How to build a small business roadmap, empowered by AI

In his breakout session, Javed will dive into the real opportunity behind agentic AI. Yes, there’s plenty of hype — but for good reason. As he’ll explain, agentic AI enables more proactive decision-making and faster, more efficient responses to customer concerns, business opportunities, and operational challenges.

For small businesses with limited resources, agentic AI offers significant benefits. In his session, Javed will outline how it’s already being scoped, validated, and implemented — giving you a blueprint to deploy it within your own business or those you support or fund.

What Javed brings to the table

Tkxel helps small businesses, startups, and enterprise organizations harness AI to scale. They’ve already partnered with high-profile clients like Barclays, Honeywell, NBC Universal, and Moment.AI — all with a hands-on approach championed by Javed, who brings that same focus to building teams and culture within Tkxel itself.
