Analytics India Magazine brings to you its annual list of the Most Influential AI Leaders In India for the year 2022. Selected on the basis of the expertise they hold in the field of AI and Data Science, the list recognises the exceptional work these professionals have accomplished over the last year.
Leaders in this list have shown great ability to lead their teams to develop state-of-the-art AI solutions and support their companies or clients. Along with significant career accomplishments, the leaders inducted into the awards demonstrate the kind of substantial business impact, technology vision and inspirational leadership that advances their role and creates a positive influence on the analytics profession.
The final record is the work of over two months as AIM invited nominations from various leading organisations in India. The selection is done by a panel that includes members internal and external to AIM. The list is finalised primarily based on the criteria of the leader’s impact on the AI ecosystem in India.
