Enterprise leaders struggling to square hype and promise of AI
Indian startups embedding AI into core industry workflows across finance, healthcare, manufacturing, logistics, retail and energy, were highlighted in VIBE50 Vertical AI Report 2025 which has also projected global enterprise spending on vertical AI to grow from US$5 billion in 2024 to US$47 billion by 2030 https://www.bseindia.com/.
“These startups are already delivering measurable impact—automating finance, enhancing diagnostics, and reducing downtime in manufacturing—with companies like Signzy, DeepTek, and Detect leading the way,” said the report which reflects a dramatic shift toward ROI-driven, industry-specific AI and India’s growing leadership in this transformation https://www.nseindia.com/.
“The next US$10 billion AI outcomes will come from systems that automate end-to-end workflows and deliver measurable ROI, not from general-purpose tools,” the report said.
“Enterprise leaders are struggling to square the hype and promise of AI with the high failure rate from pilot to production.” said Prasanna Krishnamoorthy, Managing Partner at Upekkha, the India–US accelerator behind 150+ SaaS and AI startups and host of VIBE 2025 held in Bengaluru.
“Hearing CxOs who are ahead on the AI curve talk not only about what’s working, but also what didn’t, helps us get the clarity needed to leapfrog as an ecosystem,” he said on 14 July https://digitalinasia.com/.
As the world moves toward real-world AI adoption, the summit spotlighted Vertical AI as the next big frontier—especially in manufacturing, BFSI, energy, and healthcare, said the report. Fiinews.com
