Why AI Assurance Is Critical for Applied Intelligence

Mumbai, India, December 31, 2025 – Rohit Kedia, CEO, Xoriant, was recently interviewed by YourStory, India’s leading media platform for startups and entrepreneurs. In this exclusive interaction, Rohit discussed the current state of the AI industry, Xoriant’s strategic acquisitions like TestDevLab, and the company’s unique approach to AI as "Applied Intelligence" amidst a market saturated with hype.

He highlighted that while the pace of AI innovation is rapid, the industry lags in actual application, often delivering "so much AI, yet so little value." Addressing this, Rohit emphasized Xoriant’s strategy of shifting from deterministic software models to probabilistic AI solutions. He detailed how the acquisition of Latvia-based TestDevLab, with its 500 engineers, is critical for solving "AI Assurance" ensuring quality in this new probabilistic era.

The future of IT services, according to Rohit, isn't about "running the old for less" or cutting jobs for productivity. Instead, Xoriant is focused on helping clients build the future by reinventing products and services, transforming the workforce from AI-literate to AI-fluent, and driving holistic value chain transformation.
