How to Choose the Right AI Automation Partner in India
Not all AI vendors are equal. Use this expert checklist — built from 200+ Indian deployments — to select a partner who delivers real results, not promises.
Evaluate MNB Research →The 8-Point Vendor Checklist
✅ 1. Proven Indian Deployments
Ask for case studies from your industry and city tier. Offshore experience doesn't equal Indian SME expertise.
✅ 2. No-Lock-in Pricing
Avoid vendors who demand 3-year contracts before proof of value. Insist on pilot-first models.
✅ 3. Domain Knowledge
Your partner should understand your industry's compliance, workflows, and seasonal patterns — not just generic RPA.
✅ 4. Post-Go-Live Support
AI systems drift. Ensure SLA-backed monitoring, retraining schedules, and local support teams.
✅ 5. Data Security & Compliance
Check for ISO 27001, DPDPA readiness, and on-premise deployment options for sensitive data.
✅ 6. Measurable KPIs
Any partner worth hiring will agree on specific KPIs — cycle time, error rate, cost — before the project starts.
✅ 7. Vernacular & Local Support
Can they support your team in Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, or Marathi? Local language support matters for adoption.
✅ 8. Transparent Roadmap
You should see a phased delivery plan with milestones, not a vague "we'll figure it out" approach.
