This coexistence of &ldquo;productivity boom&rdquo; and &ldquo;revenue stagnation&rdquo; marks AI applications moving from marketing slogans into the deep-water phase of value verification.</p> <p>A survey of over 200 Indian startup founders and senior executives paints a picture of both optimistic and sobering AI application landscapes. More than 80% of founders are more enthusiastic about AI than a year ago, but when it comes to actual business impact, the spectrum sharply diverges: a high 82% of &ldquo;measurable impact&rdquo; is concentrated in <strong>productivity improvement</strong> and <strong>product launch speed</strong>; only <strong>9%</strong> of founders believe AI has brought a quantifiable impact on sales or conversion rates.</p>
