Agentic AI is not AI that replaces your agency — it is AI that amplifies it. Andy shows leaders how to use technology as a tool for generational impact, not just efficiency.
“When we combine agentic AI with purpose-driven leadership, we transform technology from a force of disruption into a tool for generational impact.”
— Andy Bhattacharya
Anirban ‘Andy’ Bhattacharya is a TEDx speaker, entrepreneur, and educator who works at the intersection of innovation, sustainability, and digital transformation. He is the founder of Amplo Global Inc. and is based in Metuchen, NJ.
His TEDx talk, “Purposeful Leadership in the Age of AI,” delivered in 2023, reached a global audience through the TEDx platform.

Andy has also served as a faculty guest lecturer at Columbia, NYU Stern, and other leading business schools on digital transformation, entrepreneurship, and social impact. His sessions blend actionable storytelling, academic insight, and industry leadership — equipping organizations to move from inspired vision to implementation.
The question is not whether AI will change your organization. The question is whether you will shape how it does — or let it happen to you.
Agentic AI acts as a partner in decision-making, not just a tool for automation. Andy shows leaders how to build AI systems that amplify human judgment rather than replace it.
Technology without purpose creates efficiency without direction. Andy’s framework ensures AI adoption is anchored to organizational values, legacy, and long-term impact.
America’s greatest strength has always been its capacity to shape its own future. Andy connects that tradition of self-determination to the AI moment — turning legacy into a launchpad for the next 250 years.
Andy Bhattacharya and John Chmela deliver a tandem keynote built around one of the most important distinctions in the AI conversation: the difference between AI that replaces human agency and AI that amplifies it. Andy's framework — 'agentic AI' as a partner in decision-making, not just a tool — gives audiences a new lens for purposeful leadership. John connects that directly to the practical: how do you actually build AI systems that act as trusted partners, not generic assistants? Together they give audiences both the philosophical clarity and the implementation roadmap for leading with purpose in the AI age.
Corporate leadership teams navigating AI adoption; sustainability and ESG-focused organizations; supply chain and operations conferences; entrepreneurship and innovation programs; university business schools; organizations connecting America's legacy of agency and self-determination to the AI moment.
