Databricks Data Intelligence Day 2025, Bangalore
Team Syren had the opportunity to attend Databricks Data Intelligence Day 2025, where vision met execution in the world of data, AI, and GenAI applications. The event brought together thought leaders, platform architects, and innovators from across the region to explore how enterprises are simplifying, scaling, and adopting AI at every stage of the lifecycle.
Representing Syren at the event were Salil Gupta (Head of Pre-Sales), Srikanth Kalaga and Balaji Selvarasu (Senior Delivery Managers), Madhu Sudhan Reddy (Lead Data Engineer), and Vinay Chavan (Data Architect).
Key Highlights
GenAI Workshop
The day began with an engaging hands-on session on Mosaic AI, where participants built and fine-tuned GenAI models using curated Delta Table datasets and Databricks-native tools.
Deep Dive into the AI Lifecycle
The event offered a look into how Databricks is streamlining the full GenAI development cycle:
- Model building with Delta-curated datasets
- Training and fine-tuning using Experiments
- Evaluation through integrated tools like MLflow
- Real-time model serving with LLaMA 4 and custom models
- Full-stack app development using Databricks Apps (Flask, Streamlit, Dash)
Product Innovations that Stood Out
- MLflow: Mature experiment tracking, registry, and deployment support
- Model Serving: Scalable, production-ready AI deployment
- Unity Catalog: End-to-end governance and data access control
- Databricks Apps: Templates to fast-track GenAI-powered application development
Collaboration & Insights
Team Syren explored new possibilities for collaboration and platform integration and engaged with key Databricks leaders, including Harpreet Bhatia (Former Senior Director and Head Partners, India and South Asia), Ashish Vohra (Databricks Director & Head of Emerging Enterprise and Startup Sales), and Ravichandan CV (Field Engineering).
Our team also connected with solution architects and platform specialists to understand real-world architecture strategies, governance models, and scalable deployment techniques.
Syren’s Take
As we continue building responsible, enterprise-ready data and AI solutions, the insights and momentum from this event strengthen our commitment to:
- Simplified developer experiences
- Scalable GenAI solutions
- Unified data governance
- Agile, application-driven delivery
The Databricks roadmap reinforces our belief: Data intelligence has become a core business priority, driving real-time decisions, smarter systems, and scalable innovation.
