Cloud adoption promised scalability, agility, and cost efficiency.
But today, many enterprises are facing a different reality—rising cloud bills, unclear ownership, and massive cloud waste.
In this episode of FUTURE FORWARD, we break down one of the most critical yet misunderstood domains in enterprise tech today: Cloud Governance & FinOps.
Hosted by Abhishek Srivastava, Founder & CEO of Techcanvass, this discussion features Naval Kush, Cloud Governance Manager at Amdocs, a LinkedIn Top Voice known for his thought leadership across multi-cloud governance, FinOps, and enterprise cloud transformation.
Together, they unpack why 25–35% of global cloud spend is often wasted—and why the solution isn’t just cost-cutting, but structured, shared accountability across engineering, finance, and business teams.
Cloud billing today is dynamic, decentralized, and consumption-based. That means traditional budgeting models no longer work. This episode explains how FinOps evolved, why it’s not “owned” by one team, and how Business Analysts can play a strategic role in controlling cloud costs without hurting performance or innovation.
Going beyond surface-level cloud dashboards, the conversation explores real-world examples—from storage lifecycle automation that saved 18% annually, to the balance between AI-driven optimization and AI-driven overspending.

Many candidates struggle in Product Management interviews—not due to a lack of capability, but because they don’t fully understand what interviewers are actually assessing. In this episode of FUTURE FORWARD, we unpack the most common Product Management interview questions and explain how they are used to evaluate product thinking, problem-solving ability, and decision-making skills.
Hosted by Abhishek Srivastava, Founder & CEO of Techcanvass, this discussion features Roopa Krishnamoorthi, Operations & Product Leader, and Abhilasha Pandey, Program & Product Management Leader. Together, they share how interviewers assess product thinking beyond surface-level or rehearsed responses.
Product Management interviews are designed to test strategic thinking and a candidate’s approach to solving complex user and business problems. Success requires clarity in product sense, structured problem-solving, and strong behavioural responses—and that’s exactly what this episode breaks down.
Going beyond standard interview frameworks, the conversation highlights why jumping straight to solutions can be a red flag, and why problem-first thinking, adaptability, and versatility matter far more than polished answers.
