Meet the Deputy Group CTO of Capgemini. An Exploratory Conversation — Curated for 10 AI Startups Only.

A closed-door morning with Sudhir Pai, Deputy Group CTO at Capgemini, hosted by Foundership in Bengaluru — an exploratory conversation on potential Systems Integrator (SI) collaboration for startups ready to serve enterprise customers in the UK and France.

The Opportunity
Capgemini is one of the world’s largest Systems Integrators, embedded in the technology stacks of Fortune 500 enterprises across Europe. 

Sudhir Pai, Deputy Group CTO, is visiting Bengaluru and has set aside a few hours to meet a small, hand-picked group of AI-native startups — not for a pitch competition, not for a panel, but for a genuine, exploratory conversation on potential collaboration.

If your startup is solving for enterprise AI scale, cybersecurity, control planes, semantic intelligence, digital twins, generative engine optimisation, sovereignty, AI-native agentic architectures, legacy modernisation, or intelligent operations — and you’re open to expanding into UK and France enterprise accounts through an SI channel — this is built for you.

What This Is
• An intimate, invite-only meetup — max 10 startups
• 2–3 hours of direct, unstructured access to Sudhir Pai over greet and lunch
• A genuine exploration of SI partnership — not a showcase, not a demo day
• Hosted and curated by Foundership

What This Is Not
• Not open registration — every applicant is reviewed and approved
• Not a pitch deck marathon — come ready to have a conversation, not present slides
• Not for startups unwilling or unable to serve UK/France enterprise clients

Who Should Apply
Founders (ideally CEO/CTO) of AI-native startups working in one or more of:
• Enterprise AI at scale
• Cybersecurity
• Control planes
• Semantic intelligence
• Digital twins
• Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO)
• Sovereignty (data/AI sovereignty)
• AI-native agentic stack/architecture
• Legacy modernisation
• Intelligent operations using AI
