Demystify AI
For Your Business
A plain-English guide to AI for Indian business owners. No jargon. No hype. The presentation Riz Thakur delivered to EO Mumbai — now available to every business owner in India.
AI is not a technology problem.
It's a leadership gap.
Indian SMEs know AI is transforming their industries. What they don't know is where to start, what to buy, who to trust, and how to measure success.
Large enterprises have CIOs, CTOs, and now Chief AI Officers. Mid-market companies in apparel, real estate, manufacturing, and retail are left navigating this alone — with vendors who sell products, not strategy.
The solution isn't a ₹2 crore full-time hire. It's a trusted AI Officer who is embedded in your business one day a week, aligned to your industry, and accountable to your outcomes.
That's what we've built.
Only 12% of Indian SMEsuse AI in core operations — not because they don't want to, but because they have no one qualified to lead it.
A full-time Chief AI Officer costs ₹80L–₹1.5Cr per year. Most companies with under ₹100Cr revenue cannot justify that headcount.
95% of enterprise AI pilots fail to deliver measurable ROI— not because the tech is bad, but because there's no executive owning the outcome.
India has hundreds of thousands of BPO and software professionals qualified to deliver AI officer services — but no platform to train and place them.

Why 95% of AI pilots fail — and what the other 5% do differently
