We see Agentic AI as a Once-in-a-Lifetime Opportunity: Srikanth Velamakanni
With a team of more than 5000 professionals worldwide, Fractal has also built cutting-edge AI platforms such as which applies AI to assist people in medical diagnosis and Kaleido, India's first text to image diffusion model You're reading Entrepreneur India, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. Tech 25: Srikanth Velamakanni, Co-founder, Group Chief Executive and Executive Vice Chairman of Fractal Fractal Analytics was founded in 2000 with a vision to empower organisations through data-driven decision-making. At a time when analytics was still nascent, Fractal believed in the transformative potential of data and AI to solve complex business challenges. Over the years, Fractal has evolved into a global AI powerhouse, serving over 100 Fortune 500 companies across sectors. Fractal first started looking at AI in 2010, when AI research had started seeing some results with speech analytics. The company started Fractal Sciences, an R&D division in 2011, to work on AI products spending about 13 per cent of annual revenue on R&D. As technology progressed, Fractal incubated AI companies within its fold, starting with in 2015 under a newer entity, Fractal Alpha, and focused on building AI products for industry-specific use cases. Fractal Alpha includes companies that are incubated by Fractal, like Crux Intelligence, and With a team of more than 5000 professionals worldwide, Fractal has also built cutting-edge AI platforms such as which applies AI to assist people in medical diagnosis and Kaleido (India's first text to image diffusion model). "India stands at a pivotal moment, ready to lead the next wave of AI innovation. But to truly harness this potential, businesses must double their investment in technology. Today, Indian companies spend just 2-3 per cent of their revenue on tech. This needs to increase significantly to fully capitalize on AI's promise. At Fractal, we are committed to driving this transformation by building high-quality AI products that address India's unique needs," says Srikanth Velamakanni, Co-founder, Group Chief Executive and Executive Vice Chairman of Fractal. Recently, Fractal AI's Project Ramanujan introduced a groundbreaking reasoning system to enhance the capabilities of large language models (LLMs) by integrating deep mathematical reasoning, enabling it to tackle complex tasks such as Olympiad-level mathematics and strategic games like chess. Looking ahead, Velamakanni says Fractal plans to introduce Cogentiq, an agentic AI platform for B2B applications, and Ramanujan, an advanced AI model for reasoning and coding. Additionally, the company is developing Project Pioneer, a multi-agent AI system designed for real-world applications like software development. Today, Fractal is making a bold bet on agentic AI. "Today, our revenues come from AI systems that power enterprise decisions, and many of these systems are now evolving to become agentic. We see this as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reimagine every business process with AI, from marketing and customer service to trade finance and healthcare," says Velamakanni. Asked what is one of the biggest challenges businesses face today, Velamakanni says it is building sustained trust in a rapidly evolving, tech-driven landscape. As AI and data become central to decision-making, clients and consumers alike are more cautious about how their data is used, how transparent the models are, and whether the solutions are genuinely adding long-term value or simply riding a hype wave. "Overcoming this requires more than just technical excellence. It calls for a culture of responsibility, deep domain empathy and an unwavering commitment to outcomes, not just outputs," he says.

What is operating leverage? Simple explanation with Indian examples
Operating leverage is one of the most important, yet often misunderstood, financial concepts for Indian investors. If you've ever wondered why some companies see a sharp rise in profits when sales go up, the answer lies in operating leverage. Let's break it down with simple language and Indian business examples. Advertisement What is operating leverage? Operating leverage measures how sensitive a company's operating profit (EBIT) is to a change in sales. In simple terms: High operating leverage = Small increase in sales leads to a big increase in profit Low operating leverage = Profits grow slowly even if sales rise It all depends on a company's fixed costs vs variable costs. Fixed costs vs variable costs – the basics Fixed costs: Expenses that stay constant, no matter how much the company produces or sells. Example: Factory rent for Tata Motors or advertising budget for Hindustan Unilever. Variable costs: Costs that increase as production increases. Example: Raw materials for Marico or packaging costs for Dabur. A company with high fixed costs and low variable costs has high operating leverage. Simple example of operating leverage (using Indian context) Let's say a company like Page Industries (Jockey India) spends heavily on advertising, salaries, and manufacturing infrastructure. These are fixed costs. If sales increase by 20%, profits could jump 50% or more. Why? Because the fixed costs stay the same, and the extra sales mostly go towards profits. On the flip side, if sales fall, profits can drop sharply. Why Indian investors should care about operating leverage Operating leverage helps you predict how profits will move with sales changes. In good times: High operating leverage companies can deliver multi-quarter profit growth. In bad times: These same companies suffer more because their fixed costs remain high. Example: During a consumption slowdown, companies like Titan or Avenue Supermarts (DMart) may face profit pressure if their fixed expenses are not covered by lower sales. How to check a company's operating leverage (quick method) Look at EBIT growth vs Revenue growth over past quarters. If EBIT grows faster than revenue, the company has high operating leverage. Focus on sectors with naturally high operating leverage: Examples include automobiles, FMCG, retail, and capital goods. Final takeaway Understanding operating leverage helps Indian retail investors spot companies that can deliver outsized profit growth during a demand upswing. But remember, it also comes with higher risk during slowdowns. Before investing, always check both revenue trends and fixed cost structures.

Revenue vs Profit: What's the difference and why it matters for Indian businesses
For anyone trying to understand a company's financial health, two terms appear almost everywhere: Revenue and Profit. Many new investors, entrepreneurs, and students often confuse the two. Let's break it down with simple examples relevant to Indian businesses. What is revenue? Revenue (also called Sales or Topline) refers to the total money a company earns by selling its products or services during a specific period. Think of it as: Total income generated before any expenses are deducted. Example: If Dabur India sells personal care products worth Rs 500 crore in one quarter, that Rs 500 crore is its revenue. What is profit? Profit (also called Net Income or Bottomline) is the money left after deducting all expenses, including operating costs, salaries, rent, interest, depreciation, and taxes, from the revenue. In short: Profit = Revenue – Total Expenses Example: If Dabur's total expenses (raw materials, salaries, marketing, taxes) for the same quarter were Rs 400 crore, then: Profit = Rs 500 crore – Rs 400 crore = Rs 100 crore Types of profit in Indian financial statements: Gross Profit:Revenue minus cost of goods sold (COGS). Example: For a restaurant chain like Barbeque Nation, this would mean revenue minus food material costs. Operating Profit (EBIT): Gross profit minus all operating expenses (excluding interest and taxes). Net Profit: Final profit after all expenses, including taxes and interest, are deducted. Why is this important for investors and business owners? Revenue shows scale: High revenue shows a company is selling a lot, but doesn't guarantee profit. Profit shows efficiency: A company with moderate revenue but high profit margins (like Infosys ) may be a more efficient business. Misleading perception: Some startups and new-age tech companies (like Zomato or Paytm) may report high revenue but still run at a loss for years. Quick summary: While Revenue tells you how much money is coming in, Profit tells you how much the company is actually keeping. Understanding both is essential when evaluating any Indian company, whether you're an investor, a student, or a budding entrepreneur.
