Parent company Prism is running backend administrative functions like taxation and accounts payable using autonomous AI agents

Founder Ritesh Agarwal noted that artificial intelligence addresses labor shortages, while people continue handling complex edge cases

Parent entity Prism is utilizing autonomous AI agents to oversee complete backend workflows.
The software handles routine financial duties such as accounts receivable, accounts payable, treasury, and taxation.
These digital agents execute whole processes from start to finish without team members initiating individual actions.
Founder Ritesh Agarwal stated that people intervene in 5% to 40% of decisions to resolve unusual edge cases.
Organized data shaped by human viewpoints helps automated agents reach sounder conclusions across various tasks.
The hospitality firm earlier turned into the first in the country to adopt Google's Veo 3 tool.

Artificial intelligence tools help close the mismatch where the need for staff exceeds the available workforce.
The corporate identity switched to Prism in September 2025 to represent its worldwide reach.
The company reported Rs 623 crore in net earnings for FY25, ranking as the most profitable domestic startup.

The hospitality network lets travelers reserve lodging with features like complimentary cancellations and on-site payments.
It operates standard accommodations under brands like Townhouse alongside the premium four-star chain Sunday Hotels.
The business lists over 175,000 properties across 35 countries such as the United States, Germany, and Indonesia.
More than 5,000 corporate clients rely on the platform after it added 3,500 enterprise accounts in FY25.
Members of the Wizard loyalty program receive price reductions, faster customer assistance, and complimentary hotel stays.
The firm also manages the European vacation brand DanCenter and the American hospitality portfolio G6.

The upscale line Sunday plans to launch 40 new locations across 2025 and 2026.
Vacation rental unit DanCenter intends to introduce 250 holiday homes across India throughout FY26.
