The power of AI is changing business as we know it; When it comes to AI, businesses think ambitiously. Nearly 85% of CXOs believe AI will allow their enterprise to obtain or sustain a competitive advantage in the marketplace. Contrastingly, just one in five enterprises have incorporated AI into their organization and less than 20% of enterprises have an AI strategy.
AI is invoking massive shifts in the business value chains of enterprises. And it is redefining what it takes for enterprises to achieve competitive advantage. Yet, even as several enterprises have begun applying AI engagements with impressive results, few have developed full-scale AI strategy that is contextualized and enterprise wide.
A first in its genre, AIQRATE is a global bespoke AI advisory and consulting firm that promises to provide path breaking AI advisory and consulting offerings with unique client engagement models.

Elaborates Sameer Dhanrajani– CEO & Co-founder, AIQRATE
Adding on, Sameer says that
He builds up further on alluding that a focus on strategic building blocks for AI can help enterprises develop penetrating insights, intelligence and recommendations. While “insight” conjures up visions of research, data crunching, and “aha” moments, real strategic intelligence also rests on a seemingly mundane and easy-to-overlook factor: a thorough understanding of how and why an enterprise, its competitors, and others in the industry value chain make money. Absent dumb luck, AI strategy that doesn’t tap directly into such an understanding will underperform.
Rohan Nag – Chief Client Officer & Co-founder AIQRATE mentions that
Rohan poses couple of pertinent queries as to “How do successful enterprises curate building blocks of AI strategy? And where do AI powerful strategies come from? In our experience, it’s also possible to load the dice in favor of developing good AI strategies by focusing on the core building blocks that often get overlooked. One is the need to gain strategic alignment, before creating an AI strategy on the essential decisions and the criteria for making them. Another is to ensure that the enterprise is prepared and willing to act on an AI strategy once it is adopted. Too much of what passes for strategy development, we find, consists of hurried efforts that skip one or more of the essentials. The resulting AI strategies are often flawed from the start.”
NK, CTO & Co-founder, AIQRATE elucidates upon the advantages of engaging with AIQRATE
We are at an inflection point where AI will revolutionize the way we do business. The paradigms of customer, products, offerings, services and competition will change dramatically; and being AI ready will become a true differentiator. AIQRATE could be your strategic partner to help you to prepare for what’s next in order to stay relevant.
