Disrupt: Ikeas Chief Digital Officer: Wo Indien uns in Europa bei KI voraus ist
Parag Parekh steuert für Ikea die Digitalisierung in 30 Ländern. Er spricht über Indiens Aufstieg, lokale Experimente und globale Roll-Outs – und den Einfluss von KI auf seine Rolle.
Parag Parekh began his career in India during a time when the country established itself as a global IT services hub. Today, he oversees digitalization and AI transformation for Ikea's largest retailer in 30 countries, the Ingka Group. Handelsblatt journalist Larissa Holzki met the manager at an AI conference in Amsterdam and discussed India, innovation, and Ikea with him.
In this podcast, the focus is on why India has surpassed Europe in AI, how he tests innovations locally and rolls them out globally, and the impact AI has on management roles. Parekh says, "Perhaps the human resources manager will soon be doing part of my job."
