The Missing Middle Between
AI Policy and Practice

AI governance is not a policy document — it is the missing middle between national intent and what enterprises actually deploy. Bobby Varanasi works precisely in that gap, at national-standards level.

Bobby Varanasi is Mahat Advisory's Sectoral Partner for AI Ethics & Governance — the credibility layer that lets Mahat's service partners deliver into regulated, AI-sensitive environments. He chairs the AI Ethics & Governance Group within the AI Task Force at the Malaysian Technical Standards Forum Bhd, operating under the Malaysian Communications & Multimedia Commission, developing the national technical codes that sit between AI policy and sector solutions.

His standing is built over decades. He is Founder & CEO of Regenerative Futures, spent seventeen years as Founder and CEO of Matryzel Consulting — one of the world's top-20 global sourcing advisory firms — and works across ICT, telecoms, financial services and sustainable development at board and government level.
