We had an incredible week at NRF 2026, Retail's Big Show at the Big Apple! Day 1 kicked off at the Microsoft booth with Irina Feygin from PepsiCo and Sethuraman Janardhanan, PhD from Tiger Analytics showcasing PepsiCo's groundbreaking data transformation journey. In a year where NRF has shifted focus from AI hype to "AI as the Real Deal," the presentation demonstrated how PepsiCo built the largest-ever Data Blueprint to enable Agentic Intelligence.
A little extra cheer this season: Our AI for Good initiative has been named Most Impactful Social Welfare Initiative of the Year (AI-Driven Technology), 2025. This recognition belongs to our #TigerTribe volunteers who take their technical expertise beyond business problems to strengthen healthcare delivery, enable daily nutrition programs, and support education and sustainability efforts across India and beyond. It's a meaningful milestone that reinforces our core belief - when AI is applied responsibly and with clear purpose, it can create an impact that lasts.

Tiger Analytics has been awarded the Microsoft Security Designation. What this reflects is the work our teams do every day with clients who are navigating real security questions, how to protect sensitive data, how to modernize security operations without disruption, and how to build systems that hold up as scale and complexity increase. This designation strengthens how we work with Microsoft’s security stack to support those goals.
As AI becomes more autonomous and embedded in decisions, the real work moves beyond just deployment. It’s the foundations that determine whether outcomes actually scale. This reality was central to the Databricks Partner Day 2025 at our Chennai office with Bryan Smith, Global Head, Industry Solutions for Consumer Industries, Databricks. Hosting Bryan gave us space for the kind of conversation that only happens when both partners are building toward the same future. Bryan connected where the Databricks platform is headed with what we’re seeing across consumer industries - the gaps, the pressure points, and the opportunities that demand sharper execution in 2026.
Las Vegas is always loud, but the conversations that shaped AWS re:Invent this year were louder. The #TigerTribe connected with industry leaders and technology partners, exchanging perspectives on how AI and cloud capabilities are evolving for enterprises. Great to see the ecosystem aligning. We are excited to keep pushing the boundaries of what these technologies can deliver. Here are a few glimpses from our time at the event.
Data is coming at businesses from every direction—different systems, teams, and markets—and having the right foundation can make all the difference. Tiger’s renewed Snowflake Elite Service Partner status, along with our role as a Snowflake Intelligence launch partner, means our clients can harness AI-powered insights directly within their data workflows—enabling faster, more informed action across Retail & Consumer Goods, Financial Services, and Manufacturing & Industrial. Thanks to our Snowflake partners for the collaboration and to the #TigerTribe for building the capabilities that make this possible.
Tiger Analytics has achieved the AWS DevOps Competency status. For us, this milestone reflects the deep work our engineering teams put into creating seamless, automated, and secure environments for our clients. It’s a significant step forward in our partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and, more importantly, in our mission to help businesses deploy full-stack AI solutions that actually work in the real world.
Tiger Analytics has earned the prestigious Snowflake Manufacturing Specialization badge, recognizing the work our teams have put into helping customers leverage the Snowflake Data Cloud. This recognition highlights the trust clients place in us to understand their environments and enable them to accelerate their data and AI initiatives without interrupting their existing operations.
Two days at the Global Pricing & Revenue Growth Summit in London were all about how quickly the pricing landscape is shifting and how central AI has become to that evolution. Saikat Sen from Tiger co-hosted a keynote with Wendy Janssen from Mars on “Pricing Beyond Limits: Agentic AI and the Next Era of RGM.” They explored the five classical RGM challenges, why agile monetization is emerging as the new growth playbook, and how Agentic AI is accelerating pricing transformation. We also had Tiger’s Zahid Hossain lead a practical, insightful panel on “Start Your AI & ML-Powered Pricing Journey.” It focused on what AI & ML genuinely mean for pricing teams today, the real-world use cases, and the do’s and don’ts for teams taking their first steps. The conversations emphasized that pricing is no longer just a function; it’s becoming an AI-enabled capability. Here’s a glimpse of the event.
