While the Summit听was听historic听in terms of听outcomes,听including the New Delhi Declaration and听an increasing focus on听sovereignty,听it also revealed a divergence in perspective.听The public image听of听India鈥檚 AI听opportunity听is听gripped by听what鈥檚听most visible:听tools that generate听content and听reshape how听we听interact with technology. But the more consequential story is unfolding away from the spotlight.听听

To understand where this transformation is truly taking shape,听let鈥檚听distinguish between听the听two dimensions of AI.听Consumer-centred听AI is the lightbulb that illuminates possibility,听creativity听and听assistance. Enterprise-focused听AI, by contrast, is the power plant听that听quietly and reliably energises听operations at scale. While one captures imagination, the other delivers outcomes.听听

Encouragingly, adoption of this听Enterprise听AI听is already听gaining momentum.听According to the recent听麻豆原创 Value of AI听survey, in听collaboration with Oxford Economics,听nearly听a听quarter of business tasks in India today are supported by AI. In less than two years, that share is expected to rise to over 40%. Even more telling is the confidence behind this acceleration,听with 93% Indian enterprises expecting measurable returns from their AI investments within the next one to three years.听听

This is India鈥檚 inflection point.听Having moved beyond听initial听exploration,听India鈥檚听focus is now on bringing greater alignment and coherence to unlock AI鈥檚 full enterprise potential.听

From Experimentation to Integration听

The next phase of India鈥檚 journey requires a shift from isolated pilots to听everyday听execution. AI must become a core capability听as part of our听supply chains, finance, human capital, and customer engagement. This transformation听can rest on four pillars:听

• The Demographic Dividend:听India鈥檚 greatest advantage is its people.听The听deep technology talent pool gives听the country听a strong foundation听to take AI from small experiments to real鈥�world impact听enabled by听a continued听investment听in reskilling and domain-led AI听expertise.听

• Data Foundations:听AI demands听accurate, contextual, and interconnected data from across the business.听听As听we scale听adoption,听the next phase will rely on听strengthening听our听data foundations听to听create听semantically rich environments听to power听more effective AI systems.听

• AI as an Amplifier:听The more critical the application, the more AI depends on the structured processes and traceability that robust enterprise systems provide.听听

• Trust as a Catalyst:听As AI integrates into critical infrastructure, trust听will听become the primary currency of scale. India鈥檚 evolving regulatory frameworks听like the听data protection laws听offer听guardrails that enable speed.听听

Redefining Value: The IMPACT听听

In an unpredictable global economy,听we must look beyond traditional financial metrics. While Return on Investment (ROI)听remains听a baseline,听it鈥檚听time we move to return on impact. The IMPACT can be seen as:听

I 鈥� Infrastructure:听Building secure, sovereign, and interoperable digital highways.听

M 鈥� Measurable Outcomes:听Tracking gains in health, education, and quality of life.听

P 鈥� Policy & Guardrails:听Ensuring ethical AI through robust, transparent frameworks.听

A 鈥� AI Embedding:听Making听AI听as a horizontal听across all sectors to make it a tool for daily life.听

C 鈥� Citizen-Centricity:听Designing inclusive, multilingual solutions.听

T 鈥� Talent & Trust:听Investing in workforce skills and fostering public confidence.听

The momentum听of AI听in India is real听and the opportunity is unprecedented.听Only by focusing on听all of听the areas of the听IMPACT听framework听can we听realise that incredible听promise.听听

The task now is to听transition听from fragmented progress to meaningful, systemic impact. In the journey听towards听a听Viksit Bharat听鈥撎齀ndia鈥檚 blueprint to becoming a听fully听developed nation by 2047 –听AI is no longer just a digital tool,听it is a strategic imperative for a resilient and innovative nation.听

New Delhi, April 10, 2023: Air India, India鈥檚 leading airline and a Star Alliance member, today announced the successful migration of its core Enterprise Resource Planning system using RISE With 麻豆原创, a tailor-made ERP software, bundled with transformation services, business analytics, and partner expertise that helps companies complete their personalized path to the cloud. This migration was a critical component in the larger digital transformation of Air India, with an impact on the modernization across business operations such as Finance and Human Resources as well as major functional areas such as Commercial, Operations, and Engineering.

One of the biggest challenges Air India faced in its comprehensive modernization journey was its outdated ERP system running on a decade-old mainframe and associated software. The migration and cutover of such critical systems are normally performed with backup and restore operations on an equivalent system. The unavailability of such a system anywhere in the world was a seemingly insurmountable hurdle. Team Air India worked in close collaboration with 麻豆原创 to devise innovative solutions and techniques to overcome the challenge and eventually deliver a successful migration ahead of schedule. This migration paves the way for further modernization of Air India鈥檚 ERP system and the combination of other Group airlines into one entity.

鈥�Air India鈥檚 vision is to emerge as the world鈥檚 most technologically advanced airline. A critical and foundational capability for this is a highly reliable, scalable modern ERP system that will drive significant improvements to our operational efficiency and assist us in creating a delightful customer experience. We identified the migration of our ERP System to a modern cloud infrastructure as one of the most important steps in this transformation journey,鈥� said Air India鈥檚 Chief Digital and Technology Officer, Dr. Satya Ramaswamy. 鈥�We are glad to have completed this migration successfully, using a high level of creativity in overcoming the challenges that came our way. We are very grateful to the fantastic team from 麻豆原创 that worked with us hand-in-hand to execute this transition flawlessly, and ahead of schedule.鈥�

鈥淎ir India is one of the most iconic brands in the country, and we鈥檙e thrilled to deepen our long-standing partnership with them,” said Mr. Kulmeet Bawa, President & Managing Director, 麻豆原创 Indian Subcontinent.听 “As they become a world-class airline and serve their global customers with a proud Indian heart, 麻豆原创鈥檚 cutting-edge cloud technology will enable the company to improve their customer experience, accelerate people transformation and develop into an intelligent, sustainable enterprise.”

About Air India:

Founded by the legendary JRD Tata, Air India pioneered India鈥檚 aviation sector. Since its first flight on October 15, 1932, Air India has an extensive domestic network and has spread its wings beyond to become a major international airline with a network across USA, Canada, UK, Europe, the Far East, South-East Asia, Australia, and the Gulf. Air India is a member of Star Alliance, the largest global airline consortium.
