Mr. Agendra Kumar, Managing Director, Esri India, said,

“AI is transforming the world by unlocking new possibilities across every sector. From automating routine tasks to generating deep insights from massive datasets, it is enabling faster, smarter decision-making. The integration of AI into geospatial workflows is transforming how we collect, analyze, and share spatial data. We are calling this Geospatial Artificial Intelligence (GeoAI). With GeoAI, users across sectors are able to derive actionable insights from satellite imagery, drone videos, unstructured text, and more at unprecedented speed and scale. Additionally, natural language-powered AI assistants are making GIS more accessible, enabling users to interact with complex spatial datasets simply by describing what they need in plain English or even in their native language. These advancements are happening now, and our newly launched GIS and AI Centre is a step towards democratizing this potential, empowering users across domains to solve real-world problems more intelligently and intuitively.”

Ganesh Gopalan, Co-Founder & CEO, Gnani.ai, said,

“At Gnani.ai, we see AI not just as technology, but as a catalyst transforming how India speaks, learns, and transacts. On AI Appreciation Day, we celebrate the incredible strides made in voice AI, small language models, and generative AI that bridge linguistic diversity and democratize digital access. Aligned with the IndiaAI mission, we are committed to building solutions that are inclusive, responsible, and locally relevant—empowering enterprises and everyday users alike. As AI continues to evolve, our vision remains clear: to make Agentic AI an enabler of growth and innovation for every corner of India.”

Murugan Anjunan, Chief Technology Officer, HerKey, said,

“AI Appreciation Day is a moment to reflect; not just on how far the technology has come, but on what it makes possible. We don’t view AI as a disruptor in isolation, but as a dynamic partner in progress. It helps us reimagine how women return to, remain in, and rise within the workforce at scale and with personalisation. The real potential of AI lies not in replacing human intelligence, but in amplifying it. It’s not about man versus machine; it’s about designing systems where both thrive together. The future of work is not just AI-powered, but it is human-first, AI-enabled.”,
