Anupam Saha On How Intellibridge is Bridging the AI GAP for Small Businesses
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer just the domain of Silicon Valley giants and sci-fi fantasies—it’s becoming the essential ingredient for small businesses trying to keep their heads above water in a world where tech is king. Gone are the days when AI was some distant, futuristic concept. Today, it’s as accessible as the smartphone in your pocket, and it’s transforming how businesses operate. Imagine a small bakery down the street using AI to predict exactly how much dough to prepare based on weather forecasts and local event schedules. Or a local bookstore that knows what you’re going to buy before you do, thanks to some clever algorithms that make Amazon look like a disorganized garage sale.
Indeed, it’s going to be the companies with AI capabilities that are pulling ahead- and then they’re lapping the competition. So, while everyone else is sweating over how to integrate AI, the smart money is on those who are already figuring out how to monetize it.
But here’s the kicker: while the potential is astronomical, most companies are stuck on the launchpad, frantically searching for the talent they need to get their AI rockets off the ground. According to a 2022 Deloitte survey, a whopping 63% of executives are biting their nails over the shortage of AI-savvy professionals.
So the current sad reality is that while AI promises to level the playing field for everyone, most small and medium sized businesses are stuck on the sidelines, watching the big boys play a game of winner-take-all. Once again, money will continue to go to established money, but then there comes a guy named Anupam Saha.
An established tech entrepreneur originally from Asia, Anupam Saha is the guy who’s decided that enough is enough. Based in the charmingly obscure town of Fairfield, Iowa, Saha isn’t just starting another run-of-the-mill consultancy—he’s launching Intellibridge, a startup that promises to be the bridge between small businesses and the digital revolution. Think of it as the tech-savvy cousin who shows up at your family reunion and teaches you how to use your iPhone properly for the first time.
Saha’s big idea with Intellibridge is to combine advanced ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning, for those not in the know) with the wild frontier of AI and machine learning. His goal? To arm every business, no matter its size, with the tools and know-how needed to not just survive, but thrive in this new, digital-first world. We’re talking about optimizing operations, unlocking innovation, and turning regular employees into tech-savvy ninjas ready to tackle the AI future.
Here’s the thing: traditional business models are already showing their age, and they’re not getting any younger. Legacy ERP systems are creaky, and most businesses are sitting on a mountain of untapped potential in AI and machine learning. Saha knows that to stay competitive, American businesses need to evolve, and fast. Intellibridge is all about giving them the roadmap to do just that—whether it’s by automating the mind-numbing tasks that no one wants to do, or by helping them see insights in their data that they didn’t even know were there.
And don’t think this is just about pushing some fancy new software. Saha’s vision is bigger than that. He’s not just talking about tech for tech’s sake—he’s talking about creating a culture of continuous innovation. It’s about training the next generation of business leaders to think differently, to see technology not as a tool, but as a catalyst for growth and change.
Saha’s journey from Bangladesh’s tech scene to the heart of America’s business world is a testament to his expertise. This guy’s no amateur. From driving profitability at Brain Station 23 PLC in Bangladesh to leading digital transformation projects in the U.S., Saha has the chops to make this work. And as he gears up to launch Intellibridge, he’s bringing a blueprint that could very well redefine how businesses operate in the AI era.
For American companies teetering on the edge of this brave new world, Intellibridge isn’t just a guide—it’s the push they need to leap into the future. With Anupam Saha at the helm, this isn’t just about surviving the AI revolution—it’s about thriving in it, and maybe even having a little fun along the way.
