We’ve all been through losing opportunities because the reports didn’t show them. The data is six weeks old, it took an analyst two weeks to compile, and it’s already late by the time you get it.

This has been the broken promise of Business Intelligence (BI). We have more data than ever, all trapped in different systems, but we still don’t know what to do next.

This is the problem we set out to solve.

That’s why we are so incredibly proud and humbled to announce that The Economic Times has given NavAI a special mention and award as an “Emerging AI Company.”

This isn’t just a pat on the back. It’s a validation of our vision that data isn’t for analysts; it’s for everyone. And its purpose isn’t to be looked at; it’s to be acted on.

The Old Way of Doing Things

The old way of doing things has become old for a reason. Even getting an answer for a simple question had a lengthy process:

You’d file a ticket. You’d wait for an analyst. They would manually pull data from the ERP, cross-reference it with shift logs, and try to make sense of it. The insights became stale by the time you got them.

We looked at this and asked a simple question: What if you could just ask?

Step 1: Building the Foundation

Before you can have revolutionary AI, you need a strong foundation. A step that most companies skip.

Our first step in every engagement is to build the data foundation. We have built a unified intelligence layer that can connect to over 320 data sources, be it ERP, CRM, POS, or even your CCTVs via NavAI’s computer vision.

We clean that data and organize it in a data warehouse. For the first time, the entire organization is looking at the same real-time data. That’s what makes the AI work.

Step 2: Making AI Work

We built NavAI on a simple, human-centric principle: your curiosity should be the only interface you need.

Using NavAI is “as easy as talking,” literally.

Want to know which products to promote in Florida next month? Or which sales rep needs training? Or why is production lagging? Just ask.

You can type the question or even speak it right from your phone or any device with a browser. And because business doesn’t just happen in one language, our platform understands and responds in over 100 languages.

This is the democratization of data.

  • A pharma MRE can know the next best doctor to visit.
  • A floor manager can find the idle hotspots in the last hour.
  • A sales rep can know the exact products to pitch to a particular retailer.

Every employee now has access to proactive insights in their pocket.

Step 3: From Reactive to Proactive

This is where the “Emerging AI” recognition comes in. The Economic Times is highlighting a shift from analytics to action.

The best example of this is NavAI’s computer vision.

Most factories have hundreds of CCTV cameras. 99% of the time, they are used reactively. You review the footage after an accident has happened or some boxes have disappeared.

NavAI plugs into your real-time CCTV feed. It understands what’s happening. Is a worker in a high-risk zone not wearing a helmet? Is a critical workstation unmanned for more than five minutes?

When NavAI detects any anomaly, it doesn’t just log a report. For instance, if it detects an unmanned packaging zone, it instantly sends a WhatsApp alert to the floor supervisor with a screenshot. The supervisor immediately reallocates manpower. A 30-minute production delay is prevented before it ever happens.

This is AI that doesn’t just show you a graph of your problems; it helps you solve them in real time.

The Next Step: Autonomous Workforce

The recognition from The Economic Times is an honor, but for us, it’s just the start.

The world is now moving beyond simple analytics to Agentic AI. We’re building AI agents that don’t just automate tasks, but automate outcomes.

For example, an AI customer service agent that doesn’t just flag a query but researches the customer’s history, analyzes the problem, and delivers a solution.

This Recognition Is Yours, Too

A special mention from an institution like The Economic Times is a moment of pride. But most of all, this recognition belongs to our clients and partners.

To everyone who was tired of data being a roadblock. To everyone who took a chance on a smarter way of working.

You are the ones who are truly “emerging.” We’re just building the tools to help you do it.

This is just the beginning.
