service is
going down. Applying the success, understanding the problem, applying the
sixes within a few seconds or a few minutes is
(27:04):
really important.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
The main reason is.
Speaker 7 (27:10):
It is real it is impacting on a wider range, right,
So when when it is impacting on a wider range
across the initiatives, the focus has to continue consistently been
on moving operations from reactive support the productive reliability engineering,
which means how we can apply the fixes, how we
(27:32):
can prevent the regular operation.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Issues under reactive approach.
Speaker 7 (27:38):
So all reactive is under instant management, applying fixes, applying
permanent root cosset solution.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
So so when when the operation is slowly moving.
Speaker 7 (27:53):
From reactive to proact, which means if the system is stable,
if they're not having any issues, if the environment configuration
is up to date. As for the industry, then they
think about the innovation, how they can provide innovations and
apply innovations to more you know more more applying into
(28:16):
a delivery to a sustained reliability model, how they can
reduce the operational risks risk and how they can improve
the tangible business outcome. So all these things bill comes
under the proactive like improving expanding the business, adding extra branches,
all these kind of things under priactive and improving the
(28:40):
overall resiliency there applying the boundaries of strong security. So
I contribute to delivering nineteen nine point ninety percent availability,
nineteen nine point nine percent availability for recape customers on
azure really see customer conference signature as a physical interprise
(29:03):
rate platform on the.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Industry level, so that me if the customer.
Speaker 7 (29:08):
Is a stable and they know my system is stable,
my operations are going smooth. Then they think about how
can I expand, how can I innov it? How can
I find you in the landscape, So they think about
the further expand that's called under proact.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
Right. Uh, you've created a an AI driven pacemaker validation tool.
That's really cool. What problem were you trying to solve?
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Mhm yeah, good questions.
Speaker 7 (29:43):
It is a strong example of the approach its maker
configuration validations.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
The main reason is.
Speaker 7 (29:52):
Whoever whatever the customer that they're implementing or migrating from
on proNT to azure. Not everybody's strongly experienced or having
their depth technical knowledge into it. Right while migrating, they
might not apply proper configuration parameters to find tune their environment.
So it's the configuration of the parameters or not up
(30:14):
to do the or they're not.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Properly set which will lead to the system failures.
Speaker 7 (30:20):
So in order to test the customer environments on a
one shot, I invented or validated the AI tool that
initiated in response to reducing USIONE critical customer incidents.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
So the AI tool has.
Speaker 7 (30:37):
The golden template inside the seed based on different architectures,
scale up, scale out, zoo z, Linux, red Hat, So
it depends on the customer if it is a native
Hannah or whatever the application that they're using, any kind
of fish.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Maker cluster based on their architecture.
Speaker 7 (30:55):
The concept was developed and validated to the hackert on
collaboration with the teams.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Since it's been.
Speaker 7 (31:02):
Tested globally across all the Microsoft A City customer scenarios,
which includes all our factors.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Of use cases.
Speaker 7 (31:11):
The work reflects how I approach innovation, start with a
real customer problem to the collaborative approach broadly and the
build repeatable solutions that can scale at an industry level
to deliver global customer value.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
And you've worked across multiple multiple teams globally, tell me
about a time you enabled others or built readiness.
Speaker 7 (31:42):
Yeah, I on a day to day's environment. So I'm
leading worldwide center epicscellency and global readiness track for a recipe.
So the cross functional collaboration is one of my strongest
areas serious tribe bringing together the end caps. I am
(32:04):
the tech connect and CAPS speaker for all the SAP labs,
with all interacting with the product team, improving the tools,
applying the innovations, amending the issue correction with all other
stakeholders to design and deliver.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
With AIU workshop.
Speaker 7 (32:29):
It contributes to the structure feedback from live deliveries back
to the product, engagering teams to improve the overall context
quality and the field readiness. So I see, the collaboration
is more than the coordination. It means aligning technical depth,
customer value, customer feedbacks different industries, giving the feed to
(32:51):
the product team for the execution, applying the success so
that everyone moves towards the same outcome of improving the
overall toolings on the product side, not to better resist
the overall customers on the industry wide.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
See where do most teams struggle?
Speaker 7 (33:15):
Yeah, I mean it's not a struggle. I would say
sometimes the tool might be worked for one of the customers,
but some other customers, the environmental suture might be different.
They might see some issues and we end up adding.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Fixes for it. So those fixes, I mean I coordinate with.
Speaker 7 (33:38):
The product to incorporate all the innovations to support Anavidery.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
Okay, so let's talk about leadership. We talked about you know,
teams for a second, but we want to talk about
your leadership, how would you describe your leadership style in action?
Speaker 7 (34:00):
Well, I have demonstated sustained the start leadership across.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
The channels and yet an industry scale. I served as
a speaker.
Speaker 7 (34:12):
For a strategy technical enablement initiatives, including an m CAPS
tech Connect session as a speaker for mainly focused on
Features Ready, a CPI amasure. I presented as a keynote
speaker at multiple international conferences. I also authored UH released
(34:33):
seven as Spy technical blogs which generated almost four thousand
four artless community views, which strengthens the overall global technical
awareness and community engagement. I released the you Know New
Upcoming enhancements through my YouTube channel whenever it is needed.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
In parallel, my.
Speaker 7 (34:59):
Scholarly publication have achieved one hundred plus citations worldwide, so
reflecting sustained inflames within the broader technical community.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
I've also authored.
Speaker 7 (35:11):
Books and have applied the paid in contributed for both
customer facing and international briefings, including asual technical content. I'm
a senior member Knights Belief from the Engineering Prospective, so
I support universities whenever I receive invites from them as
(35:34):
a judge for a major I real hackathons and and
I recently did once. So collectively these efforts demonstrated my
ability to design robost scalable solutions that translate complex technical
concepts into a clear, impactful narratives. So with this said, no,
(35:56):
it applies all the diverse leadership in the nature at
an industry level.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
Aarona, you've achieved at a high level consistent I love that.
Before let you go for a person listening who wants
to step into leadership and tech, what is a principle
they must understand before they get there?
Speaker 1 (36:23):
Yeah, so this person would like to.
Speaker 7 (36:28):
Understand they need to have a consistent teme across the work.
What they're building, whether it is capable at scale, they
need to understand the roots behind it. So they need
to understand the current pain points and as well as
the is there any innovation that they can apply on
(36:50):
a broader range which can repeatedly impact the business outcomes
and it will also provide the combination of you know,
I mean basically they have to look into a broader
range whether.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
The what whatever they're.
Speaker 7 (37:11):
Doing from their skilling level, whether it is fulfilling.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
All the factors and applying the process permits or not.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
Right well, where can our listeners connect with you on
the internet and find out information about what you do?
Speaker 1 (37:30):
Yeah, is open for everyone.
Speaker 7 (37:34):
When the type seems my ination will be visible so
they can try to reach out to me for any
instance or mentorship.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
But yeah, all.
Speaker 3 (37:46):
Right, all right, well guys, that right there is what
leadership looks like when it's built on clarity, when it's
built on execution and purpose. Make sure you connect with

Speaker 7 (05:13):
Hello Giv Thank you for giving the opportunity.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Absolutely, we are so excited to have you with us

just kick off things, how would you like me to address.
Speaker 7 (05:34):
And I can call me an Rada or carnam or
on a shot cut, they can even call me Anna.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
That sounds good, all.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Right, sounds good to me. So beyond your titles and
your work, what has been on your heart and mind
lately as someone operating at this level of global impact?
Speaker 7 (05:58):
Yeah, and as into the technical leadership you know, you know,
I will. I must seasonal technology executive on a high
high level tire.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Rights which is called mission critical operations at Microshot. So
beyond the technical leadership.
Speaker 7 (06:16):
That I do on an extensive industry level, I bring
a strong research orientation with the peer reviewed publications mainly
development and learning scenarios alongside the technical contributions to the
Microsoft tech community. I have had you know, thousands of
(06:40):
reviews globally. I've served as a judge and I'm a
scholar with you know, multiple citations on it. I'm I
had served as a judge for major IVALA universities and
followed with other universities and other sectors. I've also authored
(07:05):
a couple of books and.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Applied for the patent.
Speaker 7 (07:10):
So as I said, I do have multiple scholarly publications
that are in place globally, which is impacting my work.
With a deep engineering grigger and applied research, you know,
not only a theatical manner. It translates to the real
world with hands on impact which shows the industry level outcomes.
(07:35):
I even recognized multiple Microsoft Industry awards for Innovation, customer impact.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
And delivery excellency.
Speaker 7 (07:44):
My academic background includes uh M b A and an
MCA in information technology with an Advanced artic level certifications
throughout the cloud and the SAP and the AI and
so on, so which shows a strong background learning along
(08:04):
with the practical implementations on the higher tire level.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Wow, and that's that's impressive. You're you are a brilliant person.
So I want to talk about the journey UH that
got you to this level. Tell us about yourself beyond
the resume, what shaped you into who you are today?
Speaker 1 (08:30):
What ship today is like? You know?
Speaker 7 (08:33):
I bring deep advertise, leading and enabling end to end
recipe landscapes, closely partnering with the customers, deeply going beyond
the cycles to optimize the entire landscapes, so beyond the
(08:55):
normal level of things. I'm a sportsperson, so I was
an atlet, so I I had a pay level gold
medal during my academic background. So so I led no
as a netflit on the state level to bring and
(09:18):
worked for multiple consulting companies as a consultant as the
previous before joining Microsoft, I've had on the spot awards
and as well as I innov innov your words throughout
the two decades of experience, along with the comprehensive reviews.
Why I've done multiple high level implementations. I've touched almost
(09:42):
all the corners of his SAP applications UH and.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Did migrated downtrenduagure.
Speaker 7 (09:49):
So the approach not only induced the scalable or resilient.
It is well governed enterprise solution that I apply, which
will have a a proper business outcome with a true
industry oil impact.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Indeed, indeed, and your work surpasses like C plus Python, JavaScript,
things of that nature that you know us common people,
well I won't say everybody recognizes, but you know the
more in tuned technology people, we understand those that kind
of terminology what drew you into technology?
Speaker 1 (10:30):
So the technology. So I had my background.
Speaker 7 (10:36):
Education into the technology, so called MCA Master of Computer Applications,
So I was recruited on with the in campus interviews
to the IT companies directly while I'm studying. Before entering
(10:58):
into IT, I was a part time faculty while I'm
studying my master's.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
So I did teaching for twel the great students for
three years after my college. So I did teach C
C plus.
Speaker 7 (11:14):
Plus Java all the even my AMCA project was the
robot technology, even before two decades back, I was started
doing the robotics.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Even the year is not into the picture.
Speaker 7 (11:27):
So yeah, so yeah, since I have the existing regular
academic background of computer science and deep expertise into the robotics,
into the Java technology and everything, I had turned into
the infimish technology with the IT companies.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
That's where I started growing.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Yeah, when did you realize you were operating at a
higher level than most people.
Speaker 7 (12:00):
I as a consultant seor consultant relief consultant overall. Whenever
a SAP religious any new applications.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Or implications or any data.
Speaker 7 (12:11):
Bases as as the nature of the learning that I have,
I used to learn and then do a certification certified
by a SAP media kid. So while I am working
with one of the consulting companies, I used to implement
as a PVOC by learning with one of the small
(12:31):
servers to make sure I.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Had and hands on experience.
Speaker 7 (12:36):
Before moving the ball into the production around me. So
that's where I got an exposure into all the SAP applications,
all the databases and the migrations, implementations and everything.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
So I still.
Speaker 7 (12:55):
I am a continuous learner. I allowed to study some thing,
to learn and innovate on a daiday basis and to
see where I can r a value and put a
more impact on the broader approach instead of just applying
to the particular solution.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
I understand. I love that. Let's talk about your your
how you operate at the global scale. So you're working
on mission critical systems. What does mission critical really mean
in your world?
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Second question?
Speaker 7 (13:36):
So the mission critical is nothing but the top fire
customers where I you.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Know, support end to end.
Speaker 7 (13:45):
So I focus established structure quickly clarifying business impact.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
I validate current.
Speaker 7 (13:53):
Customer architectures, and I apply the recovery exceumptions, align right
and owners and the separating systems from rood casts.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
So my background is.
Speaker 7 (14:06):
You know this issue leadership period with transparency and clear
imediation path. So by combining deep technical rigor with disciplaying
communication and the follow through, I help restore all the
customer service with more confidence level.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
And not only just applying.
Speaker 7 (14:28):
The fit of a fixed but to apply a cost
analysis to drive durable outcomes means the issue which is.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Coming today will not be repeated in a future.
Speaker 7 (14:40):
The industry skills that I work on a major healthcare
or retail or any other industry wide approach that I align.
I visit sites based on customer requests to review the
end to end customer landscapes on a high level. To
demonstrate the strength in the incident response, high availability and
(15:05):
disaster recovery positions, how the cluster is behaving, how it
can be failed over to the secondary when the primary
is not having the proper heartbeat. So how we can
apply the zillions to the posture, to the overall improvement,
how we can align and apply the permanent.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Fixes with the root cast.
Speaker 7 (15:29):
I always think to apply best possible solution industry solutions
to the customers on a higher tires to enable zero
business impact. That's where customers need right when the For example,
if we take one of the healthcare company, if the
service went down, it's a real world server right where
(15:50):
all the operations, all the patients, all the patients data,
all the requests will go down, so which impacts the
wider us a car where which we don't want it
to go into that trout. So to apply the precautions upfront.
We do this as proper estments to make sure everything
(16:12):
the trust environment is stable if in case, during some
time some outages happen, the primary primary server is having
a secondary node which can fail over secondary as a primary.
For example, if primary and secondary goes down, do we
have a disaster recovery system that can take over.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
So all these.
Speaker 7 (16:33):
Cluster mechanisms validation on the clouds, which is the proper
you know, scalable beyond the individual customers, they're using broader
availability gains and long term.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Operational value which will due to the customer.
Speaker 7 (16:52):
They might be having a couple of uh, you know,
you know, a couple of amounts that they need to
pay for a content appearly contact. But if the server
goes down, it's not only the number wise, but it
impacts the patients. For example, if we take the healthcare,
it impact the entire patients portal. If it take the retail,
(17:13):
if it impacts the entire retail operations, so if it
impacts the banking sector, if it impacts everything, all the transactions,
so even you see the on the industry wide. No,
none of the customers want.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Their server to be down right. It should be operational
to devour by seven.
Speaker 7 (17:33):
So if if the server is business be very critical,
which need high level visibility with all the operations to
be created end to end.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
That's called mission critical service.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
I see, I see. Now I'm a technical guy, but
not to technical, and I can explain when there was
Windows XP that system could go down, I could fix it,
no problems. But I slowly started to notice once Windows ten,
(18:09):
right at nine ten, I begin to notice my documents
would be on my desktop and also on my laptop,
Like how how could that be? And Microsoft was slowly
introducing us to the cloud. Now we have Windows eleven
and everything is cloud based. And if that went down,
I could not fit. I'm not the guy for that.
(18:30):
You know, my expertise level stops at Window XP and
unfortunately that's no longer a thing. But that's where you
come in, right And as you mentioned, you know healthcare.
If there's a problem of healthcare, and in my hometown,
the biggest hospital, their system went now and that forced
the nurses and doctors to go back to pen and paper.
(18:51):
Who wants to do that? It's twenty twenty six. Matter
of fact, what is pen and paper? We don't use
that anymore. But in your profession, when things like that happen,
you are the one responsible for the backup system or
to support that supports that cloud. Is that correct? Like,
how do you handle a crisis and that is a
(19:12):
major crisis when the healthcare system goes down?
Speaker 7 (19:16):
Yep, in a lament term, yes, And so I'm a
silo to operate all the industry wide sets to be
operational at the top scale to support from the back end.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Yeah, So for those who may not fully understand, how
would you explain SAP on a zoo in simple terms?
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Very good questions.
Speaker 7 (19:50):
So SAP or nasure any basically when when the.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
I mean in a simple.
Speaker 7 (19:57):
Time, if I have to say enterprise right, when any
customer wanted to have multiple branches. For example, if you
have a small branch, you can operate end to end, all.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
The financial transactions and all the.
Speaker 7 (20:15):
You know, invoices, all the inventory, all the materials, all
the supply chain you handled by your own if you
have one single company. But if you have a multiple
branches in a broader scale, it's not one person that
can manage.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Right. Let's call an enterprise.
Speaker 7 (20:35):
So sapnazure is sitting on Azure is a cloud is ornament.
SAP is is an enterprise customers that we have which
financially hosted and operated on a Microsoft Azure combining a
SAP reliability with cloud stability, scalability and resiliency. So you
(20:58):
need a SAP application in a if you wanted to
explain in a simple term, azure means running a SAP business.
Applications like any esport on a e C C b W.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
On Microsoft Azure Cloud.
Speaker 7 (21:13):
Instead of running them on their own individual silos or
on premissive servers.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
All right, and why is it so important for businesses
today to have that?
Speaker 7 (21:26):
Yeah, so we have a different applications from SAP right
car less. For HAHNA ECC b W business warehouse, we
have m DP Master Data Management which will load all
the master data UH theory which which business users can
interact with the systems and log in and create invices,
(21:47):
can certavices.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
For example, you have a warehouse right for healthcare, you
put the order for medical bills.
Speaker 7 (21:54):
So when you put the order for medical bills, how
the order be delivered to you, to the to the
local agency, right is through the warehouses. Right, so the
warehouses place the warehouses place the order through the back
end systems to automate the process for everybody, for all
(22:18):
the people to be you know, aligned, and the orders
should be in a place on a midnight order based right.
For example, you went to the hospital right now, you
have some prescriptions given to you and you went to
the pharmacy store to the evening. You need a prescription
to be ready. The pharmacy did not contain the pharmacy.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
To be ready by night.
Speaker 7 (22:44):
They said it will be available by tomorrow and will
reach out to you sometimes you will have some time
you might not have, right, So when when the when
the order is not available in the pharmacy right now
and then they say it is available tomorrow morning. How
it is reaching to the pharmacy to the early morning tomorrow, putty.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
I mean tomorrow morning.
Speaker 7 (23:04):
It's because the order is placing in the system. The
system is processing through the air house is the warehouse,
the survey.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
This goes down from the back end.
Speaker 7 (23:14):
The warehouse stops all the artists.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Oh I'm sorry, go ahead, Yeah, their house process the order.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
They ship the order to the normal.
Speaker 7 (23:29):
FORMACS in the morning, and then they call the respective
people to pick up their orders. The supply chain management
works back and forth based on this process.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
M I see, and an errata. You you've driven over
ninety seven resiliency in near zero downtime. Impressive. What separates
a stable system from a fragile one?
Speaker 7 (24:00):
Yeah, So, for example, for the large organization that run
digital systems, keep business operations every day, right, so if
we manage essential functions such as moving products through the
supply chains, or processing payments, or delivering hardware services or
(24:21):
running any factory. Everything is passing right, so we need
to carefully focus on upgrading older reliable systems and moving
them to the modern digital platforms that they are safer,
more dependable, and able to support the business.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Around the world.
Speaker 7 (24:40):
So the field is critically important because many hospitals to
manufacturers rely on these systems on the cloud to operate
NonStop day to day night operations. If these systems stopped
working even for a short time, it can cause serious
financial losses, struct essential services.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Or put public safety at risks.
Speaker 7 (25:04):
So I'm expert on helping to preventing these problems by
ensuring the systems are built to stay running under all conditions.
In in any practical terms, my work allows business to
complete everyday activities like taking customer orders, paying employees, managing
(25:25):
into wintry.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Delivering service without interruption.
Speaker 7 (25:28):
So to protecting the organizations from threats such as cyber attacks,
system breakdowns on shutten, increases in customer demands. Kind of
designing the systems and recovering quickly from problems and growing
business has expand and also helps the organization's main stable
and unreliable over the time.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Right, Right, So I professionally believe this a system is
only as good as the foundation or the infrastructure, infrastructure
or what we call support. Right. If the system is strong,
the support must be strong as well. And I'm sure
(26:13):
that you have one of those mindsets that is keen
or that is required when you're building a reliable support
system at scale because you're dealing with fortune companies. Then
we get to the team, and I also believe professionally
that a team is only as good as their leader.
So how do you move your teams from being reactive
(26:36):
proactive when they're thinking?
Speaker 7 (26:41):
Yeah, so when moving from the REACTU to proactive, so
you need to understand what the terminology is about, right,
So reactive is something then the instinct and service is
going down. Applying the success, understanding the problem, applying the
sixes within a few seconds or a few minutes is
(27:04):
really important.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
The main reason is.
Speaker 7 (27:10):
It is real it is impacting on a wider range, right,
So when when it is impacting on a wider range
across the initiatives, the focus has to continue consistently been
on moving operations from reactive support the productive reliability engineering,
which means how we can apply the fixes, how we
(27:32):
can prevent the regular operation.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Issues under reactive approach.
Speaker 7 (27:38):
So all reactive is under instant management, applying fixes, applying
permanent root cosset solution.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
So so when when the operation is slowly moving.
Speaker 7 (27:53):
From reactive to proact, which means if the system is stable,
if they're not having any issues, if the environment configuration
is up to date. As for the industry, then they
think about the innovation, how they can provide innovations and
apply innovations to more you know more more applying into
(28:16):
a delivery to a sustained reliability model, how they can
reduce the operational risks risk and how they can improve
the tangible business outcome. So all these things bill comes
under the proactive like improving expanding the business, adding extra branches,
all these kind of things under priactive and improving the
(28:40):
overall resiliency there applying the boundaries of strong security. So
I contribute to delivering nineteen nine point ninety percent availability,
nineteen nine point nine percent availability for recape customers on
azure really see customer conference signature as a physical interprise
(29:03):
rate platform on the.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Industry level, so that me if the customer.
Speaker 7 (29:08):
Is a stable and they know my system is stable,
my operations are going smooth. Then they think about how
can I expand, how can I innov it? How can
I find you in the landscape, So they think about
the further expand that's called under proact.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
Right. Uh, you've created a an AI driven pacemaker validation tool.
That's really cool. What problem were you trying to solve?
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Mhm yeah, good questions.
Speaker 7 (29:43):
It is a strong example of the approach its maker
configuration validations.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
The main reason is.
Speaker 7 (29:52):
Whoever whatever the customer that they're implementing or migrating from
on proNT to azure. Not everybody's strongly experienced or having
their depth technical knowledge into it. Right while migrating, they
might not apply proper configuration parameters to find tune their environment.
So it's the configuration of the parameters or not up
(30:14):
to do the or they're not.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Properly set which will lead to the system failures.
Speaker 7 (30:20):
So in order to test the customer environments on a
one shot, I invented or validated the AI tool that
initiated in response to reducing USIONE critical customer incidents.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
So the AI tool has.
Speaker 7 (30:37):
The golden template inside the seed based on different architectures,
scale up, scale out, zoo z, Linux, red Hat, So
it depends on the customer if it is a native
Hannah or whatever the application that they're using, any kind
of fish.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Maker cluster based on their architecture.
Speaker 7 (30:55):
The concept was developed and validated to the hackert on
collaboration with the teams.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Since it's been.
Speaker 7 (31:02):
Tested globally across all the Microsoft A City customer scenarios,
which includes all our factors.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Of use cases.
Speaker 7 (31:11):
The work reflects how I approach innovation, start with a
real customer problem to the collaborative approach broadly and the
build repeatable solutions that can scale at an industry level
to deliver global customer value.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
And you've worked across multiple multiple teams globally, tell me
about a time you enabled others or built readiness.
Speaker 7 (31:42):
Yeah, I on a day to day's environment. So I'm
leading worldwide center epicscellency and global readiness track for a recipe.
So the cross functional collaboration is one of my strongest
areas serious tribe bringing together the end caps. I am
(32:04):
the tech connect and CAPS speaker for all the SAP labs,
with all interacting with the product team, improving the tools,
applying the innovations, amending the issue correction with all other
stakeholders to design and deliver.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
With AIU workshop.
Speaker 7 (32:29):
It contributes to the structure feedback from live deliveries back
to the product, engagering teams to improve the overall context
quality and the field readiness. So I see, the collaboration
is more than the coordination. It means aligning technical depth,
customer value, customer feedbacks different industries, giving the feed to
(32:51):
the product team for the execution, applying the success so
that everyone moves towards the same outcome of improving the
overall toolings on the product side, not to better resist
the overall customers on the industry wide.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
See where do most teams struggle?
Speaker 7 (33:15):
Yeah, I mean it's not a struggle. I would say
sometimes the tool might be worked for one of the customers,
but some other customers, the environmental suture might be different.
They might see some issues and we end up adding.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Fixes for it. So those fixes, I mean I coordinate with.
Speaker 7 (33:38):
The product to incorporate all the innovations to support Anavidery.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
Okay, so let's talk about leadership. We talked about you know,
teams for a second, but we want to talk about
your leadership, how would you describe your leadership style in action?
Speaker 7 (34:00):
Well, I have demonstated sustained the start leadership across.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
The channels and yet an industry scale. I served as
a speaker.
Speaker 7 (34:12):
For a strategy technical enablement initiatives, including an m CAPS
tech Connect session as a speaker for mainly focused on
Features Ready, a CPI amasure. I presented as a keynote
speaker at multiple international conferences. I also authored UH released
(34:33):
seven as Spy technical blogs which generated almost four thousand
four artless community views, which strengthens the overall global technical
awareness and community engagement. I released the you Know New
Upcoming enhancements through my YouTube channel whenever it is needed.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
In parallel, my.
Speaker 7 (34:59):
Scholarly publication have achieved one hundred plus citations worldwide, so
reflecting sustained inflames within the broader technical community.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
I've also authored.
Speaker 7 (35:11):
Books and have applied the paid in contributed for both
customer facing and international briefings, including asual technical content. I'm
a senior member Knights Belief from the Engineering Prospective, so
I support universities whenever I receive invites from them as
(35:34):
a judge for a major I real hackathons and and
I recently did once. So collectively these efforts demonstrated my
ability to design robost scalable solutions that translate complex technical
concepts into a clear, impactful narratives. So with this said, no,
(35:56):
it applies all the diverse leadership in the nature at
an industry level.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
Aarona, you've achieved at a high level consistent I love that.
Before let you go for a person listening who wants
to step into leadership and tech, what is a principle
they must understand before they get there?
Speaker 1 (36:23):
Yeah, so this person would like to.
Speaker 7 (36:28):
Understand they need to have a consistent teme across the work.
What they're building, whether it is capable at scale, they
need to understand the roots behind it. So they need
to understand the current pain points and as well as
the is there any innovation that they can apply on
(36:50):
a broader range which can repeatedly impact the business outcomes
and it will also provide the combination of you know,
I mean basically they have to look into a broader
range whether.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
The what whatever they're.
Speaker 7 (37:11):
Doing from their skilling level, whether it is fulfilling.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
All the factors and applying the process permits or not.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
Right well, where can our listeners connect with you on
the internet and find out information about what you do?
Speaker 1 (37:30):
Yeah, is open for everyone.
Speaker 7 (37:34):
When the type seems my ination will be visible so
they can try to reach out to me for any
instance or mentorship.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
But yeah, all.
Speaker 3 (37:46):
Right, all right, well guys, that right there is what
leadership looks like when it's built on clarity, when it's
built on execution and purpose. Make sure you connect with

Bleep! with Ana Navarro
Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
