Leadership Perspective and Market Expansion

Ramanan S V, Chief Executive Officer, India and South Asia, Intellect Design Arena Limited, commented on the significance of this engagement: "India's financial services sector is entering a defining phase where AI must move beyond experimentation and become a structured enterprise capability. In regulated environments, intelligence must be governed, deterministic, and aligned to generating measurable business impact."

This mandate comes at a time when Intellect is accelerating the expansion of Purple Fabric across enterprise and academic ecosystems in India. Recently, the company introduced Enterprise AI on Tap, a scalable model enabling enterprises to operationalise governed AI with measurable business outcomes.
