Akshaj Kasliwal
An operator who has watched millions in automation savings get claimed, and learned which ones were real.
Before founding Aveo Global, Akshaj spent years inside enterprise automation programs at Citi and at a leading investment bank, working across finance and operations functions, on programs where realized savings were measured in millions of dollars and verified by finance.
He also saw the other kind. Programs that reported tens of thousands of hours released while the cost base did not move. Exception queues that were “automated” and then renamed. Business cases that finance signed, and realized numbers that nobody ever asked finance to sign.
The pattern was consistent enough to have a name, the Realization Gap, and a cause: the conversion of value was never decided before the building began. Aveo exists to make that decision first, price the work honestly, eliminate it in the cheapest order that works, and treat the job as unfinished until the value shows up somewhere a CFO can see it.
He builds what he recommends. Where the work is unstructured or judgment-shaped, that means AI. Where it is not, it means a rule change, an integration, or stopping the work altogether.
