By – Abhimanyu Jha, Co-Founder, SabPaisa

“I don’t think most people in the business world, even those who use AI tools on a regular basis, have yet realized how powerful these tools are despite their limitations like hallucinations, and are therefore not using the tools to their fullest extent. I keep seeing social media posts from India to Silicon Valley, including research papers from academics, debating whether vibe coding is possible which is where people who haven’t written a line of software in their life before can create useful software applications with help of current AI tools. In SabPaisa, almost 20% of our non-technical people have already vibe coded. How is it that in SabPaisa we are doing things regularly that rest of the world is still debating if it’s possible? We have invented our term for it called ‘Moneyball AI’. In Moneyball AI, you have to do two things: one, you have to let yourself believe in the power of these tools and pick up impossible projects; and two, you have to be able to hold long, very long conversations with these tools till you reach your goals.”

AI is now driving a fundamental shift not just from reactive to predictive, but increasingly toward prescriptive logistics, where decisions can be made autonomously, in real time. In fact, synchronising air, sea, rail, and road transport will require more than just automation, it demands intelligent systems that can analyse vast data sets, anticipate disruptions, and recommend the most efficient action plans across modes.

However, building this kind of operational intelligence requires more than just technology. It calls for robust digital infrastructure, a disciplined approach to data governance, and AI models trained specifically for logistics models that understand nuances like port congestion, seasonal demand surges, or last-mile delays. And when dealing with sensitive cargo like pharmaceuticals or defence materials, the need for explainable, auditable AI frameworks becomes even more crucial. AI adoption enhances transparency, trust, and traceability.

At a broader scale, the convergence of AI, IoT, and automation platforms perfectly complements infrastructure development initiatives like PM Gati Shakti, paving the way for building a logistics network that is resilient, sustainable, and future-facing.

As we look ahead, the industry’s ability to scale AI responsibly will define the service delivery capacity and capability of global supply chain in terms of speed, efficiency and resilience.”

From Appreciation to Action: Powering India’s AI Future with Scalable Innovation

By Naveen Bolalingappa – CEO, STL Digital

“As we mark AI Appreciation Day in India, it’s important to acknowledge both the promise and the pressing challenges that define the country’s AI journey. While India is rapidly becoming a global digital powerhouse, reports indicate that over 60% of enterprises still fail to operationalize AI at scale without future-ready enterprise solution. This challenge arises due data silos and legacy infrastructure as key barriers. The root cause lies in the fragmented adoption approach—where AI is often treated as a one-off initiative rather than a long-term, organization-wide capability. This disjointedness not only stalls innovation but also prevents businesses from unlocking the true value of data-driven decision-making.

The consequences are visible: from under-readiness in manufacturing sector and delayed insights in BFSI, to missed personalization in retail and healthcare. Without a foundational AI strategy, Indian enterprises risk falling behind in a world where AI maturity will define competitive advantage. With the changing landscape of AI across sectors, what is also needed for equitable AI success is regulation at the industry, individual and national level.

At STL Digital, we’re committed to changing that narrative. Our approach integrates AI with cloud, data engineering, and security by design, helping enterprises scale AI across levels of their organization and innovate consistently. We are enabling businesses to move from experimentation to execution—with frameworks that ensure access, scalability, and real-time intelligence.

On this AI Appreciation Day, we urge Indian businesses to not just adopt AI, but to embed it into the core of their operations. Because appreciation should lead to action—and that’s how we collectively shape a smarter, more resilient digital future for India.”
