Kartick Hari – Founder, Entrepreneur & Strategic Transformation Consultant
AI Transformation Cosultant | Business Design Consultant | Experience Strategy
Building Businesses,
Digital Platforms &
Intelligent Products.
Technology × AI
I advise founders, CXOs and organizations on AI transformation, business design, experience strategy and technology — helping turn complex challenges and ambitious ideas into scalable businesses, digital platforms and intelligent products.
Experience, Technology & AI are business decisions.
Technology × Intelligence
Real transformation happens when we understand the business, design the right experience, make the right technology decisions, and apply intelligence where it creates meaningful value.
I don't approach Business, Experience, Technology and AI as separate disciplines. The most interesting problems exist where they intersect.
Four dimensions.
One connected approach.
I work across the strategic intersections where business ambition, human experience, technology and intelligence need to become one coherent system.

Industries where complexity matters.
My work spans sectors where experience, operations, technology and intelligence increasingly need to work as one connected system.

18+ years of curiosity, building & reinvention.
That question has shaped more than 18 years of my entrepreneurial journey.
It took me through brand, design, customer experience, digital products, technology, business transformation and now AI — working across startups, enterprises, institutions, industrial organizations and government.
Over the years, I have worked with and consulted for 200+ organizations across 10+ countries, contributed to 50+ products, platforms and business initiatives, led multidisciplinary teams of 80+, and worked on digital experiences reaching more than 10 million users.
My experience includes engagements involving organizations such as Redington Group, Max Healthcare, MediBuddy VHealth, BigBasket, HCL, Murugappa Group, IIT Madras, Toyota, TVS Next, Isuzu, Airbus and Greater Chennai Corporation, among others.
Today, my work sits at the intersection of Business, Experience, Technology and AI.
My role is often to understand a complex business challenge, question assumptions, research deeply, identify a practical path forward, and bring together the right disciplines to turn that direction into reality.

Thinking about what comes next.
Perspectives on AI transformation, business, experience, technology and the future of intelligent industries.
Your company probably doesn't need an AI strategy.
It needs a business strategy that understands AI.
Read Perspective →UX is not just a design department.
Why experience should increasingly be treated as part of business infrastructure.
Read Perspective →The future of manufacturing AI isn't another chatbot.
It's intelligence moving closer to machines, operators, environments and real-world decisions.
Read Perspective →What are you trying to build — or transform?
If the problem is complex and the path isn't obvious, that's usually where the most interesting conversations begin.
