Anubhav Midha — Sammamish, WA
A trusted voice on AI, Telecommunications, and the future of the Intelligence Economy.
25+ years of leadership across Cisco, Nokia, Oracle, Ericsson and HCLTech — writing on AI-native networks, 5G-Advanced, 6G, autonomous operations and the era in which intelligence becomes infrastructure.
The Intelligence Economy
Intelligence is becoming a foundational infrastructure — reshaping industries, economies, and how people meet technology.
Trusted Experience
Two and a half decades, inside the companies building the network.
From core infrastructure to cloud-native platforms, Anubhav has led programs with the vendors and operators shaping global telecommunications. The work has always been the same: helping large, complex organizations turn ambitious technology into measurable business outcomes.

Professional Journey
A career shaped by the networks that carry the world.
Not a résumé — a working narrative of the arc that took a young telecom engineer into the executive rooms where AI, cloud and the network are now being redrawn together.
Two decades embedded in the telecommunications industry, building deep operational fluency across the global operator landscape and the vendors that serve it.
Leadership roles at Cisco, Nokia, Oracle, Ericsson and HCLTech — partnering with tier-one operators on complex, multi-year transformation programs.
Focus turns to the collision of AI and network infrastructure: AI-RAN, autonomous operations, cloud-native cores, and the platforms underneath them.
Writing, advising and speaking on the emerging era in which intelligence itself becomes an infrastructure layer — reshaping industries far beyond telecom.
Speaking & Advisory
Working with leaders on the questions that matter next.
Selective engagements with operators, vendors, investors and industry stages — always grounded in the operational reality of running networks and businesses at scale.
Keynotes
AI-native networks, the road to 6G, and how the Intelligence Economy reshapes the operator business model.
Advisory
Board and executive advisory for operators, vendors and investors navigating AI, cloud and network transformation.
Workshops
Executive workshops on autonomous operations, platform strategy, and building organizations that can absorb AI.
Collaboration
Selective consulting engagements with leadership teams tackling ambitious modernization or GTM challenges.
Leadership Philosophy
Great technology succeeds when it creates real business outcomes and improves people's lives.
My work sits at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence, telecommunications, cloud and next-generation networks. I believe we are entering a new era in which intelligence becomes a foundational infrastructure — reshaping industries, economies, and the way people interact with technology.
I write to simplify complex technologies, to connect ideas across industries, and to help business and technology leaders understand not only where the industry is today, but where it is heading.
Beyond the technology, I care about mentoring, continuous learning, and the people solving meaningful problems. If any of that resonates, I'd be glad to hear from you.
