Ankur Kothari, co-founder and COO of Automation Anywhere, has been discussing the company's focus on agentic AI and autonomous enterprise capabilities. In interviews around the company's Imagine 2026 conference, he described the current AI landscape as "noisy" and said enterprise leaders are seeking to separate signal from noise, while acknowledging both excitement and exhaustion around the technology. He stated that organizations are combining AI with automation for end-to-end process automation, with some running departments in autonomous or assisted modes. Kothari also said that adoption metrics are shifting beyond efficiency and cost to include risk reduction and revenue growth, citing a law firm customer that launched an agentic tariff advisor as a new revenue stream. Kothari has expressed optimism about India's potential in AI, comparing its position to China's adoption of manufacturing machinery and suggesting India could become a "capital of AI" by combining AI with automation. He has also advocated for a phased approach to digital transformation, recommending that companies start with one department or function to demonstrate impact before scaling, and has emphasized the importance of governance, security, and guardrails in enterprise AI adoption. In earlier appearances, he outlined three approaches to building a digital workforce—starting with a single department, democratizing automation across the organization, or pursuing a broad transformation program—and described the goal of creating a "digital enterprise" where operations and processes are fully digital.
