Arkadiy Dobkin, executive chairman of Epam Systems, participated in the company’s Q4 2024 earnings call on February 1, 2025. He stated that the company expects 2025 to remain a challenging and transformative year for the industry, with pressure from both client cost sensitivity and a need to return to discretionary spending. Dobkin said demand for advanced AI-native and agentic software and data engineering services will increase, and that Epam is investing in training and accelerators during this technology transition. He noted that pricing pressure has persisted and expressed hope that pricing would begin to improve more visibly in 2025. In a June 2026 TEDx talk, Dobkin gave a personal account of his family’s history across generations, including his father’s birth in 1920 and his mother’s death in 2020. He discussed themes of unpredictability in the past and future, referencing a book on globalization that inspired him in 1992. Dobkin said the author was correct about industrialization and globalization but underestimated the human ingenuity that would create new businesses supported by the internet.
