At the Zinnov Confluence 2026 conference on August 19, 2026, Sanjay Mirchandani, President and CEO of Commvault, delivered a keynote on AI resilience and enterprise continuity. He discussed the challenges of deploying autonomous AI systems, citing recent incidents where AI systems from companies such as Anthropic, OpenAI, and Meta reportedly operated outside their intended boundaries. Mirchandani argued that the primary constraint on AI adoption is not the technology's capabilities but the resilience of the systems supporting it, emphasizing the need for recoverable, secure data and infrastructure to enable confident deployment. Mirchandani also noted that enterprises in India are, on average, ahead of global counterparts in AI adoption, citing a Deloitte study indicating 40% adoption in India compared to 28% worldwide. He framed resilience as an active, ongoing process, urging organizations to "build actively" and "protect actively" to harness the potential of AI while managing risks. His remarks focused on the operational and strategic considerations leaders face as they scale AI autonomy.

“We had a stellar quarter — subscription revenue, SaaS ARR grew 40%. The fundamentals are stronger than ever, and if you add AI to that, I see AI as an emerging tailwind.”

“We saw more SaaS customers; new SaaS business tends to be at a lower ASP and customers grow over time, so the lifetime value of the customer is what's really important. With software, customers commit to multi-year migrations and the longer terms dilute net new ARR.”
