Aaman Lamba
Senior Industry Principal at Infosys
Data Economy Leader & Data Consulting Lead for Retail, CPG, Logistics, Financial Services
Helping define the future of Connected Data in the Data Economy, I am currently leading Data and Analytics Consulting for Retail, CPG and Logistics, Financial Services and Banks, delivering value through global vision and strategic scope, I am focused on defining the connected ecosystem for the global data economy, transcending industry boundaries.

I have served as a bridge between business and technology for a while now, particularly in the realm of customer-facing business operations. From being a program manager and helping build a CRM product that took me places, including a small company called Google, to defining the future of networking companies, insurance giants, world retailers,  and banks. Along the way, I learnt what makes a company or an individual better than just a flash in the pan, and applied what I learned.

To put it differently, I act as a rationalizing agent, enabling propagation of institutional isomorphism, especially in the realm of information management

I have been able to align my customer-focus with my other passion - writing. Desicritics was a key step in my quest for making a visible difference in the world through being connected. I have written books and am working on additional ones.

I aspire to be a key player in the global society we are all creating, through helping define solutions for problems, and also through connecting ideas with needs.

I have an insatiable appetite for information and making connections between people, ideas, innovation.

Specialties: consulting, client coordination, Data Governance MDM, graph Databases, strategy, CRM, writing, solution architect, business transformation, Retail and CPG, Financial Services, Banking Solutions

Artistic Preferences: Pop Art, the Cave Paintings, Modernism, the Long Novel of television, the great Masters of the Renaissance, Holistic solutions

Great French Occult Romances is an illustrated anthology of original translations by Aaman Lamba of works by noted French authors.
Great French Occult Romances
Aaman Lamba
https://amzn.to/38W2jyv
A stunning collection of poems on various themes. The Odontiad is a 32-sonnet sequence, initially about the quotidian concept of tooth decay, which expanded to express the nature of decay and collapse in general, and a lens through which I could communicate these unusual 'shut-in times'. The poems express themes from the nature of memory, reality and one's life, with a gnostic perspective.
