Temenos’ Sai Rangachari Talks AI, Core Banking & Transformation with Leda Glyptis at TCF 2025

During an impactful TCF 2025 interview with Leda Glyptis, Sai Rangachari, Chief Product Officer from Temenos, offered his perspective on transforming core banking with embedded AI technology, audacious decision-making, and complete empathy for clients.

Sai has held leadership roles in some of the world’s major banks, startups, and technology providers like FIS, giving him a unique 360° view of the banking ecosystem, along with a front-line understanding of the challenges banks face developing new technologies (for example: legacy systems, drive for growth, increased regulatory pressure, etc) and the opportunity for tech to tackle those challenges.

Since joining Temenos, Sai has leveraged his banking background to drive an aggressive AI-first approach in core banking, to include frictionless implementation, automation of SDLC, and co-pilot embedded AI models. As explained in his chat with Leda, the power comes from listening to banks’ end goals—not features—to better prioritize effectively and drive real transformation.

Sai also included Temenos’ approach to building and implementing an AI-powered banking template to help banks go from seven-day loan processing to a true instant AI experience. Sai emphasized Temenos’ user community critical to innovation through continuous client feedback.

Sai’s message: transformation will never be one-size-fits-all. With a brave vision, embedded intelligence, and the capacity to listen, banks can be speedy.
