BOTS.AI is India’s first consulting firm purpose-built to embed AI and agentic AI into traditional organisations, rewiring workflows, decisions, and P&L. We don’t sell slideware. We design, ship, and scale living systems that change how work gets done across HR, Sales, Finance, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, and L&D.We’re already running multi-crore, 24-month transformations across industries while delivering AI L&D at scale (PromptStart → Pro → Masters → OS) to 50–60 orgs.
