No AI buzzword bingo. Just straight answers. We put Bristlecone leaders in the AI Hotseat and asked them some of the questions shaping the conversation around AI. What’s overrated? What’s underrated? What should you never delegate to AI? And what does responsible AI leadership actually look like? Different leaders. Different perspectives. Straight answers. Welcome to the AI Hotseat.

Stronger India–US ties are creating new opportunities for businesses across both markets, and resilient supply chains will be critical to turning that potential into growth. Bristlecone was pleased to be part of the USIBC roundtable in Chicago with Hon. Piyush Goyal, joining conversations around investment, innovation, and cross-market growth. As businesses expand across economies, we’re ready to help build the smarter, more resilient supply chains that growth demands. Anjan Sen #Bristlecone #SupplyChain #USIndia #USIBC

Every company has its own story. Bristlecone’s began in 1998, and in 2004, our story became part of Mahindra’s. On Mahindra’s 81st Founders’ Day, we’re proud to celebrate the history we share, the people who have shaped it, and the opportunity to keep adding to that story together. #MyMahindraStory #MahindraFoundersDay #TogetherWeRise #Bristlecone

Careers don’t always follow a straight line. Sometimes the unexpected turns are where the growth happens. When Ankita Basak joined Bristlecone as a campus hire from the MBA class of 2023, she couldn’t have predicted where the experience would take her. Along the way, she’s taken on different responsibilities, built strong relationships, and found opportunities to learn and grow in new ways. For Ankita, having people she can turn to for guidance, ask questions, and rely on has made a meaningful difference – and helped make Bristlecone a place where she can continue to grow. Thriving Career. Another thread that keeps us #StitchedTogether. #LifeAtBristlecone #CareerGrowth #Bristlecone
