SPNX Consulting is named the winner of a Silver Stevie® Award in the Award for Excellence in Innovation in AI Strategy & Implementation – Organizations with 100 or More Employees category in the 13th annual Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards.
The Stevie Awards are the only business awards program to recognize innovation in the workplace in all 29 markets of the Asia-Pacific region. Nicknamed the Stevies for the Greek word for “crowned, the Stevie Awards are widely considered to be the world’s premier business awards, conferring recognition for achievement in programs such as The International Business Awards® for 24 years.
Our winning nomination, “Building an AI-First Enterprise through Strategic Innovation,” tells the story of how we’ve transformed a 75-year professional services legacy into an AI-native enterprise. At the core of this transformation is our proprietary AI Brain Frame — a unified intelligence layer that embeds data governance, machine learning, and automation into how we design, deliver, and continuously improve our services.
The impact has been real and measurable: audit reports that once took 3–4 days are now generated in under 30 minutes, proposals that needed a week now take 2–3 hours, and we’ve tripled our audit throughput across 288+ client locations — delivering a 5.3x return on our AI investment within 24 months. Twenty independent judges evaluated our submission, and every single one provided a positive assessment, with particular praise for our human-centered approach to AI — one that positions intelligent systems as capability enhancers for our professionals, not replacements.
“Strategic intelligence on artificial intelligence adoption will significantly impact your organization’s competitive positioning, operational efficiency, and long-term market relevance” said Karan Gupta, Chief Vision Architect, SPNX Consulting. “When the notification came through, I had to read it twice. Not because we doubted our work but because being recognized alongside names like Cisco, EY, and CBRE reminds you that quiet, persistent belief in an idea can take you places you once envisioned. The biggest lesson this journey has taught me is simple: technology doesn’t transform firms — people who are willing to unlearn and relearn do. Our team chose curiosity over comfort, and this award is the world’s way of saying it noticed.”
We’re proud to share this moment with an incredible group of organizations pushing the boundaries of AI across Asia-Pacific. A big congratulations to Cisco Systems India on their Gold Stevie for advancing managed services toward intelligent AI autonomy; to fellow Silver winners EY GDS and CBRE for their outstanding AI implementation and centre of excellence work; and to Bronze winners Kopitiam Investment, Lenovo Technology, Palo Alto Networks, and SmartOSC Corporation for their inspiring contributions. When these many organizations are recognized for reimagining what AI can do, it’s a signal that the future is already being built.
“The 13th Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards saw an outstanding level of participation and excellence,” said Maggie Miller, President of the Stevie Awards. “This year’s winners have demonstrated remarkable innovation, creativity, and resilience, and we commend them for raising the bar. We’re delighted to honor many of these organizations and individuals at our awards ceremony on 17 April.”
