Dutt Kalluri

Most digital transformation efforts fail. Not because the technology is wrong, but because leaders treat transformation as a technology project instead of a business one. Mastering Digital Transformation is the operator’s roadmap for getting it right.

Drawing on a career spent converting large, cost-heavy organizations into higher-margin, platform-driven businesses, Dutt Kalluri cuts through the hype to focus on what actually moves the needle: margin expansion, structural cost compression, and durable enterprise value. This is not a book about pilots, frameworks, or theory. It’s about execution at scale, written by an executive who has owned global P&L, led multi-billion-dollar modernization programs, eliminated nine figures of infrastructure cost, and built and exited a platform company at a 6X valuation.

Across financial services, healthcare, insurance, and technology, the same patterns separate the transformations that compound value from the ones that stall. Kalluri lays them out plainly: how to convert legacy technology into SaaS and API-driven operating models, how to lead global teams through change with full accountability, and how to align execution to what boards and investors actually expect. AI, automation, and data appear throughout, but in their proper place: as tools inside a larger operating system, not as the product.

For C-suite leaders, operators, and anyone responsible for turning disruption into advantage, this book offers a clear-eyed, accountable approach to transformation that holds up outside the conference room. Real change is measurable. This is how you produce it.
