About Raj Pillai
Enterprise AI is a people problem. Most companies are solving the wrong half of it. They spend millions on tools and almost nothing on the people strategy that makes those tools actually work. The best talent starts questioning their future. The employer brand falls apart quietly. That\'s the gap I work in. At The Talent Branders I help companies in manufacturing, GCCs, and mid-market India build employer brands that are honest, activated, and built for the AI age — not just a deck that impresses in a boardroom and disappears after. Through Infiwrite I work with enterprises deploying AI in regulated industries where the human and cultural dimensions of adoption matter as much as the technology. 20 years across Maersk, InMobi, and my own ventures have shown me one pattern repeatedly — organisations that put people at the centre of transformation win. The ones that don\'t, struggle expensively. I write about what\'s actually happening in enterprise AI at Beneath the Abstraction. 1,800 subscribers, no hype. If you\'re competing for talent or navigating AI transformation, let\'s talk.
