Lucknow, 20

March (HS): While enterprises worldwide pour billions into AI infrastructure, a

critical disconnect remains: companies are buying the technology, but their

workforce isn't using it effectively. To solve this ‘Literacy Gap’,

AI&Beyond, a pioneer in enterprise AI literacy, today announced the

appointment of Archana Muthappa as Co-Founder & Chief Operating Officer

(COO).

Archana

joins at a pivotal moment. As AI shifts from a boardroom buzzword to an

operational necessity, organisations are realising that real ROI doesn't come

from casual ChatGPT prompts, but from embedded, everyday workflows. AI &

Beyond has spent the last 18 months proving this, transforming hesitant

employees into ‘10X employees’ across 45+ enterprises globally.

Archana

brings nearly three decades of experience in high-stakes Communications,

Strategy, and Business Transformation. In her new role, she will operationalise

AI&Beyond’s mission to scale – moving organisations beyond sporadic

training into learning that is sustained, culture-shifting and capability enhancing.

Bindra, Co-founder & CEO, AI & Beyond, commented: The First Law

of AI Literacy states that while not everyone needs to be an AI expert,

everyone must be AI literate. But scaling that literacy across thousands of

employees requires operational rigour, not just technical know-how. Archana

understands the human side of transformation better than anyone. Her expertise

is the missing link as we scale from conducting bootcamps to architecting

full-scale organisational change.

Archana’s

appointment underscores the company’s unique Human-in-the-Loop

philosophy. She will oversee operations, programme delivery, and the expansion

of the company’s flagship literacy models, ensuring that as AI scales, ethical

governance and human judgment remain central.

Anuj

Magazine, Co-founder & CTO, AI & Beyond, added: Bridging the gap

between AI investment and business outcomes isn't a code problem; it’s a

challenge of AI literacy. We build the 'software' for the human mind to work

with AI. Archana’s leadership allows us to deliver this cognitive upgrade

consistently and reliably to enterprises that are tired of seeing their AI

pilots stall.

Archana

Muthappa, Co-Founder & COO, AI & Beyond, said: AI is

fundamentally reshaping the definition of work, but its true power lies in

accessibility. It cannot remain the domain of the few; it must become the

superpower of the many. I am thrilled to join Jaspreet and Anuj to enable

organisations move beyond the hype. At AI&Beyond, we aren't just teaching

tools; we are building the confidence and capability for the workforce of the

future.

AI &

Beyond is an AI Literacy firm built on the premise that enterprise AI

investments will fail without a literate workforce. Through tailored Bootcamps,

Boardroom Briefings, and their signature AI Literacy-as-a-Service (LaaS) model,

they help organisations across a variety of industries, including BFSI,

Infrastructure, Manufacturing, Defense, and IT Services bridge the gap between

technology and talent.
