Why Ajay Now

AI governance is no longer a technical question — it is the defining strategic question for every board in 2026. Ajay Pundhir has spent fifteen years inside the organisations where these decisions get made: Nokia, Samsung, American Express, G42/Presight. His five proprietary frameworks — MVG, PRIME, Trust Premium, The Liability Ledger, and Agentic AI Readiness (A7) — exist because the standard advice was never built for the speed at which AI moves.

Biography

Ajay Pundhir is an AI Strategist and Speaker with 15+ years of experience across four continents — from Nokia and Samsung to American Express and G42/Presight. Creator of five proprietary AI governance frameworks (MVG, PRIME, Trust Premium, Liability Ledger, A7) and builder of the Situation Room — an AI governance intelligence system powered by 1,000+ knowledge chunks.

AI adoption fails not because of flawed technology — it fails because of flawed governance. Ajay's work with C-suite leaders and boards follows from this directly: applying his five proprietary frameworks — MVG, PRIME, Trust Premium, Liability Ledger, and A7 (Agentic AI Readiness) — to evaluate vendors and structure organisation-wide transformation. His Situation Room provides live AI governance intelligence, and the AI Readiness Canvas offers a 5-pillar enterprise assessment. With a continuously expanding library of 55+ published articles spanning regional governance across MENA, Australia, and Europe, he contributes to Forbes Technology Council, the HBR Advisory Council, and the MIT Technology Review Council, and advises AI-first founders through Stanford LEAD.

Ajay is based in Abu Dhabi, UAE, and works with organisations globally. Press enquiries: press@askajay.ai
