AI adoption that starts with the work
AI adoption is not simply adding a model to an existing product. It requires a clear view of where AI can help, what the team needs to build, and how the organisation will work differently. My focus is helping teams make those decisions in the right order: connect use cases to real workflows, align product and engineering, and keep the implementation grounded in the team that will own it.
For a founder, CTO, or engineering lead searching for an AI adoption consultant in India, the useful question is not “Where can we add AI?” It is “Which change matters, and what is the responsible path to deliver it?” That is the question this work is designed to answer.
A practical adoption focus
- Find the starting point: identify the product or engineering work where AI adoption is most relevant.
- Make the path concrete: connect priorities with the infrastructure and agent capabilities the team needs.
- Keep ownership close: shape an approach that product and engineering people can understand and continue to run.
- Respect constraints: include LLM cost optimisation and delivery realities in the AI conversation from the beginning.
These focus areas connect to my related work in AI agent frameworks and AI cost optimisation. For the broader service overview, see AI Consultant.
Experience at Inc42 Media
At Inc42 Media, an AI-first approach cut shipping by roughly 80%. The work included building AI infrastructure from zero, developing in-house agent frameworks, and working on LLM cost optimisation. That experience shapes how I think about adoption: strategy should connect to delivery, infrastructure, agents, and the economics of real use.
My experience also includes Beebom (2018–2020), Clicue (2016–2018), and founding Gipcus since 2019. I have been at Inc42 since 2020. I am based in Delhi / Greater Delhi Area and work with teams across India.
Frequently asked questions
What is AI adoption strategy?
It connects useful AI use cases with the product, engineering work, infrastructure, and team habits needed to deliver them.
Do you work only with teams in Delhi?
I am based in Delhi / Greater Delhi Area and work with teams across India, remotely or on-site as appropriate.
What proof do you have of AI-first delivery?
At Inc42 Media, an AI-first approach cut shipping by roughly 80%; AI infrastructure was built from zero and in-house agent frameworks were developed.
