AI regulations are on the horizon, and as a founder, navigating through the ambiguity can be daunting. Abhinav sir was instrumental in clearing up our uncertainties. He went above and beyond to outline a meticulous plan for us to adhere to. This level of guidance is precisely what the industry requires. I strongly endorse him and Babl AI for all your AI compliance and audit requirements.

I had an amazing discussion with Abhinav. He is an accomplished advisor and his insights on both IT cost optimization and Responsible AI are world class. He shared his experience of working with multiple clients and the creative strategies he recommended to make the situation improve. In some instances he could convince clients to rethink their approach and take a humane but effective course of action. His take on responsible AI is comprehensive and although he hails from technology background he advocates keeping ethics at the center of decision making. Abhinav was kind enough to spend more than the scheduled time with me and I would definitely look forward to many more conversations.
