India’s AI Leap: ParamNetwork Introduces ‘ai/studio’

Bangalore – ParamNetwork today announced the global launch of ⦃param⦄ ai/studio, India’s first enterprise-grade Agentic AI platform designed to meet the complex requirements of modern enterprises. Developed entirely in India, ai/studio allows organizations to build, deploy, and manage sophisticated Agentic AI workflows with enterprise-level security, governance, and scalability.

Mr. Vaideeswaran Sethuraman, Founder of ParamNetworks 

Unlike platforms that evolved from consumer applications and were later repurposed for business use, ai/studio has been engineered from the ground up with a distributed architecture that includes redundancy, advanced security controls, and full-spectrum governance. The platform is built to integrate seamlessly into existing enterprise environments.

“Enterprise AI adoption requires more than just powerful algorithms—it demands reliability, explainability, and alignment with existing architecture,” said Vaideeswaran Sethuraman, Founder of ParamNetwork. “Our ai/studio addresses these needs through a composable system built to work across enterprise tools, workflows, and compliance frameworks.

The platform is powered by three proprietary technologies developed by ParamNetwork: L⚡RAG, a next-generation retrieval augmented generation engine that processes structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data for faster and more accurate insights. Quantum Minds, a low-code prompt programming tool equipped with pre-built agentic operators; and MCP Streams, a model-agnostic integration layer based on Model Context Protocol, capable of connecting to multiple data sources and compatible with any large language model of the user’s choice.

With this architecture, ai/studio offers complete model flexibility, secure enterprise data integration without duplication, responsible AI features including explainability and audit trails, and deployment options across public cloud, VPC, or on-premises environments. Internal benchmarks indicate a 40 to 60 percent reduction in computational resource consumption compared to traditional approaches, delivering significant cost efficiencies while meeting enterprise-grade performance standards.

ai/studio has already been deployed in production across multiple industries. Among the early adopters is the Aditya Birla Group. Rahul Chopade, Head of Digital at UltraTech Cement, noted, “ai/studio is transforming how we analyze operational data. Its ability to connect patterns across structured and unstructured sources helped us identify specific fuel quality variations affecting production efficiency. Most importantly, it puts powerful analytics directly into the hands of our operations team, enabling faster decisions and a culture of data-driven operations.”

Dr. Gokul Dharani, CEO of 3Analytics, a Silicon Valley-based startup, highlighted its impact on regulated sectors, stating, “Leveraging ParamNetwork’s ai/studio enables pharmaceutical and medical device companies to reduce the time and cost associated with compliance. We are also seeing its potential to transform clinical operations by accelerating time-to-market and reducing the cost of clinical trials.”

Built around a collaborative intelligence framework, ai/studio ensures that AI systems work alongside human expertise in defined workflows. This human-in-the-loop design prioritizes accountability and oversight, positioning the platform not just as a tool for automation, but as an engine for decision intelligence.

As a comprehensive generative AI environment for ETL, business intelligence, and intelligent automation, ai/studio delivers real-world solutions—not experimental capabilities. It features stakeholder-specific interfaces to support business users, data scientists, compliance teams, and executives, providing appropriate control and visibility across the AI lifecycle.

ParamNetwork’s latest offering is a natural extension of its broader mission. The company has spent six years perfecting secure, decentralized data solutions that support seamless collaboration across organizational boundaries. With ai/studio, ParamNetwork turns static data ecosystems into dynamic intelligence engines, enabling businesses to extract strategic value from previously siloed information.

By combining scalable architecture, secure data handling, and AI innovation, ParamNetwork enables organizations to deploy intelligent solutions with complete confidence in data governance and sovereignty. Through ai/studio, the company is delivering TCO-driven transformation and redefining how enterprises use data to create sustainable competitive advantage.
