NEW DELHI, Jan 16 (The CONNECT) -Construction management SaaS startup Zepth has said that renowned UAE diplomat Dr Ahmed Abdul Rahman AlBanna has joined its advisory board.
Dr. AlBanna, a former UAE Ambassador to India, has also led key teams and departments in the Dubai Chamber of Commerce & Industry, Dubai Quality Group and Dubai Rent Committee — organizations critical to UAE’s socioeconomic growth in the past few decades. During his tenure as a diplomat in the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Dr AlBanna was instrumental in solidifying bilateral relations with India, acting as the Ambassador and Plenipotentiary. Besides the recent stint as an advisor for the Dubai Expo, His Excellency continues to be a board member of leading professional associations and innovative tech startups like Zepth.
“Dr. AlBanna’s reputation precedes him,” Prasoon Shrivastava, CEO and founder of Zepth, said. Dr AlBanna’s intersectional approach to business, in particular, will help Zepth position its product competitively in the market while staying rooted in its purpose of driving innovation-led sustainability and growth in the construction industry, Shrivastava said.
Zepth recently deployed 40 AI agents to take its platform to an artificial general intelligence (AGI) state and achieve human-level intelligence — a first-of-its-kind endeavour in the Middle East and worldwide. Consistent with Dr AlBanna’s beliefs, Zepth has begun to unlock higher efficiencies and better team collaborations while mitigating risks proactively and promoting paper-free operations. Those outcomes will help avoid budget overruns, labour shortages, and project delays, according to Prasoon Shrivastava, who said the arrival of Dr. AlBanna will help Zepth further streamline its offerings and deliver value to customers.
“The decision to join Zepth’s advisory board was rooted in the prospect of exploring new frontiers in construction — an industry I believe can supercharge UAE’s growth,” said Dr AlBanna. Zepth’s recent AI adoption to induce human-level intelligence in its platform has great implications for people and processes across a project life cycle, he said.
Zepth is a new-age, AI-driven platform reshaping the landscape of construction project management. Powered by advanced intelligence & artificial general intelligence (AGI), Zepth is redefining how construction projects are envisioned, executed, and delivered. The intelligent and intuitive common data platform facilitates the convergence of ideas, drives real-time collaboration between project teams, and fosters innovation.
