About the Author
Dr. Harish
Kotadia, Ph.D.
Certified Anthropic AI / Agentic Systems Architect · 18+ years · Fortune 500 transformation
He didn’t pivot to AI. He arrived here through every wave that made it possible.
Two decades inside the engine room of enterprise technology — not as an observer, but as architect, strategist, and hands-on builder.
His career began in the early 2000s with large-scale CRM and ERP programs for Fortune 10 financial services clients, where he led 200-person delivery teams and built data foundations many of those institutions still run on today. From there, he moved through every major wave of enterprise technology that followed.

What sets the work apart
The architect
Deep, hands-on architecture across CRM, data, cloud, and now multi-agent systems — orchestration patterns, latency, guardrails, observability.
The Ph.D. in marketing
Doctoral research on customer satisfaction, built on regression modeling and SPSS before “data scientist” was a job title.
That dual lens forces the question pure engineers tend to skip: does this deliver measurable value to the business — and how will a board read the case?
Recent work — in production
Regulated power utility
On-prem generative AI platform
Meta’s Llama deployed under strict data-sovereignty and NERC compliance constraints — a RAG Field Technician Copilot and a Regulatory Correspondence Assistant that reshaped how the utility works with crews and government bodies.

End-to-end agentic system
Claude as the core reasoning engine, multi-agent orchestration through MCP, human-in-the-loop review consoles, and audit-grade observability designed in from day one.

Why this blog exists
Agentic AI is the most consequential shift in enterprise technology since the cloud — and most of what is written about it is either too academic or too shallow to act on. This blog is written for the people who have to decide: CIOs, CTOs, enterprise architects, consultants, and product leaders weighing real deployments against real budgets and real risk.
Every post is grounded in what has actually been built — the mistakes made, and the patterns that held up when the stakes were high. If you are serious about agentic AI in the enterprise, you are in the right place.
