Deloitte Establishes Asia Pacific Agentic AI CoE in India, Malaysia, and Singapore
Deloitte has officially opened for business the Asia Pacific (AP) Agentic AI Centre of Excellence (CoE) in India, Malaysia, and Singapore, a key milestone in the company's quest to assist organizations to use agentic AI at scale. The new CoE combines over 6,000 regional practitioners, underpinning a pipeline of AI implementations worth over US$1 billion. This effort is closely integrated with Deloitte's Global Agentic Network across North America, Asia Pacific, and EMEA, allowing the firm to offer leading-edge AI-driven solutions across various industries to clients.
Reimagining Work with Human-AI Collaboration
The opening of the AP Agentic AI CoE reflects Deloitte's vision of revolutionizing the workplace through human-AI collaboration. As Sathish Gopalaiah, Deloitte South Asia President of Technology & Transformation, explains, the CoE is a dramatic change from the use of AI for incremental change to enabling it as a driver of comprehensive business transformation. The emphasis is on assisting clients in redesigning processes, adopting autonomous processes, and creating more responsive and adaptive operating models. Deloitte is dedicated to making this transition responsibly, with the AI-driven future being both creative and sustainable.
The CoE will equip businesses with the industry-specific AI tools and technologies at their disposal today, including Deloitte technology stack for Zora AI by Deloitte. This set of digital agents allows businesses to automate and carry out business-critical tasks independently across functions such as finance, procurement, and marketing, achieving speed and accuracy in operations.
