Agentic Commerce and the Future of Payments with Visa’s Director of Product Prateek Khamesra

Payments may look simple — tap, swipe, click — but behind every transaction is a highly orchestrated system designed for scale, stability, and security. Prateek Khamesra, Director of Product at Visa, unpacks how innovation actually happens inside one of the world’s most critical financial infrastructures. We explore the technologies shaping the next wave of commerce — from agentic commerce and data-to-data transactions to blockchain, tokenization, stablecoins, and crypto — and what these shifts mean for enterprises operating in highly regulated environments. Prateek also shares how large organizations evaluate emerging technology and startup partnerships: Does it solve a real pain point? Can it scale globally? And how easily can it integrate into complex enterprise systems? For corporate strategy, innovation, and R&D leaders navigating disruption, this conversation offers a practical look at how to innovate responsibly — without compromising trust.
