The 2026 AI Leadership and Innovation category recognises Dr. Fadte — CTO of Aviantos and PieStudy — for his contribution to the productisation of Generative and Agentic AI across insurance, banking, and financial services.
Mumbai, 30 August 2026 — The 2026 Time Cyber Media Awards, held in Mumbai on 30 August, conferred the AI Leadership and Innovation honour on Dr. Anand Fadte, Chief Technology Officer at Aviantos and PieStudy. The award was presented by former Indian cricket captain Sunil Gavaskar, and recognised Dr. Fadte’s work on two AI products — avData and pieCRM — as well as the wider body of enterprise-AI architecture underpinning them.
The judging panel drew particular attention to the architectural discipline behind both products: data lineage, retrieval provenance, and cost-aware inference — features that give enterprise customers products they can defend to regulators and CFOs alike.
Over 22 years, Dr. Fadte has held CTO and senior technology roles at Aviantos and PieStudy (2024–present), MSM Unify in Canada (2022–2024), Qorbital in the UK and India (2021–2022), Tieto and TietoEVRY in Finland (2014–2021), and Accenture across the United States, United Kingdom, Belgium, Australia, and India (2006–2014). He has owned P&Ls of €100 million or more, led delivery organisations of up to 400 professionals, and been recognised more than forty times over his career.
