The question is never what AI can do. It's whether a system should exist at all — and what it costs every month to leave that gap unfilled.
From company directories, government regulatory databases, stock exchange filings, court records, and trade portals — built for two of Gujarat's largest industrial associations.
What they manufacture, employee size, and certifications held — ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, GMP, SA 8000 — and whether they are listed on BSE or NSE.
Which companies export, to which of 25+ markets, and which international standards apply to each — EU CBAM, REACH, F-Gas Regulation, CSDDD, RoHS, CE marking, OEKO-TEX.
Every company mapped to applicable Indian laws — EPA, Hazardous Waste Rules, E-Waste EPR mandates, Drugs & Cosmetics Schedule M — and their CPCB pollution category (Red, Orange, Green).
Each company cross-referenced against the National Green Tribunal's public judgment database — historical enforcement actions, environmental compensation orders, show-cause notices.
Turnover estimates, employee counts, and annual report data extracted from company websites and public filings — including BSE/NSE disclosures and MCA records.
A score for each company and sector built from all five layers — so decision-makers can see at a glance which companies are highest-priority for engagement, audit, or action.
Built for Gujarat's FGI and VIA industrial associations. The same system can be built for any manufacturer sector, association, or company cohort across India.
The Process
An idea inside an organisation becomes infrastructure it can rely on. Every system follows the same five steps.
Where does work disappear? Where does knowledge live inside people rather than systems?
What is this system worth if it works — and what does it cost every month to leave the gap unfilled?
Production standard from day one. Not a prototype — infrastructure the organisation can depend on.
Live environment, real use, real data from the first day it runs.
Interfaces, workflows, and documentation — so the team uses it without depending on me.
Selected Works
A selection of systems built and deployed. The intelligence dashboard work is described in full above.
Custom intelligence dashboards covering 595 Gujarat industrial companies across FGI and VIA — two of Gujarat's largest industrial associations. Built from public data: company directories, NGT judgment databases, BSE/NSE filings, MCA records, CPCB/GPCB data, and trade portals. Six intelligence layers per company: operational signals, export markets, Indian regulatory exposure, enforcement history, financial signals, and composite risk score.
Identifies funding opportunities, evaluates alignment, and generates structured proposal drafts from existing programme documentation.
LiveMobile-first evaluation tool for community programmes across many locations. Works offline; results sync to a central dashboard.
ActiveTransforms field reports and internal documentation into structured communication outputs, reducing manual editing cycles.
OperationalOrganises long-form writing and institutional knowledge into structured, searchable content with tagging and publishing workflows.
OperationalConversational AI for executive coaching — structured reflection, goal tracking, and personal development through dialogue and journaling.
In DevelopmentManufacturers & Industrial Companies — Featured System
A system that maps every regulatory obligation a manufacturer faces — Indian and international — and holds it in one place instead of five scattered teams.
Most manufacturers I have spoken to manage compliance through a combination of consultants, internal reminders, and memory. The GPCB consent renewal is tracked in one spreadsheet. The NGT obligations are with the legal team. The EU REACH registration for the export division is handled by someone who joined two years ago and may leave next year.
The intelligence exists. It is just not connected into anything a leadership team can see at once.
I build compliance intelligence systems that map a company's full regulatory profile — what laws apply, what certifications are held, when renewals are due, what enforcement history exists in public records, and what international standards apply to each export market. All of it in a single dashboard, updated from public data sources.
It starts with a Company Intelligence Audit — an assessment of your current compliance picture built from public data. What your regulatory exposure looks like. Where the gaps are. Before any commitment is made.
Describe your situation →Civil Society & Institutional Leadership — Featured System
A system that maps who a leader should meet in any city before they land — and prepares the case for why that meeting matters.
Most institutional leaders travel to major cities and return without having met the people who matter most. Not because the meetings weren't possible. Because no one mapped the city before the flight.
The leader inputs their destination and the organisation's thematic priorities. Within seconds, the system surfaces the highest-value organisations headquartered in that city — their current programme cycles, the right person to approach, and a suggested opening that reflects the organisation's actual work and track record.
For a large civil society organisation managing field programmes across multiple states, this turned every leadership visit into a structured fundraising opportunity. The preparation that used to take a week — if it happened at all — now happens before the bags are packed.
The system does not replace relationship-building. It does the reconnaissance that makes relationship-building possible. Every city. Every trip.
"I have 469 member companies. I have never seen their regulatory exposure all mapped in one place before."
Said by an industrial association president on seeing the FGI dashboard. Built in two weeks.
What does this cost every month to leave unfilled? — That is the economist's question. Once the number is real, the build decision is straightforward.
Regulatory intelligence dashboards, sector maps, competitor tracking, export intelligence platforms. Built from public records, regulatory databases, trade portals, and financial filings.
CPCB/GPCB compliance calendars, NGT tracking, renewal alerts, export certification trackers, Schedule M audit readiness dashboards. One view instead of five scattered files.
AI-searchable knowledge bases from SOPs, past proposals, procedures, and internal documents. When someone leaves, the knowledge stays. When someone joins, the onboarding is half the time.
Grant pipelines, procurement tracking, reporting automation, document generation workflows. Work that takes five days of manual effort now runs overnight. Production standard from day one.
Custom sector maps from trade data, MCA filings, import/export records, and company databases. Know who is exporting what, to which markets, with which certifications — before you walk into a negotiation.
Every engagement begins with an honest assessment: is there a system worth building here, and what does it cost to leave this gap unfilled every month?
For Manufacturers, Associations & Industrial Companies
Most manufacturers and associations we work with have an intelligence gap somewhere — a regulatory exposure that hasn't been mapped, an export market that isn't being tracked, a compliance calendar distributed across four different teams.
The first step is a Company Intelligence Audit: an honest assessment of what public data says about your regulatory posture, export profile, and compliance exposure — built before any commitment is made.
The assessment is short, specific, and costs nothing. What you get is a clear picture of where the system should exist — and what it costs every month to leave it unfilled.

I was trained as an economist. My work has always focused on understanding how value moves through systems — why some processes create value efficiently while others waste time, effort, or knowledge.
Over time I began noticing that many organisational problems are structural rather than strategic. Important work often depends on one person being available, or on manual processes that repeat the same steps again and again.
Artificial intelligence and modern software tools make it possible to build systems that handle this work reliably and at scale.
Economics helps identify where a system should exist.
AI makes it possible to build it.
What I do, in plain terms: design and build AI-human integrated systems — trying to leverage my economics understanding of frameworks, systems, and value.
That is what Vasuman Associates is built around.
