Richmond, USA – January 2026 — ITHENA proudly announces its recognition as one of The Most Trusted AI Solution Providers 2025, following its featured cover story in The Enterprise World, a global business magazine showcasing visionary organizations and leaders who shape the future of enterprise innovation.
The Enterprise World is a premier platform for business thought leadership, highttps://theenterpriseworld.com/iot-solution-provider-ithena/hlighting companies that are redefining industries through technology, strategy, and impact. The cover story, titled “Human-Aware AI: How ITHENA is Redefining Industrial Intelligence,” spotlights our unique approach to combining artificial intelligence with human expertise to drive measurable outcomes across manufacturing and connected industries.
This recognition reinforces our mission to make AI practical and ubiquitous, transforming raw industrial data into actionable intelligence through GenAI- and agentic-ready solutions. Led by Founder & CEO Probodh Chiplunkar, alongside Vinayak Kelkar (Vice President – Digital Solutions), Tushar Laghate (Chief Technology Officer), and Ankit Srivastava (Director – Products), we continue to bridge the gap between operational data and real-world impact.
At ITHENA, we believe innovation must be human-aware. Our persona-centric design approach ensures every solution is built for real users, from shop-floor technicians and maintenance managers to operations leaders and supply chain executives. This persona-based innovation accelerates adoption, strengthens return on investment (ROI), and ensures every deployment delivers tangible business value.
ITHENA’s next-generation solutions deliver measurable impact across the industrial value chain:
- Predictive Operations (iMEX): Uses real-time data across the 4Ms (Man, Machine, Methods, Materials) and GenAI to anticipate failures, optimize maintenance, and improve manufacturing KPIs
- Digital Aftermarket (iSERV): Modernizes service with AI-powered diagnostics, connected field workflows, and interactive spare parts commerce, helping OEMs reduce downtime and unlock new revenue streams
- Continuous Improvement (iGEMBA): Brings the Gemba philosophy to life with GenAI-driven workflows, technician co-pilots, and intelligent anomaly insights to enable faster, data-driven operational decisions
The impact of our solutions is already evident across global deployments, including:
- 40% reduction in maintenance costs for a global IVUS equipment manufacturer
- 33% decrease in service costs for a leading electronics brand
- 30% revenue recognition opportunity through digital spare parts sales
- 5-week rapid deployment for a leading composite cans manufacturer
“We don’t build for the art of the probable—we build for the impact of the possible,” said Probodh Chiplunkar, Founder and CEO of ITHENA. Being recognized by The Enterprise World reinforces our commitment to Human-Aware AI, where technology works alongside people to deliver smarter, safer, and more sustainable operations.
At ITHENA, we are guided by our core values of FOCIG—Faith, Ownership, Curiosity, Inclusion, and Glo.cal thinking (global vision with local execution). These values shape our culture, our products, and every customer engagement. We also maintain a strong commitment to innovation, investing approximately 25–30% of annual technology resources in research and development (R&D) across GenAI, Industrial IoT, Digital Twins, and Computer Vision, ensuring our customers stay ahead in a rapidly evolving industrial landscape.
Looking ahead, we are expanding ecosystem partnerships and strengthening GenAI capabilities to support emerging trends such as service-linked commerce, sustainability-first operations, and closed-loop visibility, from machine signals to service and parts management, within a unified platform.
