What Applied AI Consulting does

Applied AI Consulting (AAIC) is an enterprise AI consulting and services firm founded in 2019 in Pune, India, with US regional headquarters in McKinney, Texas and additional offices in Glastonbury, Connecticut and Nagpur, India. The company helps large enterprises move AI from proof-of-concept to production across business operations, IT operations, customer support, document workflows, manufacturing, and product engineering, serving 50+ clients across financial services, healthcare, telecom, technology, retail, and manufacturing sectors. Its proprietary technology stack includes two core platforms — GTAF (Generative Task Automation Framework), a multi-agent workflow orchestration platform with governance, observability, and human-in-the-loop controls, and OpsRabbit, an AI-assisted CloudOps and SRE incident investigation platform — supplemented by accelerators including aiTest (AI-powered QA), Marxeed (marketing campaign recommendation engine), and DevOps-in-a-Box (managed DevOps).

AAIC monetizes through four professional services engagement models: Advisory (AI roadmap, architecture review, use-case selection), POC and MVP development, pod-based cross-functional delivery teams, and managed delivery for ongoing production AI and IT operations. Pricing is quote-based with no public tiers disclosed. Distribution is sales-led via direct enterprise engagement, strategy calls, partner co-sell (notably AWS Advanced Consulting Partner status and a flagship Nisum partnership for Agentic AI), and content marketing through blogs, case studies, and webinars. The company is privately held and founder-owned (Vijay Roy, Gaurav Ashtikar, Sanju Burkule), with no disclosed external funding, no M&A activity, and no parent company ownership. Strategic positioning is reinforced by ISO 27001:2022 certification and AWS Advanced Consulting Partner plus DevOps and Service Delivery Competency designations, though the firm relies on third-party LLMs (OpenAI, Claude, Mistral, DeepSeek) rather than proprietary foundation models.
