The Dallas Databricks User Group last Thursday was a great reminder of how strong and collaborative this community continues to be.
In partnership with CG Infinity and Polestar Analytics, we brought together data leaders, engineers, and AI practitioners to share real-world perspectives on building AI-ready data platforms.
Highlights from the session included:
• Amit Kumar Jha (Databricks) kicked things off with a platform overview and practical guidance on how teams are operationalizing AI on the Lakehouse.
• Ashrit Kulkarni (CG Infinity) introduced the “AI Marketing Ops – 3Ms Framework,” showing how marketing organizations can connect experimentation to measurable business outcomes.
• Siddharth Poddar (Polestar Analytics) shared how teams can scale Revenue Growth Management (RGM) using Databricks, unified governance with Unity Catalog, and an AI-ready architecture.
Across every discussion, one theme stood out: unified data and governance in the data plane are foundational to scaling AI responsibly.
Thank you to everyone who joined, asked thoughtful questions, and contributed to the conversation. Looking forward to continuing the momentum at future Dallas Databricks User Group meetups.
