About Shail Khiyara
I caught fire experiencing the transformative power of AI and Automation. Over the past two decades, I have led enterprise software and SaaS tech companies, both public and private, but also served as a guiding force on their boards. Yet, my journey began within the realm of Civil/Structural Engineering, has taken me across the globe, spearheading transformative projects in Energy, Oil & Gas, Water, Transportation, and Industrial infrastructure. These experiences have provided a canvas to vividly paint the transformative impact of AI across sectors. As CEO of Plutoshift AI, we are on the brink of an industrial renaissance. In this new era, AI is not just a lever for productivity and efficiency; it's the fulcrum for revolutionizing them. Equipped with machine learning, predictive analytics, anomaly detection, constraints & sequential modeling, and federated learning, we are set to steer through the data deluge and unlock AI's trillion-dollar potential for industrial transformation. This period of profound change is what I call a 'Quantum Jump,' underscoring AI's pivotal role in driving industrial innovation. My first book, "Intelligent Automation – Bridging the Gap between Business & Academia," offers a blend of strategic insights and practical execution now essential in the field. In a bid to give back, I founded VOCAL (Voice of Customer in the AI/Automation Landscape), a global initiative that brings together over 90 leading brands to foster collaboration among automation and AI leaders, reinforcing my dedication to innovation and thought leadership in the industry.
