Examining the Swiftest Artificial Intelligence equities on the rise
In the dynamic world of technology, two global companies, Affle 3i and Persistent Systems, are making significant strides in the rapidly growing AI industry in India.
Affle 3i, a global technology company with a consumer intelligence platform for mobile advertising, is planning to embed intelligence deeper across its platform stack, scale its product innovations, and extend its differentiated Cost-Per-Click-User (CPCU) model to new verticals. The company reported a net profit of Rs 1,055 million in Q1 FY26, an impressive increase from Rs 866 million in the same quarter last year. Moreover, Affle 3i's consolidated sales for Q1 FY26 reached Rs 6,207 million, up from Rs 5,195 million in the corresponding period of last year.
Affle 3i's strategic vision and favorable industry trends position the company well for future growth. The company is also actively involved in AI, having developed its own internal GenAI platform.
On the other hand, Persistent Systems is a global engineering and technology solutions company that collaborates with customers to design digital enterprises, build intelligent products and platforms, and solve sustainability challenges. The company has strategic partnerships with major AI platform providers such as Google Cloud, IBM, AWS, and Microsoft.
Persistent Systems is also making headway in the AI sector. They are developing state-of-the-art application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) that include AI for applications in motor vehicles, industrial robotics, and power distribution. The company's net profits kept pace with increased revenues, rising to Rs 4,249 m in Q1 FY26, as against Rs 3,064 m YoY. Persistent Systems reported revenues of Rs 33,336 m in Q1 FY26, a significant improvement from Rs 27,372 m in the corresponding period of last year.
The growth of the Indian AI market is driven by increased investments in enterprise technology, a flourishing digital ecosystem, and a strong pool of skilled professionals. The market is expected to grow to over US$ 17 billion by 2027.
Recently, Persistent Systems initiated the GenAI Hub to accelerate enterprise AI integration. Cyient, another key player in the sector, has also developed an internal GenAI platform called CyAI.
In a notable move, Cyient Semiconductors entered into a strategic partnership with Anora at the end of September 2025 to offer semiconductor tests, testing, and verification services. The collaboration includes establishing a state-of-the-art semiconductor validation and production test facility in Bangalore, India.
As the AI industry in India continues to grow, investors should evaluate the company's fundamentals, corporate governance, and valuations of the stock as key factors when conducting due diligence before making investment decisions. Both Affle 3i and Persistent Systems stand to gain from this growth, positioning them as attractive investment opportunities in the AI sector.
