At Greyhound Research, we track global tech moves that matter—from cloud and AI to macro shifts in enterprise strategy. The Weekend Brief by Greyhound Research is our CXO-grade digest: no fluff, just crisp insights. Even if you don’t read the full notes, these summaries will sharpen your edge for the week ahead.
1. From Beanbags to Boardrooms
Greyhound Research turns 12—and we’re reflecting on what it means to stay truly independent in a vendor-saturated world. From bold calls to beagle inspiration, this note outlines why conviction-led research still matters for CXOs navigating uncertain futures.
2. Ghibli Goes Viral, So Does Your Data
Ghibli clips flooded the internet—but what about your enterprise data? We connect the dots between viral content behaviours, unsecured APIs, and data governance gaps that CXOs can’t afford to ignore.
3. The Tariffs Missed Indian IT, But the Shockwaves Won’t
Indian IT dodged the latest U.S. tariffs, but client budgets and buying cycles are already shifting. We break down how global shocks ripple into services deals—and what CXOs must do to stay ahead.
4. Bootloader Vulnerability Exposes Hidden Risk
Microsoft’s AI uncovered a threat below the OS—at the firmware level. This note explains why traditional security tools won’t catch it, and why CXOs must rethink how they define ‘secure infrastructure.’
5. Airtel’s 2Africa Cable Changes the Game
This isn’t just a cable—it’s a bandwidth power move. We unpack how Airtel’s new landing reshapes cloud latency, digital sovereignty, and India’s role in the global data economy.
6. IBM and L’Oréal: AI Gets a Makeover
A foundation model for beauty may sound niche, but it’s a bold glimpse into verticalised AI. This note explores how IBM and L’Oréal are setting a precedent for domain-specific AI that’s precise, personalised, and production-ready.
