Operaonal Resilience with AI, Intelligence, and Scale

Every organizaon will face disrupon. Most will eventually recover. But the real queson is-how fast, how intelligently, and how seamlessly can that recovery happen? That's where Perpetuui makes the difference. Even if your systems go down or your teams are unreachable, our plaorm ensures your services stay up, your customers stay connected, and your reputaon stays intact.

TheAIDisruptorWhoThinksLikeaGuardian

Inaworldwheredisruptionisnolongerarareeventbuta recurring reality, business leaders are rethinking what it means to be resilient Among the vanguard is Rohil Sharma,thevisionaryCEOandCo-founderofPerpetuuiti, whose mission goes far beyond boardroom goals. He sees operationalresiliencenotjustasacompetitiveedge—butasa nationalsecurityandeconomicimperative

"Businesscontinuityisnolongeracompliancecheckbox it’sa survival skill," Rohil shares “When you consider the domino effect of disruptions from natural disasters to cyberattacks—it becomes clear that operational resilience mustbeembeddedintotheDNAofeveryenterprise.”

Rohil,featuredonthismonth’scoverofThe10MostInfluential LeadersShapingtheFutureofBusiness,2025,isatechnologist at heart and a strategist by vision. With co-founder Sundar Raman, he built Perpetuuiti from the ground up with one purpose:to intelligently automate resilience at scale using thetransformativepowerofAI.

AVisionRootedinUrgencyandPurpose

Morethanadecadeago,RohilSharmaidentifiedasilentcrisis unfolding across enterprise landscapes a dangerous gap betweenwrittencontinuityplansandreal-worldresilience Whilebusinessesbelievedtheywerepreparedfordisruption, most had nothing more than outdated manuals and spreadsheetscollectingdust.

“Disruption doesn’t wait for approvals or checklists,” Rohil notes “Inthemomentofcrisis,youneedsystemsthatthink,act, andrecover autonomouslyandinstantly.”

That bold thinking led to the birth of Perpetuuiti, and the developmentofitsflagshipproduct,ContinuityPatrol™ an AI-enabled Operational Resilience Automation Platform designed to monitor complex digital environments, orchestrate intelligent failover, and enable single-click recovery of critical services across hybrid infrastructures without human intervention Rohil didn’t just see the future—he engineered the infrastructure for it.And in doing so, he redefined how organizations prepare for the unexpected.

TheImperativeofResiliencein2025

In today’s hyper-connected world, disruption has become the default nottheexception Fromcyberattacksandransomware incidentstoinfrastructureoutagesandgeopoliticalinstability, the threats facing enterprises have intensified both in frequencyandimpact.AccordingtoGartner,by2026,70% ofCEOswillmandateacultureofoperationalresilienceto survive simultaneous threats from cybercrime, supply chain instability, and geopolitical pressures. Meanwhile, cyberattackstargetingcriticalinfrastructurehavesurged byover45%globallyinjustthepastyear

Againstthisbackdrop,operationalresiliencehasemergedas anationalsecurityandeconomicimperative Governments andregulatorsarerespondingswiftly.IntheEuropeanUnion, the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is enforcingstringentstandardsforICTriskmanagementacross financialinstitutions.IntheUnitedStates,directivesfromthe SEC, Federal Reserve, OCC, and NIST emphasize resilience, incident response, and continuity planning not as reactivestrategies—butascoretenetsofsystemicintegrity InIndia,theReserveBankofIndia(RBI)hasstrengthened its digital supervision frameworks, placing heightened emphasis on operational resilience, cyber incident response, and business continuity readiness across the financial ecosystem.

“Regulators across the world are aligning with what we ’ ve been saying for years resilience can no longer be an afterthought It must be built-in, intelligent, and continuous,” says Rohil Sharma. “And it’s no longer just IT’s responsibility it’s a shared executive concern. At Perpetuuiti, our mission is to make that transition seamless, smart,andscalable.”

This shift is not just about compliance it’s about survival Businesses must now prove they can operate through disruption,notjustrecoverfromit.

DeliveringAutonomousOperationalResilienceatScale

Perpetuuiti stands at the forefront of a global transformation, redefining operational resilience through AI-powered automation, agentic intelligence, and intelligent failover orchestration Its AI-enabled Operational Resilience Automation Platform enables organizations to shift from reactive recovery models to predictive and autonomous continuity,wheredisruptionsarerapidlyidentified,response paths are orchestrated automatically, and critical operations continuewithminimalinterruption.

Enterprises leveraging Perpetuuiti’s intelligent platform have achievedupto80%reductioninRecoveryTimeObjectives (RTOs), with 50% lower operating costs, and significant improvements in compliance readiness. The platform’s intelligent architecture allows for 1-click invocation of failover processes across complex enterprise environments empowering uninterrupted business continuitywithoutmanualinterventionordelay

By aligning its offerings with regulatory frameworks such as DORA, NIST 800-53/800-160, and the SEC’s new cybersecurity disclosure mandates, Perpetuuiti is enabling criticalserviceproviderstoembedresilienceintotheirdigital DNA. In Rohil’s words, “Our mission isn’t just to protect infrastructure—it’s to fortify the confidence that economies, governments, and people place in the systems they rely on everyday.”

Serving Critical Sectors, Protecting National Infrastructure

Today,PerpetuuitiservesFortune500companiesandmissioncritical sectors banks, insurance companies, government agencies, oil and gas, utilities, manufacturing, and more all of which form the bedrock of national infrastructure.

Inthebankingsector,whereregulatoryscrutinyisintenseand uptimeisnon-negotiable,Perpetuuitihelpsinstitutionsnotonly meet frameworks like DORA and the RBI’s operational resilience mandates, but also operate with predictive incident readiness Major banks leveraging the platform have reduced disruption response time, maintained uninterrupted access to digital services, and enhanced trust amongregulatorsandcustomersalike.

Inoil&gasandenergy,wherephysicalanddigitalsystemsare deeply intertwined, the platform ensures uninterrupted operations—even in the face of cyberattacks or critical infrastructure outages. This prevents cascading failures that canaffectnationalenergysupplychainsandpublicservices.

Government bodies and utilities use Perpetuuiti to build resilience into citizen-facing services, ensuring critical functions like transport, healthcare systems, and emergency servicesremainavailable—especiallyduringcrises.

Acrosssectors,theresultsaremeasurable:dramaticreduction indowntime,fasterfailoverexecution,increasedregulatory confidence,andlowereconomicriskexposure Butbeyond metrics, the true value lies in ensuring people, cities, and economies continue functioning even when the unexpectedhappens.

“In today’s AI-driven world, resilience isn’t optional it’s a survival strategy,” says Rohil “Every organization will face disruption Most will eventually recover But the real question is—howfast,howintelligently,andhowseamlesslycanthat recovery happen? That’s where Perpetuuiti makes the difference. Even if your systems go down or your teams are unreachable,ourplatformensuresyourservicesstayup,your customersstayconnected,andyourreputationstaysintact.”

Real-WorldImpact:ResilienceWhereItMattersMost

Across industries and geographies, Perpetuuiti’s platform has been at the center of mission-critical resilience transformations. For one of the largest airlines in North America, Perpetuuiti enabled a zero-downtime environment, reducing Recovery Time Objectives by 83% and sustaining over 1000 days without IT-related flight cancellations By automating more than 80 critical applications and reducing disaster recovery manpower from 50 to just 5, the airline dramatically increased operational efficiencyandcontinuity.

In the Middle East, a leading telecom provider struggling to maintainresilienceacrossasprawlingITinfrastructureturned to Perpetuuiti’sAI-enabled platform. By leveraging Agentic AI and intelligent orchestration, the provider achieved real-time visibility, reduced RTO by 70%, and enabled seamless, single-click recovery all while ensuring complianceandmaintaininguninterruptedservicetomillions ofcustomers.

Meanwhile, a major global communications enterprise used Perpetuuiti’splatformtoautomateandfortifytheir

that, we protect livelihoods, trust, and the connuity of everyday life.

continuity posture, achieving an 80% reduction in RTOs during critical outages. The result: uninterrupted connectivity,millionssavedinavoideddowntimelosses,and reinforcedpublictrustinessentialinfrastructure.

These transformations go beyond business continuity they reflect a growing national and economic imperative: to ensure that critical services remain operational no matter the threat Whether it's enabling flight safety, powering communications, or supporting public infrastructure, Perpetuuiti's impact is measured not just in minutes of uptime—but in the confidence of nations, the safety of systems,andtheresilienceofsocietyitself.

FromReactiveRecoverytoAutonomousResilience

Traditional business continuity and recovery has been largely reactive responding after a disruption, restoring operations, and attempting to return to normal. But in an era defined by

relentless digital dependency and threat complexity, this approach is no longer sufficient. Perpetuuiti is reshaping thatmindsetwithashifttowardautonomousoperational resilience—amodelbuiltnotjusttorecover,buttoanticipate, prevent,andadaptinrealtime.

ModerncomplexITecosystemsdemandagility,foresight,and automation to recover from disruptions effectively and the same can be achieved through adoption of Autonomous Resiliency frameworks and solutions. Perpetuuiti’s AIenabled Operational Resiliency Automation Platform continuously monitors hybrid infrastructure environments, identifies anomalies as they emerge, and orchestrates response w

continuity even amid unexpected challenges By integrating advanced technologies like machine learning, predictive analytics, and intelligent failover, the platform enablesproactiveresiliencethatevolveswitheachnewrisk landscape.

This transformative approach moves organizations from dependencyonmanualrecoverytoanintelligent,self-healing resiliencearchitecture It’snotjustaboutbouncingback—it’s about staying ahead of disruption and ensuring business continuitybydesign,notbychance.

As operational resilience becomes essential to safeguard economiesandcriticalinfrastructure,Perpetuuiti’sautonomous framework empowers enterprises to minimize financial impact,protectreputations,andupholdcustomertrust—no matterwhatunfolds.

“Operational resilience isn’t just about recovering after something breaks it’s about being ready before it does,” says RohilSharma “ToquoteStevenCyros,‘Whendisasterstrikes, the time to prepare has passed.’ That’s why we built a frameworkthatenablesorganizationstoreactswiftly,recover intelligently, and protect what matters most—before the impactisevenfelt.”

ScalingInnovation,ExpandingRelevance

Perpetuuiti is in a strategically significant phase of growth marked not just by market expansion, but by risingglobalrelevanceintheageofsystemicandsovereign resilience.Overthepastdecade,thecompanyhasbecomethe partner of choice for 9 of the top 10 listed enterprises, delivering AI-powered automation for IT and cyber recoveryacrosshighlyregulatedandmission-criticalsectors.

Internally, the company continues to invest aggressively in R&D,cross-bordertalent,andstrategicalliancestokeepits platform at the forefront of resilience innovation. With a dedicated Innovation Lab, the roadmap is focused on zerotouch recovery, AI-led threat anticipation, multi-cloud failover orchestration, and intelligent compliance automation—alldeliveredwithinaunifiedecosystem.

Already firmly established across Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and North America, Perpetuuiti is now scaling its next chapter of growth: building a globally consistent operational fabric that enables organizations to anticipate,withstand,andadapttoanydisruption—with intelligenceandspeed

“We're not just expanding markets we're expanding impact,” says Rohil Sharma. “As resilience becomes a boardroom and national agenda, Perpetuuiti is proud to be helping both enterprises and economies safeguard continuity, trust, and long-termstability.”

AIforGood:TheBroaderImpactofResilience

Operational resilience is no longer just a business function it’s a public imperative. Inahyper-digitalworld, thefailureofasinglesystemcanripplethroughsupplychains, financial markets, healthcare networks, and essential citizen services Whether it’s ensuring uninterrupted access to banking,stabilizingutilityoperationsduringcyberattacks,or maintaining airport safety during IT outages, Perpetuuiti’s work has far-reaching consequences beyond the enterprise.

The company’s solutions have helped prevent service blackouts, minimize financial disruption, and protect the everydaydigitalexperiencesthateconomiesandcommunities rely on. In sectors where downtime affects not just revenue but lives and livelihoods, operational resilience becomes a powerfulequalizer.

“Resilienceisjusticeindisguise,”saysRohil.“Becausewhena hospital, bank, or public utility goes down, it’s the most vulnerablewhosufferthemost.”

This conviction underpins Perpetuuiti’s broader mission: to ensure that resilience is not just a technical capability but a fundamentalsafeguardofpublictrust.Byenablingcritical industries and infrastructure to remain operational during crises, the company plays a quiet yet vital role in protecting economicstability,publicsafety,anddigitalconfidencein anincreasinglyunpredictableworld.

By protecting public services and enabling digital continuity, Perpetuuiti’s work also aligns with broader ESG goals—minimizing societal disruption, enhancing digital governance,andpromotingresponsibleinnovation.
