Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar
Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar is all set to host Marathwada’s first Enterprise AI Summit, @scale, on February 14 at ICAI Bhavan. The summit aims to spotlight the evolving role of Artificial Intelligence in business decision-making. AI is no longer just a trend or a buzzword; it has become a decisive tool that can drive foresight, improve organisational judgement, and influence strategic growth.
The event is jointly organised by Findability Sciences and Nath School of Business & Technology (NSBT), with Lokmat Times as a media partner, reflecting a purposeful collaboration between industry and academia. While AI tools such as ChatGPT and Gemini have made the technology widely accessible, enterprises face a greater challenge: harnessing structured, real-time organisational data to make meaningful business decisions. The summit will focus on Enterprise AI, enabling companies to move from hindsight-based reporting to foresight-driven strategy, embedding intelligence into the fabric of data, processes, and leadership decisions. The summit has received an overwhelming response from industries, highlighting the growing relevance of Enterprise AI, over 75% of registrations completed for the region’s industrial ecosystem. @scale will also demonstrate how Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities like Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar can meaningfully participate in the AI economy. Unlike consumer AI, Enterprise AI is context-driven, relying on local industries, local data, and local decision-making realities making it an opportunity for regions beyond metros.
Over the past year, the partnership between Findability Sciences and NSBT has translated into tangible initiatives, including the launch of an AI Solutions Lab, leadership-focused AI programmes, joint educational articles, and enterprise collaborations. Speakers from India and abroad will represent industry, academia, consulting, and policy. Confirmed speakers include Anand Mahurkar (Findability Sciences, USA), Art Norins (RS11 Inc., USA), Rakesh Bhatia (Ducere Global Business School, USA), Radhika Krishnaswamy (Findability Sciences Agriculture AI Division, USA), Deepak M (PwC), Rajendra Deshpande (Ingroup Consulting), Raunak K (Zomato), Atul Jha (Cars24), CA Umesh Sharma, Chandrashekhar Jaiswal (MTDC), Natasha Zarine (Eco Sattva), Harsh Vardhan Jajoo, and others.
Findability Sciences is a global Enterprise AI company serving multiple industries, while NSBT, conceived by N. Kagliwal Education & Research Foundation with MGM University, is a premier industry-led educational institution.

@scale: The Beginning of a Journey
While @scale is a one-day summit, organisers say it marks the start of a longer journey to build leadership readiness, strengthen enterprise capability, and foster a shared understanding of AI-driven decision-making in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar and the wider Marathwada region.

Enterprise AI shift
“Enterprise AI isn’t just about tools or pilots. It means embedding intelligence across data, processes, and leadership decisions. Organisations must move beyond experiments and integrate AI into decision-making to drive real impact. This transformation is essential for businesses aiming to stay competitive and future-ready.”
– Anand Mahurkar, Founder & CEO, Findability Sciences

AI clarity needed
“AI is everywhere, but clarity is missing. @scale guides businesses to understand how AI can enhance judgement, improve decision-making, and deliver long-term economic value. It helps organisations move from experimentation to informed, strategic application of AI, ensuring measurable impact and sustainable growth.”
– Harsh Vardhan Jajoo, Director, NSBT
