India’s enterprise AI ecosystem is gaining momentum, and Data Science Wizards (DSW) is emerging as one of the companies drawing attention in the space. The company has been recognised among India’s Top 20 AI Innovators under NPCI’s TokenNXT initiative and has also been shortlisted for the Global Fintech Awards 2026.

The recognition comes as DSW prepares to showcase its Enterprise AI platform, UnifyAI OS, at the Global Fintech Fest (GFF) 2026 in Mumbai. The event, taking place from September 9 to 11, will bring together leaders from banking, financial services, fintech and emerging technology sectors.

A Platform Built for Enterprise AI

Data Science Wizards is the company behind UnifyAI OS, an Enterprise AI Operating System designed to help organisations build, manage, govern and scale artificial intelligence across their operations.

Rather than treating AI as a collection of separate tools or experimental projects, the platform focuses on helping enterprises operate AI as a continuous and integrated system.

DSW will demonstrate the platform live at Global Fintech Fest, showcasing how businesses can deploy and manage AI and Agentic AI systems while maintaining governance, operational control and enterprise ownership.

The company’s approach addresses a growing challenge for enterprises: moving beyond isolated AI pilots and turning artificial intelligence into a scalable part of everyday business operations.

Recognition Under NPCI’s TokenNXT Initiative

One of the biggest highlights for DSW is its selection among India’s Top 20 AI Innovators under TokenNXT, an initiative by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI).

The programme is part of the Bharat AI Zone at Global Fintech Fest 2026 and focuses on identifying companies building AI solutions with practical applications across industries.

As part of the initiative, DSW will showcase UnifyAI OS and demonstrate its potential applications across sectors including banking, insurance and healthcare.

The recognition gives the company an opportunity to present its technology before financial institutions, enterprise leaders, potential clients, partners and investors attending the event.

Moving From AI-Featured to AI-Native

DSW’s larger vision focuses on helping organisations transition from being simply “AI-featured” to becoming truly “AI-native.”

According to the company, the next phase of enterprise AI will require more than adding AI features to existing software. Businesses will need systems capable of supporting AI-driven workflows, decision-making and operations at scale.

At GFF 2026, Sandeep Khuperkar, Founder and CEO of Data Science Wizards, is scheduled to speak on the topic, “From AI-Featured to AI-Native – Looking at Enterprise AI Through a Systems Lens.”

The session will explore how enterprises can create the operational foundation needed to make AI reliable, governed and scalable.

Global Fintech Awards Recognition

DSW has also strengthened its presence in the financial technology ecosystem after being shortlisted for the “Excellence in FinTech – Best InsuranceTech Solution” category at the Global Fintech Awards 2026.

The company is among five shortlisted organisations in the category, recognising innovation at the intersection of insurance and financial technology.

This recognition reflects the growing role of artificial intelligence in transforming how financial institutions and insurance companies manage operations, workflows and customer experiences.

A Growing Moment for Enterprise AI

The dual recognition places Data Science Wizards at an important intersection of AI and fintech innovation in India.

As businesses move beyond experimenting with artificial intelligence, the demand for platforms that can govern, monitor and scale AI systems is expected to grow significantly.

DSW’s presence at Global Fintech Fest and its recognition under NPCI’s TokenNXT initiative highlight the growing importance of Indian companies building infrastructure for the next generation of enterprise AI.
