WHILE THE world envisioned Al composing symphonies and solving world hunger, RPG Group set out with a purpose-driven ambition to make Al a catalyst for meaningful, measurable transformation across the enterprise.

Leading the company’s Al journey, Amol and Digital team have discovered that sustainable transformation grows steadily brick by brick, data point by data point. RPG’s Al initiatives are progressively reshaping how the organisation thinks, decides, and operates.

“It's about building enduring foundations that enable continuous progress,” Amol reflects. “We're developing long-term capabilities that create lasting impact.”

Al: Built on Data, Driven by Insight

Amol emphasises that Al's potential shines brightest when powered by strong, well-curated data against applicable use cases.

“AI-ML is a dynamic engine; it thrives on clean, contextual, and well-governed data,” he says. At RPG, this means reinforcing data infrastructure, embedding governance frameworks, and integrating human expertise as an essential pillar of success.
