LISBON, Portugal--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bedrock Data, the platform provider for DSPM, data security and governance, today announced that CTO and co-founder Pranava Adduri will deliver two presentations at Web Summit 2025. Adduri will share practical insights from his more than a decade of experience in data protection and security, with a presentation on scaling data governance in the AI era, and another addressing the critical balance between revenue growth and maintaining focus on product-market fit.

WHAT:

• The Data Echo Chamber: Governance in the AI Era – AI is accelerating data growth and traditional data governance approaches that rely on human judgment cannot keep pace. As part of the Breakout Startups showcase. Adduri will discuss the challenges of using AI to scale human judgment across the data governance lifecycle, from cataloging and classifying massive data volumes to evaluating policies and enforcing controls. Adduri will share insights on how organizations can leverage AI to securely accelerate AI innovation.
• Saying "No" is Your Best Friend for Getting to PMF – Adduri will explore one of the most challenging dilemmas facing early-stage companies: the delicate balance between iterating based on prospect feedback and market signals, while staying principled in the pursuit of product-market fit. He will discuss why turning down revenue opportunities that pull companies away from their core vision is often harder, but more critical, than simply generating revenue.
