While artificial intelligence (AI) in its various forms, from ChatGPT to Agentic AI, is now fairly common across companies, there is still hesitation in large-scale adoption as many firms are risk-averse to adopting this new technology. Sensing an opportunity in this space, Uniqus Consultech, a tech-consulting platform, has launched AI UniVerse, a consulting initiative that it hopes will help companies worldwide adopt AI.
Speaking to FinancialExpress.com on the launch of the product, Jamil Khatri, Co-Founder & CEO of Uniqus, said Uniqus aims to bridge the gap between what AI can deliver and what outcomes companies can expect, especially when it comes to finance, risk and sustainability functions. He says that he wants companies to move from just small-scale AI experiments to deeply embedded AI workflows. He says AI UniVerse is an initiative that combines the consulting firm’s expertise in finance, risk and sustainability with technical AI knowledge.
Says Khatri: “There are three things that are stalling companies from large-scale deployment. One, ROI is an issue. Second is the amount of data and how large language models can solve issues without adequate data. And the third is risk and security, companies are still unsure about it.”
Khatri points out that in many companies, employees often upload data to open-source AI LLMs like ChatGPT and get suggested solutions, still the security of the data is an issue. No one knows how and where that data can be accessed, especially if it is sensitive financial data.
AI UniVerse is designed to address these issues with purpose-built solutions that can be tailored to a company’s specific needs. To ensure a multitude of AI services, Uniqus has partnered with several AI-native companies such as Lyzr, Cognida.ai, Anecdotes, Numeric, Cranium, and Portal26, all of which are global firms. Pointing out some limitations of certain enterprise-level AI models from large tech firms, Khatri says LLM models are not trained specifically on finance data. He says that Uniqus’ experience in offline consulting, and the data from its projects, can help solve this issue.
When asked how companies can look at ROI from AI deployment, Khatri pointed out that just enabling faster decision making is a measurable ROI, giving an example of rebates leakage in pharmaceutical distribution in US firms.
To build its AI practice, Uniqus has already made investments, having raised $20 million in Series C funding earlier this year. Khatri claims the initiative is already profitable.
