About

More AI doesn’t equal more impact.The enterprises I work with aren’t short on AI tools — they’re short on architecture, adoption, and outcomes.I help CXOs, GSI partners, and founders turn AI from scattered pilots into governed, scalable, value-creating platforms — moving organizations from AI experiments to AI leverage.My work sits across four key themes:→ Enterprise AI Adoption & Transformation — AI strategy, operating model, and architecture for the Fortune 500 and India’s largest GSIs (TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Accenture, Persistent, HCLTech).→ AI Value Creation & Risk — frameworks for separating AI hype from AI leverage; governance, security, audit, and TCO for agentic AI at scale.→ AI Startup Advisory — supporting founders on PMF, GTM, and partnerships, especially at the AI × Climate intersection (energy, mobility, built environment, industrial decarbonization).→ AI Trends, Tools & Architecture — the unbundling of the AI stack, GSIs as “service-as-software” vendors, model-agnostic enterprise architectures, and what’s next.If you’re a CXO rethinking your AI strategy, a GSI rearchitecting your AI offering, or a founder building at the AI Or climate edge — let’s talk.
