India, Mar 10: Ecosystm today outlined the next phase of its strategic development, anchored in three priorities: building an AI-native intelligence platform, strengthening its practitioner-led advisory capability, and expanding its leadership community across Asia Pacific.
The company’s Founder and Chairman, Amit Gupta, returns to the CEO role to lead this phase directly. His return reflects the board’s conviction that founder-led execution is the right model for a period that demands both strategic clarity and operational speed. Ecosystm started as a digital native data & advisory platform, with innovation firmly entrenched in its DNA.
India’s role in shaping the next phase of the AI economy cannot be overstated. Ecosystm’s investments in India are focused on strengthening AI alignment across it’s intelligence platform, building a deeper bench of senior consultants and analysts on the ground, and enhancing the competitiveness of the insights that Ecosystm delivers to enterprises.
Commenting on the development, Gupta said, “Enterprises across Asia Pacific are navigating AI adoption at a pace and complexity that most intelligence platforms weren’t designed to support. Nowhere is this more true than in India, where the scale of enterprise transformation, the depth of the startup ecosystem, and the speed of policy evolution are redefining what good intelligence even looks like. We’re building Ecosystm to meet that need – with research that connects vendor strategy, enterprise adoption, policy, startup activity, and capital flows into a single, continuously updated picture. The goal is intelligence that is genuinely useful at the point of decision.”
AI POWERED INTELLIGENCE PLATFORM
Ecosystm’s intelligence platform now fully integrates CoVentured AI Innovation Research Platform, acquired in 2024, combining real-time venture and startup data with the company’s established market research. The integration strengthens Ecosystm’s ability to track innovation pathways and capital flows alongside enterprise adoption trends, moving the platform from periodic reporting toward continuously updated, scenario-capable intelligence. This is particularly vital in high-growth markets like India, where startup innovation and enterprise AI adoption are deeply intertwined.
WHOLE-OF-ECOSYSTEM RESEARCH
Ecosystm’s research covers the full technology landscape: vendors, enterprise transformation, policy and regulation, startup activity, and investor behaviour. This breadth is deliberate -technology decisions increasingly depend on understanding how these layers interact, not just how individual products evolve.
PRACTITIONER-LED ADVISORY
Ecosystm’s advisory capability is built around practitioners, former CIOs, CDOs, and senior industry executives who have led enterprise transformation. Research is grounded in operational experience, not just market observation.
INTEGRATION WITH CLAYBOX AI
Ecosystm has deepened its commercial integration with Claybox AI, the full-stack AI consulting venture co-founded by Amit Gupta and Parminder Singh. Enterprise clients now have direct access to implementation advisory alongside research and analysis, supporting the translation of AI strategy into measurable outcomes. Claybox AI has garnered global enterprise clients across Banking, Tech, Automotive, Real Estate and Logistics, among others to enable their leadership to build AI forward enterprises.
LEADERSHIP COMMUNITY
Ecosystm is expanding the Ecosystm Leadership Council and its programme of leadership events across the region, including the Ecosystm Leadership ThinkTanks, the New Zealand CIO & Innovation Summit and Awards, and the AI Impact Assembly planned for Singapore.
A major pillar of this regional expansion is the Big5 CIO Priorities ’26 retreat in India, reflecting Ecosystm’s deep research and community roots in the country. Scheduled for 18-19 March 2026 at the Taj Surajkund Resort & Spa, Delhi (NCR), this forward-planning retreat brings together business and technology leaders from India’s 200+ largest enterprises. The Big5 event features visionaries who inspire the future to help leaders explores across five key themes: Leadership & Policy, Tech Ecosystem, GCCs as Growth Architects, Digital Economy, and the Future of Work, guided by global analysts from Ecosystm.
