New Delhi, June 28, 2017: Artificial intelligence, machine learning and deep learning, all these words have moved out of the pages of science fiction and are making their presence felt strongly in our daily lives. With a view to evaluating their growing effect on businesses all across the globe, Knowlarity, the leading cloud communications provider across emerging markets, powered the prestigious event in the annals of global business that discussed, analyzed and evaluated the leveraging power of Artificial Intelligence in the economic ecosphere.

Artificial Intelligence and its effective and efficient implementation seem to be on the top of every CXO’s to-do list. However, in the absence of a clear blueprint, it becomes difficult for various businesses to gauge how and when A.I. can be utilized to solve business problems fast and permanently? With practical experiences shared by Knowlarity’s CTO Ajay Shrivastava and detailed insights from A.I. architects such as Enterprise Solution Architect at AWS Samir Karande, the event served as an eye-opener for entrepreneurs who were still in two minds about the feasibility of this state-of-the-art technology in present business environment. The Meetup also comprised enriching sessions studying the A.I. phenomenon on various planes such as its transformative role in business communications, Democratizing A.I. and specifically utilizing A.I. from the focal point of customer centricity.

Commenting on the event, Ajay Shrivastava, CTO, Knowlarity said, “The world over, Artificial Intelligence is the latest concept that has become the buzzword of business. While many global companies have already started to successfully implement A.I. for business and brand growth, Indian entrepreneurs are still trying to grasp the enormity of this immensely transformative development. In such a scenario, this Meetup was an absolutely essential and enriching event that left the participants significantly aware and fully prepared to mould the A.I. phenomenon according to the best interests of their respective businesses.”

The event saw sessions being led by Ajay Shrivastava, the current CTO of Knowlarity and previously the Head of Technology at Oyo, who helped the company grow its technology team during the phase where the company grew from four to 200 cities.
