The award recognises architectural discipline — data lineage, retrieval provenance, and cost-aware inference — as a differentiator in a crowded generative-AI market.
Mumbai, 30 August 2026 — Dr. Anand Fadte, Chief Technology Officer at Aviantos and PieStudy, received the Time Cyber Media Award for AI Leadership and Innovation at a ceremony in Mumbai on 30 August 2026. The award — presented by former Indian cricket captain Sunil Gavaskar — named two products as the basis for the honour: avData, Aviantos’s AI document-intelligence platform, and pieCRM, PieStudy’s agentic customer-relationship-management product.
avData: Bridging the Enterprise Content Estate to Modern AI
avData is Aviantos’s AI-native document-intelligence platform. It is engineered to serve as the foundation layer for enterprise AI applications that reason across unstructured content — contracts, forms, medical records, policy documents, and correspondence.
The judging panel highlighted three architectural choices behind avData:
- Emphasis on Data Lineage: Every AI-derived output can be rigorously traced back to its raw source document.
- Retrieval Provenance: Every retrieved snippet is explicitly attributed to the exact document, page, and paragraph it originated from.
- Cost-Aware Inference: The system dynamically chooses model sizes based on the confidence needed for each decision, rather than constantly calling expensive models.
pieCRM: Rebuilding CRM Around Agents Rather Than Forms
pieCRM is PieStudy’s flagship customer-relationship-management product, featuring an agentic core, WhatsApp-first conversational interaction, account intelligence, and next-best-action prediction.
Traditional CRM was built around forms, fields, and workflows — capture the information, present it to the human, let the human act. pieCRM inverts that model. It is built around agents: reasoning systems that observe conversations, plan interventions, and act inside the CRM on behalf of the sales or customer-success user. The user’s job shifts from manual data-entry to high-level authorisation and coaching.
Shared Architecture as Commercial Advantage
The award citation specifically credited Dr. Fadte’s decision to build pieCRM on the same architectural foundations that underpin avData — the same governance model, the same lineage system, and the same cost-aware inference layer. Aviantos and PieStudy’s wider portfolio, which also includes avHR (HR automation) and avCRM (WhatsApp-first conversational customer engagement), inherits the same foundations.
