Sujit Routray, Co-founder and CEO of Nyukt.AI, has been awarded the prestigious Economic Times Indo Global Leaders Award for Excellence in Deep Tech Innovation and Applied Research. The recognition celebrates his contributions to the advancement of artificial intelligence, particularly in the development and deployment of cutting-edge autonomous multi-agent systems with real-world applications across multiple industries.
In a statement following the award, Routray said, “This honor is not merely a personal milestone, but a celebration of everything we’re building at Nyukt.AI,” dedicating the achievement to “every founder, researcher, and dreamer out there building the future in silence.”
Nyukt.AI has rapidly established itself as a key player in the Agentic AI space, focusing on practical solutions that bridge the gap between theoretical AI and actionable outcomes. Headquartered between Bengaluru and Dubai, the company has worked extensively with government departments in India to enable smarter governance and operational efficiency. It is now actively expanding into the Middle East, with recent collaborations including work with Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), in line with the region’s wider digital transformation agenda.
Earlier this year, Nyukt.AI was recognised as “Startup of the Month” by the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), a testament to its innovative capabilities and the growing relevance of deep-tech startups in the UAE’s evolving tech ecosystem. The award also reinforces the UAE’s role as a magnet for global talent and technology-driven enterprises seeking to shape the future through innovation.
Routray’s recognition by the Economic Times serves not only as a personal accolade but also as a spotlight on the growing community of deep-tech founders and researchers pushing the boundaries of what artificial intelligence can achieve on a global scale.
