"When we prioritize people’s lives, we create boundless impact with AI" Hear from Krishna Sudheendra, CEO, UST UST is uniquely positioned to create impact with AI because we’re willing and able to go deep into the client domain to understand their applications and problems. For a proof-of-concept, we need to understand the problem; to create enterprise impact, we aim to understand the entire landscape. One of the things customers love about UST is our collaborative mindset. We thrive in partnership, in solving problems together with empathy and care. Our experience in automation and our home-grown platforms are a lifeline for clients setting out in their AI journey. We build quick ROI use cases with our generative AI sandbox. We reimagine for different personas through design-led AI. We boost their bottom line by enhancing customer and employee productivity. And let’s not forget change management and talent management: we’re here for it all. Everyone wants to ride the AI wave. But many are under tremendous budget pressures. At UST, we use a self-funded transformation model: first helping clients cut costs through automation, then leveraging the savings to fund the broader transformation.
