AI Deployment Crisis: Why 70% Projects Fail But One Bengaluru Startup Found a Way

New Delhi [India], August 30: Artificial Intelligence is often discussed in terms of smart algorithms, powerful models, and futuristic promises. However, very few people know that behind the scenes, the industry struggles with a challenge. This challenge is deployment, and it rarely makes headlines. Studies suggest that nearly 70% of enterprise AI projects never make it past the demo stage. These projects may look impressive in labs but collapse when faced with real-world users. This quiet crisis is now defining the difference between companies that rise and those that disappear. And in this narrative, a small team, which is Bengaluru-based, has emerged as a curious anomaly.
In Bengaluru, two 22-year-old founders, Manas Bhasin and Aditya Singhal, started a platform called Echidna AI Foundry. Their work stands out because it powers more than one million AI operations daily across 50+ companies. Unlike the global race for building smarter algorithms, their focus is on infrastructure. It is a thing which is less glamorous but a more critical backbone. With a deployment success rate of 94%, they challenge the industry norm of failure. This shows that the future of AI may not belong only to those designing models but also to those solving the question of how to make them work at scale.
