Who I work with
Founders, CTOs, and engineering leads in India who want AI in production — not slide decks. If you need an AI Consultant in Delhi or across India who has shipped AI systems inside a media product organisation, we should talk.
Engagements stay practical: which workflows to automate first, how to run agents safely, and how to keep LLM spend predictable.
AI consulting services
Four focus areas. Use them as standalone projects or as a sequenced roadmap.
AI adoption strategy
Map where AI creates leverage in your product and ops. Prioritise use cases, define success metrics, and design a rollout that your team can own.
AI infrastructure & agent frameworks
Design and build the foundations: model access, tooling, evaluation, and in-house agent frameworks that fit your stack — not a one-size SaaS bolt-on.
AI cost optimisation
Cut waste on LLM calls without gutting quality. Routing, caching, prompt and model selection, and usage visibility so finance and engineering see the same numbers.
AI-native team enablement
Upskill engineers and PMs to ship AI features themselves. Playbooks, review habits, and guardrails so the capability stays in-house after the engagement.
Results at Inc42
At Inc42 Media I led an AI-first approach that cut shipping time by roughly 80%. That meant building AI infrastructure from zero, developing in-house agent frameworks, and running ongoing LLM cost optimisation — not buying a black-box tool and hoping.
The same patterns transfer: start with real workflows, instrument early, and keep humans in the loop where judgment matters.

Frequently asked questions
What does an AI consultant in Delhi typically help with?
Most teams need help choosing use cases, standing up AI infrastructure, introducing agent workflows, and controlling LLM spend. That is the core of my AI Consultant Delhi practice — strategy through enablement, not tool sales.
Do you work only with companies in Delhi?
I am based in Delhi / Greater Delhi Area and work with teams across India, on-site or remote. Location matters less than clear goals and a team ready to ship.
How is this different from hiring an AI agency?
You work with me directly. The engagement is grounded in how I have built AI systems at Inc42 — agent frameworks, cost controls, and team habits — so knowledge stays with your engineers.
What proof do you have of AI delivery?
At Inc42, an AI-first approach cut shipping time by about 80%. We built AI infrastructure from zero, in-house agent frameworks, and LLM cost optimisation practices. I do not publish client names or invented testimonials.
