“We’re proud to be recognized alongside other organizations pushing the boundaries of what AI can achieve,” said Imran Aftab, CEO and Co-Founder of 10Pearls. “Many enterprises are investing in AI, but few are turning that investment into sustained business value. The real opportunity isn’t at the surface. It’s in embedding AI into how a business operates and how decisions are made. That requires more than technology. It requires alignment, governance, and execution at scale. When done right, AI shifts from isolated pilots to a core capability that drives business performance.”
