AI has increasingly become very important for the industry, especially in India. More and more industrial segments are relying for intelligence, growth, processes and many more aspects. It’s no surprise that a World AI Appreciation Day has been assigned.

On this occasion, we received overwhelming number of comments from the industry. Following are some of them –

“World AI Appreciation Day is a good moment to step back from the hype and look at what AI is actually doing inside enterprises today. At Onix, we think about AI not as a standalone tool but as something that needs context to be genuinely useful. That is the thinking behind our Enterprise Intelligence Fabric, Wingspan, which gives enterprises a living, connected view of their data, systems and business logic, so AI agents are not just fast, they are accurate and dependable. We are already seeing organizations modernize significantly faster and cut manual effort dramatically once their AI has this kind of grounded context to work with. What excites us most is the shift this creates, AI moving from isolated pilots to becoming a genuine operating layer for the enterprise, helping teams make real time decisions instead of waiting days for answers. That is what appreciating AI truly means to us, not marveling at the technology itself, but recognising its power to make enterprises fundamentally smarter and faster.” —Niraj Kumar, CTO, Onix

“On AI Appreciation Day, it’s worth recognising that AI’s greatest contribution isn’t automation. It’s transformation. Its real value lies in helping businesses make better decisions, faster, by connecting intelligence across fragmented systems, people and processes. The result goes beyond operational efficiency: stronger outcomes, greater resilience and the confidence to navigate change rather than react to it. At mFilterIt, we have seen this firsthand when AI orchestrates rather than simply automates, businesses gain the upper hand in their operations: their digital investments stay protected, their decisions turn sharper and real-time, and their growth becomes harder to disrupt. But technology alone is never the answer. AI brings speed, scale, and precision; people bring context, ethics, creativity and judgment. The future will belong to organisations that unite the strengths of both. Together, human intelligence and AI won’t just improve business, they will redefine what’s possible and create wonders we have yet to imagine.”–Amit Relan, Co-Founder and CEO, mFilterIt

“AI has evolved from being a productivity tool to becoming a strategic enabler of precision-driven dentistry. As AI becomes increasingly integrated with digital workflows, advanced imaging, intraoral scanning and treatment planning, it is helping clinicians deliver more accurate diagnoses, personalised care and improved patient outcomes. Recent advancements in AI have further strengthened its role in supporting clinical decision-making, improving diagnostic capabilities and enabling more efficient treatment planning across dental specialties. At Laxmi Dental, we are embedding AI across our digital ecosystem, from enhancing laboratory workflows to enabling connected care through innovations. We believe AI delivers its greatest value when it complements clinical expertise, strengthens digital workflows and improves patient engagement beyond the dental chair. However, innovation must be accompanied by robust clinical validation, data security, transparency, and rigorous quality standards. The future of dentistry will be defined not only by technological advancement, but by how responsibly AI is applied to make oral healthcare more connected, accessible, and patient-centric.”–Sameer Merchant, MD & CEO, Laxmi Dental

“For years, experiential marketing was about creating moments. Today, with AI, it’s about creating moments that recognise you, adapt to you and remember you. That’s a fundamental shift. At Younion, we are seeing AI transform how brands connect with audiences. This is from predictive personalisation and real-time behavioural insights to dynamic content that responds to how people actually engage. But the most exciting shift isn’t technological; it’s philosophical. AI is pushing our industry to design experiences with intention, not just imagination. To build for individuals, not audiences. To measure impact in nuance, not just numbers. On AI Appreciation Day, what I appreciate most is this: AI hasn’t diminished the human element of experiential marketing. It’s making us more thoughtful about what makes an experience truly human in the first place.–Shajesh Menon, Founder & CEO, Younion Brand Experiences

“Across enterprises, one of the biggest shifts has been embedding AI at the core of business strategy. In financial services, this shift is reshaping outcomes. These are lending decisions have become smarter, fraud detection sharper, customer experiences more personalised and access has expanded to underserved segments that were previously overlooked.

Companies are investing seriously in ensuring AI decisions remain transparent and reliable. In a highly regulated industry such as financial services, this requires strong governance, explainable systems, robust data security, and compliance with regulatory standards.

At axio, we believe responsible AI has the potential to make finance considerably more inclusive and more attuned to individual customer needs. By combining advanced technology, data-driven insights, and deep industry expertise, we can help close the credit access gap and equip individuals with the tools required to make sound financial decisions.”–Prasanna Nirmal Kumar, Chief Credit Officer, axio

“For most of history, the great leaps in productivity came when we learned to produce something at scale. We did it with electricity and it reshaped civilisation.

Today we are learning to produce intelligence at scale; and that is what excites me most on AI Appreciation Day. AI is not magic; and it is not a threat to be feared. It is infrastructure. When enterprises treat it that way, building the right foundation to collect, unify and process their data, intelligence stops being a scarce resource reserved for a few and becomes something every decision in the business can draw on.

The enterprises that will define this decade are not the ones chasing the flashiest model. They are the ones quietly building their AI factory, turning raw data into reliable, everyday intelligence.–Anand Mahurkar, CEO & Founder, Findability Sciences 

The above comments show that across industry segments, the leaders are recognising the potential of AI and are ready to adopt it. We are yet to see its far reaching cnsequences.
