  EP5: Air Conditioning to AI: Inside Carrier’s GCC Playbook Across India, China & Mexico

  Jul 10, 20261h 18m

  Nearly 9 in 10 American homes have AC. In Europe? Just 2 in 10. Then came the hottest summer in recorded history…Europe is burning through another brutal summer. Heatwaves. 40°C+ days. Rising cooling demand. Cities, homes, factories and supply chains all asking the same question: How do we cool a warming world - intelligently, sustainably and at scale? That is exactly why Episode 5 of our GCC Mini-Series on The Innovators & Disruptors Podcast feels so timely. Air Conditioning to AI: Inside Carrier’s GCC Playbook Across India, China & Mexico In this episode, I host Kamal Sharma, Leader Global Connected Hubs (India, China, Mexico) & CIO Climate Solutions AME at Carrier, one of the most iconic companies in the world of climate and cooling solutions as well as Subu Rao, Founder and CEO of Discover Dollar as a special guest in the last segment. Carrier is a company many of us associate with air conditioning. But the bigger story today is far more fascinating. It is about how a global climate-tech leader is building capability across India, China and Mexico across engineering, digital, AI, talent, culture, innovation and global execution. As European summers get hotter and cooling becomes more essential, the future of air conditioning will not just be about machines. It will be about intelligence. It will be about sustainability. It will be about global capability. It will be about AI. And a big part of that future may be built from GCCs. Watch the episode now.
