About | AM Consulting Group

A decade before AI had a seat at the table.

Four moments, not a résumé. The judgment behind AM Consulting Group didn't start in 2023.

Quantitative Policy

Before "AI strategy" was a job title

Ankit was an economist at the OECD and the International Energy Agency, authoring the manufacturing chapter of the OECD's Economic Survey of India and building the energy-consumption dataset behind an award-winning IEA database. Rigorous, data-driven analysis: the discipline this work now borrows from, under a different name.

Inside the First Wave

Running data at a scale most "AI-native" teams haven't seen

At Premise Data, he managed 35 country leads across 140+ countries and a quarter-million field installs. Then at Nauto (an actual AI company, not a metaphor), AI stopped being a policy topic and became the product, years before ChatGPT made it a dinner-table word.

Betting Early on Emerging-Market Growth

Commercial and go-to-market systems across Africa and India

At Pngme, a financial-data platform spanning 5 African markets (Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Uganda, and Zambia), he built the commercial and data-governance systems behind its $15M Series A. Then at Alariss, a founding growth role scaling into 11 countries, including 3 VC partnerships closed across India. The same instinct for where technology adoption was headed next, years before "AI strategy" was the term for it.

The Wave Catches Up

Building what everyone else is now trying to buy

Fractional Chief AI Officer work across a 14-company portfolio, including leading AI adoption strategy for Holocene's African climatetech fund, plus an Anthropic-powered agentic sales engine that lifted qualified-lead conversion 3x and cut prospecting time roughly 5x, and co-founding the AI Fluency Standard now used in higher education.

If you've read this far, you're probably wondering whether to talk to me.

Here's the honest version. I'm one operator, not a staffed agency. When you hire AM Consulting Group, you work directly with me, not a deck handed to junior analysts after the kickoff call. I've spent 13+ years across venture, AI strategy, and go-to-market for fintech and cleantech ventures, and I bring that same hands-on judgment to every engagement, from the first call to delivery.

I won't tell you AI changes everything. I'll ask what it changes for you, and if the answer is "less than the hype suggests," I'll say that too.
