About Arafath Shaik
63% of AI projects fail because of bad data — not bad AI.(Gartner, 2025)If your AI initiative is underperforming, producing unreliable outputs, or stuck in pilot purgatory — the problem is almost never the model. It is the data feeding it.I have seen this pattern repeatedly across 4 years working hands-on in data quality and governance. Companies invest crores into AI infrastructure, hire data scientists, buy expensive tools — and still fail. Not because their AI strategy is wrong. Because their data foundation was never built to support it.What I DoI am a Data & AI Governance Consultant specializing in helping mid-market companies build AI-ready data foundations.Using the globally recognized DAMA-DMBOK framework, I audit your data environment across 5 critical dimensions:→ Ownership — who is accountable for each dataset?→ Quality — how complete, accurate, and consistent is your data?→ Lineage — can you trace exactly where every number came from?→ Compliance — are you ready for GDPR, DPDP Act, and EU AI Act?→ AI Readiness — if you feed this data into an AI model today, what breaks?You receive a clear Data AI-Readiness Score, a prioritized fix roadmap, and a board-ready report — delivered in 2 weeks.Who I Work WithMid-market companies employees) across:→ Financial Services & Fintech→ Healthcare & Life Sciences→ Retail & E-Commerce→ SaaS & TechnologyTypical clients are Heads of Data, Chief Data Officers, VPs of Engineering, and CTOs who are accountable for AI delivery and need clarity fast.What Changes After Working Together→ You know exactly why your AI is underperforming→ You have a prioritized list of fixes — not a 200-page report nobody reads→ Your team has clear data ownership and accountability→ You can show your board measurable AI readiness progress→ You are protected from regulatory exposure under GDPR, DPDP, and EU AI ActWhy DAMA-DMBOKDAMA-DMBOK is the global standard for data management — recognized by enterprises, regulators, and consulting firms worldwide.
