01 — Why now
AI in Odisha moved from plan to practice
Odisha’s AI Policy 2025 and the Odisha AI Mission are now actively funding and running AI across government. A ₹122.6 crore programme is bringing AI-enabled workflows to thousands of government offices. The state’s target is to train 75% of its government workforce in AI by 2029. And from the 2026–27 academic year, AI and computational thinking are compulsory in CBSE schools from Class 3. Businesses and institutions that move now set the terms.

Schools now must teach it
The CBSE Computational Thinking & AI curriculum is mandatory from Class 3, AY 2026–27. Most schools lack trained staff.
Industry is in the middle of it
Odisha’s steel, mining, manufacturing and MSME base is adopting AI for dispatch, quality, energy and logistics.
02 — Track record
Nineteen years of solving business problems — now with AI
Nineteen years of business work — then AI applied to it.
Utkal AI is led by Debidatta Kajal Kumar, who has worked across many different businesses since 2007, long before AI became the phrase on every boardroom agenda. Finding the real problem in an organisation is not a technology exercise, it is a business exercise — we have done the business part for 19 years. Based in Bhubaneswar, working across Odisha and beyond with government bodies, businesses and institutions.
Debidatta Kajal Kumar
Founder · Utkal AI · Bhubaneswar
Every engagement starts the same way: understand how the organisation actually makes and loses money, then decide whether AI is even the right answer. Sometimes it is. Sometimes a cheaper fix comes first. Saying so is why clients keep working with us.

Four ways we work with you
Every engagement is shaped to the organisation in front of us. These are the four things we do most.
01
AI consulting
You know AI matters but not what it should change first.
- Use-case identification across your real operations
- An honest, costed roadmap — including where AI is not the answer
- Vendor and tool selection that fits your budget
02
Government projects
Public-sector AI has to survive audit, handover and scale — not just a demo.
- Consulting aligned to Odisha’s AI Mission and policy direction
- Proof-of-concept → pilot → scale, documented
- Capacity building for officers built into the handover
03
AI education & training
Your people cannot use what they have not been taught.
- A full ladder: children → school students → graduates → working professionals
- Built for the CBSE AI mandate now in force
- Practical and role-based, not theoretical
04
Implementation management for ROI at minimum cost
Most consultants leave after the report. The value is in what keeps working after they go.
- We identify the specific problem, then own the implementation
- Cost-managed: the cheapest route that actually works
- We stay until it returns measurable value

04 — AI training
Children · roughly Classes 3–8
School students · Classes 6–12
Graduates & final-year students
Working professionals
AI training from Class 3 to the boardroom
We teach AI to whoever is in front of us — a child meeting the idea for the first time, a student who needs it for placement, or a professional whose job is changing underneath them.
Tier 1 · roughly Classes 3–8Children
Logical thinking, patterns and responsible use — taught through activity and play.
Tier 2 · Classes 6–12School students
The CBSE CT-AI curriculum delivered, with teacher training so it continues.
Tier 3 · final-yearGraduates
Project-based, practical skills that make a graduate employable.
Tier 4 · at workWorking professionals
Applied AI for the job you already do — trained by role, on real tasks.
For children: AI literacy, from Class 3
The CBSE Computational Thinking & AI curriculum is now mandatory from Class 3. For this age the goal is not coding — it is logical thinking, pattern recognition, problem-solving and responsible use, learned through activity, puzzles and play.
For school students: the curriculum, delivered properly
For Classes 6–8 the CBSE curriculum adds foundational AI concepts, ethics and project work. We deliver the programme, and we train your teachers so it continues without us.
For graduates: skills that get hired
Employers now assume AI literacy. We build the practical, project-based skills — and the confidence to use them — that make a graduate employable in an AI-shaped market.
For working professionals: applied AI for your actual job
Managers, finance, operations, teachers, officers and technical teams need AI for the work they already do — not a computer-science degree. We train by role, on real tasks, in the least time that produces competence.

05 — Process
How we work
Same discipline every time, whether it is a shop floor in Cuttack or a department in Bhubaneswar.
01
Understand
We sit with your team and look at how the organisation really runs — where money leaks, where time is lost, where people are overloaded.
02
Diagnose
We name the specific problem, and say plainly whether AI is the right fix — or whether a cheaper one comes first.
03
Design
A costed implementation plan: what gets built, what it costs to run, and what it should return. Minimum cost to reach the outcome, not maximum spend.
04
Implement
We put the system in, train the people who will use it, and manage the rollout through the hard middle where projects usually stall.
05
Prove & hand over
We measure against the original problem. We stay until it works; then we make sure your team can keep it working.

08 — Questions
Questions
What does an AI consultant in Bhubaneswar actually do?
We look at how your organisation runs, find the specific problem worth solving, then implement an AI-based fix and manage it until it returns value. That can be as small as automating a manual process, or as large as training a whole department to use AI well.
How do you decide whether AI is right for my business?
We do not assume it is. We look at your operations, find where value leaks, and choose the cheapest effective fix. If that is not AI, we say so.
Do you work with government bodies?
Yes. We consult on government projects and build the documentation and officer training that public-sector AI needs to survive audit and scale.
What AI training do you offer?
Training across the full range: children from Class 3 aligned to the CBSE AI curriculum, school students, graduates, and working professionals.
Do you offer AI training for schools preparing for the CBSE CT-AI curriculum?
Yes. We deliver the curriculum content and train your teachers so the programme continues independently.
How much does AI consulting cost?
It depends on the problem, and we work to minimum cost rather than a fixed package. Engagements start with a consultation and a written scope.
Are you based in Bhubaneswar? Do you work elsewhere in Odisha?
We are based in Bhubaneswar and work across Odisha, with on-site work in and around the city and remote delivery elsewhere.
How do we start?
Book a consultation. We will spend a short conversation understanding your problem, and tell you honestly whether and how we can help.
