What executives and senior leaders say about my impact and leadership.
"Shravan is so great to work with - first because he is so good at the details and getting results, and second, because he is a strategic thinker who is really motivated to connect business value and technology implementation. He was a leader for us with our clients because he could interact with executives and bring a data-driven perspective to every engagement. At BP3 he was an early adopter and thought leader of AI, GenAI, and intelligent automation capabilities. You couldn't ask for a better right hand leader to help drive your most important initiative."
Scott Francis
CEO, BP3 Global • Former Manager
"I had the wonderful opportunity to have Shravan in my organization for three years. He is unusually thoughtful, effective, and a consistent self starter. He continually upgrades his skillset on his own initiative, and constructively challenges and improves the business environment for his clients and his company -- both on a strategic as well as a tactical level. While highly competent from a technical perspective, I found his insight and guidance on the business side even more impactful."

My Thoughts
Insights on AI, technology, and strategy, from my experience.
Generative AI has ignited a global wave of excitement. In countless boardrooms and development labs, we've all seen the "magic"—the proof-of-concept (PoC) that drafts perfect emails, generates stunning images, or answers complex questions in seconds. It's impressive. It feels like the future.
But then, something happens. Or rather, nothing happens. The project stalls, stuck in a state of perpetual "pilot purgatory." The initial "wow" fades, and the promising concept never makes the critical leap into a real, value-creating production tool.
This isn't a failure of the technology; it's a failure of strategy. Here are the most common reasons Gen AI projects get stuck and, more importantly, how to move them forward.
The Problem: Why Projects Stall
1. The ROI Gap: From Cool Tech to Business Tool
A PoC is often built to showcase a capability, not to solve a problem. It's a solution looking for a business case. Stakeholders are initially dazzled, but when it's time to approve a full-scale budget, they ask the tough question: "What is the precise return on investment (ROI)?" Without a clear answer tied to cost savings, revenue growth, or efficiency gains, the project dies.
2. The Reality Check: Fragile Models in a Messy World
The controlled environment of a PoC is a clean, perfect world. Production is the opposite. It's a chaotic flood of messy, unpredictable, real-time data. The model that performed flawlessly in the lab suddenly faces challenges it wasn't built for:
- Scalability: It can't handle thousands of user requests at once without slowing to a crawl.
- Reliability: It produces nonsensical or incorrect outputs (known as "hallucinations"), creating a massive risk for brand reputation and user trust.
3. The Integration Nightmare: The Unseen Engineering Mountain
A standalone model is an island. A production-ready tool must be a bridge, deeply integrated into your existing, complex ecosystem of CRMs, databases, and security protocols. This is a massive engineering lift that teams drastically underestimate. They build a shiny new engine but have no plan for how to fit it into the car. Data governance, security compliance, and robust monitoring (MLOps) are not exciting features for a demo, but they are non-negotiable for production.
The Solution: The Playbook for Production
Getting to production isn't about luck; it's about discipline. Companies that successfully deploy Gen AI follow a clear playbook.
1. Start with "Why," Not "What"
Don't start by asking, "What can we do with Gen AI?" Instead, ask, "What is our most pressing business problem, and how can Gen AI help solve it?" By starting with a specific pain point—like reducing customer support tickets by 30% or accelerating marketing content creation—you build the business case directly into the project's DNA. Define your success metrics before you write a single line of code.
2. Build for Reality, Not a Demo
Assume from day one that the model will go into production. This means:
- Stress-Test It: Test the PoC with messy, real-world data, not just sanitized samples. Intentionally try to break it to find its limits.
- Build Guardrails: Implement systems to control the model's outputs. Use techniques like Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to ground it in your company's factual data, dramatically reducing hallucinations.
- Keep a Human in the Loop: Start with human oversight. A human-in-the-loop system can review and correct the AI's outputs, ensuring quality and safety while the model continues to learn.
3. Architect for Integration from Day One
Treat integration as a core feature of the project, not a final step. Create a detailed map of how the AI tool will connect with existing systems, data pipelines, and security frameworks. Adopting an MLOps (Machine Learning Operations) mindset is crucial—this provides the framework for deploying, monitoring, and continuously improving your model once it's live.
The journey from a dazzling PoC to a hardworking production tool is where true transformation happens. It's less about a single moment of invention and more about a disciplined process of integration and refinement. The companies that master this transition will be the ones that don't just talk about the future—they'll be the ones building it.

Shravan was a business process automation developer for one of the biggest business process migration and workflow app product development project for the firm I had pleasure to work with. He listens to the users for their needs, brings his insight to the table as a BPM professional, and he is diligent at thoroughly testing the product before production launch. He believed in not finishing his work until users are happy..... and I as his client was delighted!!!!
