AIM 100: India's Most Influential People Shaping AI in 2026
Anand Sahay
Global CEO, Xebia

Anand Sahay has led Xebia’s transformation from delivering isolated AI projects to building production-ready AI systems that create measurable business value. Over the past year, he has focused on embedding AI across engineering, software delivery, and enterprise decision-making while demonstrating practical applications of agentic AI for organisations in India and global markets.
During his tenure, Xebia has helped enterprises operationalise AI by integrating intelligent systems into core business processes rather than treating AI as a standalone technology initiative. The company’s approach has emphasised scalable implementation, responsible deployment, and measurable business outcomes.
Sahay believes India’s AI ecosystem has entered a decisive phase where success will depend less on experimentation and more on operationalising AI across enterprise workflows, supported by strong data foundations and responsible governance.
