You don't need more AI.
You need to govern what you have.

Every consultancy is selling AI adoption. I do the opposite. I help enterprises build the governance, reliability, and compliance infrastructure that makes AI deployments survive contact with regulators, auditors, and production.

Before I wrote a single line of ML code, I spent a decade inside the system — managing HNI portfolios at a top-5 Indian private bank, structuring cross-border capital across five ASEAN markets, building a marketplace from zero to 200+ dealers, and modelling rural credit flows at NABARD. I've sat across the table from RBI examiners, filed SEBI compliance reports, and navigated IRDAI frameworks firsthand. That's not a line on a resume — it's the reason my AI work is different.
What makes this different

Financial services operator first

Priority banking, wealth management, commercial lending, cross-border strategy — I've done the work. When I design an AI governance framework, it's informed by years of managing portfolios, handling compliance audits, and operating under regulatory pressure. Not by reading about them.

I build what I advise on

I'm actively building AI trust infrastructure — agent registries, reasoning capture, reliability monitoring. My recommendations come from production, not decks. When I tell you something works, it's because I've shipped it.

Four regulators, operated under all of them

RBI's risk weight guidelines, SEBI's advisory frameworks, IRDAI's automation rules, and the DPDP Act are converging on AI simultaneously. I've worked under each regulator operationally — not just studied them for a client engagement. That changes what you recommend.

Governance as a strategic advantage

Everyone else sells AI acceleration. I help you build the trust layer that lets you scale without regulatory exposure. The enterprises that govern their AI now — agent registries, audit trails, bounded autonomy — will have a structural advantage when enforcement arrives.

India and cross-border depth

India Stack (UPI, Account Aggregator, GST), GIFT City IFSC, India-ASEAN corridors — I've operated across these systems, not observed them. Expansion across Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Malaysia. $450M capital deployed, regulatory licensing across five jurisdictions.

The full stack, not just the AI layer

Credit risk architecture. Portfolio construction. HNI relationship management. Campaign analytics. Basel III compliance. I understand the business the AI is supposed to serve — which means I know which problems are worth solving with AI and which aren't.

Areas of work
01

AI Governance & Agent Infrastructure

Agent registry design, reasoning capture architecture, bounded autonomy frameworks, and policy enforcement layers. For enterprises that need to know what their AI is doing, why, and within what limits.

02

Regulatory Compliance for AI Systems

Mapping AI decision-making to RBI, SEBI, IRDAI, and DPDP Act requirements. Audit trail architecture, explainability reporting, and cross-regulation conflict resolution. Built for India's multi-regulator reality.

03

AI Reliability & Production Monitoring

Drift detection, hallucination monitoring, fairness evaluation, and model governance frameworks. Designed for Indian data patterns — seasonal cycles, regulatory events, and market-specific distributions.

04

Enterprise AI Strategy

For leadership teams making build-vs-buy decisions, defining AI roadmaps, or evaluating vendor risk. I bring 12 years of financial services operations to the strategic layer — not just the technology.

05

AI-Native Risk & Credit Infrastructure

Continuous assessment frameworks built on India Stack data flows — UPI, Account Aggregator, GST. Risk architecture designed around new data, not legacy models with new inputs.

06

Cross-Border & Market Entry Strategy

Regulatory licensing, corporate structuring, and market strategy across India and ASEAN. Experience across 5 Southeast Asian jurisdictions and India's GIFT City IFSC framework.

How I work

Strategic Advisory

Ongoing advisory relationship for leadership teams navigating AI governance, regulatory strategy, or market entry. Typically retained quarterly.

Assessment & Roadmap

Enterprise-wide AI audit — agent inventory, governance gaps, regulatory exposure, and a prioritized implementation roadmap. 4-6 week engagement.

Implementation Oversight

Hands-on architecture and technical oversight for AI governance infrastructure, risk systems, or compliance layers. Embedded with your team.

Good fit / not a fit
This is for you if
  • You're a bank, insurer, or financial services firm deploying AI and need someone who understands both the technology and the regulatory reality
  • Your board or risk committee is asking "who governs our AI?" and nobody has a credible answer
  • You need AI strategy grounded in financial services operations — credit risk, portfolio management, compliance — not generic AI evangelism
  • You're expanding across India-ASEAN corridors and need someone who's navigated the regulatory landscape firsthand
  • You want a senior advisor who's managed P&L, handled audits, and built teams — not just deployed models
This is not for you if
  • You need a chatbot built or a model fine-tuned — I don't do implementation-only work
  • You want a generic "AI transformation" deck to present to your board
  • You're looking for the cheapest option — governance done badly is worse than no governance

If you're deploying AI at scale and need someone who's built governance infrastructure from the inside — not someone who's read about it — let's talk.
