Ascentt's Nilesh Vyas on Microtransformation at Toyota
How do you transform a supply chain that spans continents and decades of legacy systems — without pausing it for a multi-year programme?
Nilesh Vyas, Founder & CEO of Ascentt, explains the microtransformation approach that helped Toyota extend demand forecasting from a three-month cycle to a full 52-week view, improve forecast accuracy, and build a Global Demand Forecasting platform now scaling beyond supply chain into manufacturing.
Ascentt started as a data solutions company 16 years ago and evolved into an enterprise AI partner for Fortune 100 manufacturers. Today, with more than 150 AI models in production and 50,000 daily users on its platform, the company works alongside hyperscalers and leading data platforms to deliver AI that runs inside the enterprise ecosystem not alongside it.
In this interview, Nilesh discusses why most enterprise AI programmes fail to scale, how Ascentt's partnership with Toyota was built on proving value in weeks rather than quarters, and why microtransformation is becoming the way global manufacturers deploy AI.
