AI as a Competitive Edge for SMBs Had the opportunity to present to a brilliant group of CEOs at TAB Board 103 in Dallas, with companies representing IT & Managed Services, Healthcare, Real Estate, Product Development, and Marketing. It was indeed a great conversation with some of the leaders driving growth and innovation in Dallas! We explored how AI is becoming a true equalizer for SMBs—enabling small teams to move faster, work smarter, and compete at new levels. Highlights from the session: * Shared case studies of SMBs using AI to accelerate growth, automate workflows, and drive product innovation * Discussed how AI-enabled teams are now shipping multiple products a day using tools like Replit and n8n * 82% of SMBs believe AI is essential to remain competitive * 83% are already using or actively exploring AI in their operations * Embracing a 10X mindset is key—where every employee leverages AI to scale their function * AI adoption is strongest in marketing, customer operations, and sales * Building a small, collaborative innovation team as an AI Center of Excellence can jumpstart momentum * Shared process knowledge and identifying bottlenecks is critical to enabling rapid experimentation and deployment * SMBs can now use their deep domain expertise—paired with accessible AI tools—to create new growth paths that were previously out of reach We also had the chance to present Talentz.ai and received insightful feedback from fellow business leaders on shaping its next phase. Thanks to Joe Palmer for the invitation, and to Reyner Natahamidjaja and the CloudKey team for graciously hosting. It was also wonderful to see real business challenges being dissected and solutions presented by this incredible set of business leaders at the overall session!

A Deep Dive into the Latest Models from an HR tech Point of View 🔍 We analyzed Alibaba’s Qwen2.5, DeepSeek R1, and OpenAI’s O-Series, including GPT-4 variants, to uncover key insights: ✅ Bigger isn’t always better – Smaller models like Claude-3.5 & Mixtral-8x7B rival larger ones in accuracy & efficiency. ✅ Trade-offs matter – O-Series ensures reliability but slows down at higher control levels. ✅ Scalability vs. Performance – DeepSeek’s 7B to 671B models show non-linear gains, making architectural optimization critical. Which AI model do you think strikes the best balance between speed, accuracy, and cost-efficiency? Let’s discuss in the comments! 👇 Muhammed Shaphy Bijith Moopen Akshana Kanappattil Aron Anand Rosna Joby #DeepSeek #Qwen #AI #LLMs #MachineLearning #NLP

Reconnecting with Team PriceSenz India: A day of Energy, Insight, and Inspiration Earlier this week, I had the privilege of reconnecting with the PriceSenz India team on Monday. The energy in the room was undeniable as we came together to celebrate our successes, strengthen our bonds, and share valuable insights. Witnessing our team in action—united, motivated, and driven—underscores the incredible culture we've built. A standout moment was our session with Navas Meeran, Chairman of Group Meeran and former CEO of Eastern Condiments. His remarkable journey with Eastern and the insights he shared on the qualities of a winning team deeply resonated with our core values. His experience is a powerful testament to the impact of vision, strong culture, and perseverance. Our team-building activities were more than just fun—they were a powerful demonstration of our collaborative spirit and shared values. The PriceSenz family is truly building something extraordinary, and I’m excited for what lies ahead. The best is yet to come!
