Infogain, a Silicon Valley-based leader in human-centered digital platform and software engineering services, announced the appointment of Anil Kaul, PhD as its Chief Artificial Intelligence (AI) Officer. He will also continue to serve as EVP – AI and Analytics at Infogain and CEO at Absolutdata, an Infogain company.
Dr. Kaul will guide Infogain customers through their AI-led digital innovation and transformation journeys and enable them to build cloud data platforms and to install and run AI algorithms. He will also build AI competency across Infogain’s delivery organization and enable internal process improvements in Infogain Finance, HR and other support functions. Infogain will also more than double its investment in its NAVIK AI platform, including enhancing its seven key products and adding more use cases.

Many Infogain customers already use AI on the NAVIK AI platform. A Fortune 50 computer software company uses AI to optimize marketing campaigns, a Fortune 100 company achieved a 3% revenue uptick through AI-driven assortment recommendations, and an insurance tech product uses AI in its photo-based claim estimation feature.
