Manas Agrawal

Chief Business Officer | Head of Data & AI @ NuSummit

About

As Chief Business Officer, Data & AI at NuSummit, I’m leading the charge to help enterprises harness the full potential of Data and Generative AI — responsibly, strategically, and at scale. My focus is on orchestrating measurable transformation by aligning business strategy with data intelligence. At NuSummit, I work with global leaders across BFSI, Manufacturing, HiTech, and other industries to design and deploy AI strategies that deliver real-world outcomes — not just proofs of concept. I lead a team of exceptional professionals driving innovation across: • AI strategy and execution that embed responsibility and governance from day one. • End-to-end Data & AI solutions — from robust data architecture to production-grade GenAI adoption. • Service models that ensure speed-to-market and measurable business value for every client engagement. Before joining NuSummit, I spent over a decade building and scaling enterprise Data & AI ventures — as Co-Founder & CEO of Affine.ai (2011–2024) and conceptualizer of Origamis, a GenAI orchestration firm helping large organizations deploy domain-specific AI agents without vendor lock-in. That entrepreneurial journey continues here — only at greater scale. I’m passionate about building high-performance teams, forging lasting client relationships, and enabling organizations to reimagine their digital future — intelligently, ethically, and with speed.
