Puneet Chandok leads Microsoft’s India and South Asia business at a time when AI is moving from executive priority to enterprise infrastructure. The company’s cloud, productivity, developer and AI tools already sit inside many Indian organizations, making its India strategy central to how businesses adopt and scale AI.

His role matters because global AI platforms are not adopted in the abstract. They enter companies through cloud contracts, developer ecosystems, productivity software, security layers and implementation partners. In India, Microsoft’s reach across enterprises, startups, developers and the public sector gives Chandok a front-row role in how AI is sold, localized and deployed.

Chandok’s inclusion reflects the platform layer of India’s AI transition, where global technology companies help shape the tools, costs and architectures through which organizations move from pilots to everyday AI use.
