Agentics has set out to change the way small and mid-sized businesses adopt artificial intelligence.
Instead of chasing billion-dollar corporations that already have armies of consultants and legacy IT vendors circling around them, the company is focused on growth-ready MSMEs. Its mission is simple but bold: to help these businesses move from merely using AI tools to becoming truly AI-native enterprises.
At the center of Agentics’ strategy is capitalising on India’s extraordinary AI talent pool. The country has quickly become a global powerhouse, with over 416,000 AI professionals in 2025; a 250% jump from 2016, and that number is projected to triple to 1.25 million by 2027. Fueled by 2.6 million STEM graduates each year, India ranks first in the world for AI skill penetration, ahead of even the United States, and stands second only to the U.S. in terms of total AI workforce. Europe and the Middle East recognize Indian talent as among the best in the world, bolstered by a thriving ecosystem of more than 400 funded AI startups.
For MSMEs, this is game-changing. Access to world-class expertise at competitive costs means they can tap into the same caliber of AI talent as multibillion-dollar corporations, without the bloat or inflated pricing of traditional consultancies. MEs are often ignored by big players, yet they’re desperate for AI to level the playing field. Agentics’ focus on this niche – delivering tailored, high-impact solutions – fills a critical gap.
But Agentics isn’t just selling talent. The company is addressing a deeper problem: the way businesses have been approaching AI adoption. Too often, MSMEs buy plug-and-play tools expecting instant results, bolt AI onto outdated systems with no long-term strategy, or run scattered pilot projects that never scale.
The result is wasted time, wasted budgets, and zero ROI. Agentics’ answer is what it calls an AI-native transformation. The process begins with prototypes using a client’s own data to prove value upfront, then moves into modular scaling, tied directly to measurable outcomes like 20 percent cost savings or 30 percent efficiency gains.
Founder Nishith Srivastava (Nish) sums it up bluntly: “The old playbooks are broken. Innovation shouldn’t take 18 months, transformation shouldn’t stall in pilot purgatory, and AI shouldn’t just be a demo. It should drive real P&L impact.”
This “anti-consultancy” stance defines Agentics.Instead of just delivering reports, we become your active partner in growth execution, acting as an on-demand Chief Growth Officer for MSMEs. We take full ownership, from identifying problems to delivering solutions. Our approach de-risks AI adoption through a Staged Validation Model: proof of concept, pilot, rollout, and optimization. We demonstrate early results, building trust quickly by directly tying AI solutions to P&L impact. This means designing and scaling AI-native tech stacks in a modular fashion, with every outcome tied to clear KPIs like revenue growth, cost reduction, or productivity boosts. Our leaner cost structure even shrinks with scale, rather than ballooning.
Agentics’ competitive advantage lies in its unique global-regional-local hybrid model, combining India’s technical expertise with the extensive on-ground execution experience of local leadership in Europe, the Middle East, and APAC. This regional leadership has a proven track record of spearheading large-scale transformations at major IT and consulting firms. We develop and deliver cutting-edge AI growth execution solutions from our India-based delivery hubs. These solutions are customized by our local consulting partners in target markets, who possess decades of hands-on experience solving business problems for MSMEs. They understand regional and local cultural nuances, enabling them to drive impactful and effective transformations.
These elite operators have successfully executed $100 million turnarounds, reduced total cost of ownership by up to 40 percent, and deployed AI at scale long before it became a popular concept. This global-regional-local approach ensures that our solutions are not only technically advanced but also highly relevant to real business pain points on the ground, ranging from supply chain visibility and customer engagement to marketing automation, all while keeping costs lean.
This model maximizes impact and minimizes integration challenges, allowing us to craft solutions directly from identified business needs. Agentics is selective about its clients. Its sweet spot is MSMEs with revenues between $10 million and $600 million in CPG, Retail, DTC, Healthcare, and BFSI across APAC, MEA, and Europe – companies hungry for growth but ignored by the big consultancies. The firm’s short-term goal is to reach $5 million in gross income post-launch, with offices already planned in Amsterdam, Hamburg, Istanbul, Toronto, Buenos Aires, Bangalore, Mumbai, and Delhi, followed by expansion into the Middle East and Africa.
Bootstrapped by design, Agentics is focused on building credibility through execution rather than chasing funding hype. Investment conversations, Srivastava says, will come only after the model has proven itself in the market.
At its core, Agentics blends the precision of boutique advisory with the scale of global execution. It has built a robust ecosystem of AI labs, CX design studios, data specialists, and technology partners to ensure flawless delivery, from model development to deployment. This setup not only helps clients overcome challenges like talent shortages and integration headaches, but also ensures they capture the full business impact of AI adoption, whether that’s reducing defects, improving sustainability, or unlocking entirely new growth opportunities.
The proposition is clear: Agentics doesn’t just advise. It delivers. By standing shoulder-to-shoulder with clients until promised results are achieved as their on-demand Chief Growth Officers, the company is carving out a new category in the consulting space – one where smaller enterprises can access Ferrari-level AI execution without the Ferrari price tag.
The promise that Srivastava and Agentics team delivers 20% to 40% efficiency gains, won’t just transform MSMEs across Europe, Middle East and APAC but will redefine how the mid-market competes and evolves in an AI-driven world.
