AI Driven Demand Forecasting & Planning | Rajesh Gangula | TEDxThaltej Salon

What if demand could be anticipated before it even emerges? This talk explores how AI is reshaping forecasting from reactive planning into proactive intelligence. It reveals how organizations can move from uncertainty to precision by turning data into foresight. Rajesh Gangula works at the intersection of enterprise systems and artificial intelligence, focusing on how traditional ERP and supply chain platforms can evolve into intelligent, data-driven ecosystems. With over 15 years of experience across global supply chain, procurement, and manufacturing environments, he has led large-scale modernization initiatives spanning multi-country operations. His work explores embedding predictive models and decision intelligence directly into enterprise workflows to improve transparency, governance, and operational resilience. An IEEE Senior Member, Rajesh contributes to thought leadership in enterprise AI and digital transformation. He is particularly interested in building explainable, scalable, and production-ready AI systems that move beyond experimentation and create measurable impact in complex organizational environments. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
