For American technology powerhouse Dell, 2025 has been a non-stop year of innovating for enterprises, and its not slowing down. No longer is AI a futuristic concept—it is now being touted as the most pivotal transformation since electricity. Towards this end, Dell’s latest AI advancements— from groundbreaking AI PCs to cutting-edge data centre solutions—are being designed to help organisations of every size to seamlessly adopt AI, drive faster insights, improve efficiency and accelerate their growth.
Not only that, Dell Technologies is all set to usher in a future in which AI workloads will not be siloed in data centres or the cloud but created and processed at the edge and on-premises. In his keynote address at the Dell Technologies World 2025 annual flagship event held at Las Vegas in the US, Michael Dell, founder, chairman and CEO of the American tech behemoth announced that within the next two years 85% of enterprises plan to move generative AI workloads on-premises.
“AI will follow data and not the other way round,” the 60-year old billionaire industrialist told an enraptured audience at the conference. The Dell chairman shared his vision of the future of AI which, he gushed “would be decentralised, low latency and hyper efficient which is why Dell is pioneering the edge AI revolution, bringing real-time intelligence to wherever data lives.” As a run-up to the edge AI revolution, Dell Technologies is already engaged in equipping the largest AI deployments on the planet with its server and storage arrays. “We’re creating a future where intelligence amplifies human potential at a massive scale,” he remarked.
Dell’s keynote didn’t just focus on potential—it showcased the tangible impact of AI today. Larry Feinsmith, head of Global Technology Strategy at JPMorgan Chase, described how the bank is undergoing a massive data-driven transformation. With data now seen as a “first-class asset,” JPMorgan is leveraging AI to reimagine how business processes are run, creating efficiencies and enhancing service delivery across its 300,000+ global workforce. Seemantini Godbole, chief digital and information officer at Lowe’s, spoke of a transformation grounded in both vision and execution. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang called AI the most significant platform shift of his lifetime.
On Dell’s India-specific plans, Alok Ohrie, president and managing director of Dell Technologies India, said, “India is a crucial market for Dell Technologies, both in its current size and future growth potential. The impact of digitisation on businesses, specifically the ones reliant on technology, underscores the immense opportunities in the country. With a large number of enterprises, small and midsize businesses, and homegrown businesses, India presents a substantial addressable market for technology solutions.”
Making a strong pitch for adoption of AI by India, Ohrie opined, “As India charts its ambitious digital future, it can pivot to the top-end of the value chain by adopting a unique axis of development that prioritises investments in the nation’s growth engines, spanning sectors like BFSI, ITeS, healthcare, education, defence and manufacturing, and global capability centres.” He also emphasised the need for industries and organisations “to work on building AI into their process and take advantage of the fact that a machine can look at more data with higher accuracy and consistency than a human possibly could.”
