Six months after its strategic investment, Firstsource announces proven outcomes
from live deployments in healthcare and education, with processing times cut by 
over 95% and throughput increased up to 10x

MUMBAI, India, June 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — [**Firstsource Solutions Limited**](https://www.firstsource.com/)(
NSE: FSL) (BSE: 532809), a global intelligence partner and an RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group
company today announced the first measurable outcomes from its strategic partnership
with AppliedAI — the enterprise AI workflow automation company in which Firstsource
made a strategic equity investment in November 2025.

The results mark a decisive shift from commitment to proof. In the six months since
the investment was announced, Firstsource and AppliedAI have moved from pilot to
production, deploying joint solutions across two document-intensive, compliance-
heavy process domains in enterprise operations: healthcare provider data management
and education admissions. Both deployments are live with clients, and the outcomes
are measurable.

**From Commitment to Outcomes**

When Firstsource announced its investment in AppliedAI in November 2025, the thesis
was clear: the future of enterprise operations lies not in applying AI as a point
solution, but in rebuilding workflows from the ground up — with compliance, human
oversight, and measurable ROI built in from the start. AppliedAI’s Opus platform
and its Large Work Model were identified as the right foundation for that vision.

"Enterprises today don’t need more automation tools — they need outcomes. Our partnership
with AppliedAI is fundamentally changing how work gets done across both regulated
and unregulated industries. What these deployments prove is that when you rebuild
the workflow rather than bolt AI on top of it, the gains aren’t incremental — they’re
transformational. This is what Intelligence That Operates looks like in practice,"
shared** Ritesh Idnani, CEO & Managing Director, Firstsource.**

"The pilot era of enterprise AI is over. Every enterprise has run experiments; what
separates the leaders is whether those experiments have become operations. What 
we have built with Firstsource is a repeatable model: deep domain expertise from
Firstsource, workflow automation infrastructure from Opus, and outcomes that land
in weeks, not years. The results in provider data and admissions workflow automation
are not edge cases — they are proof that this works, and a template for what comes
next," said** Arya Bolurfrushan, Founder & CEO, AppliedAI.**

**What the last six months have demonstrated is that this approach works in production.**

**Healthcare: Provider Data Management**

Provider data management remains one of the most fragmented and error-prone processes
for healthcare payers. A provider’s information — from licensure and credentials
to network status and contact details — must be ingested, validated, and kept current
across systems, often drawn from dozens of disparate source formats submitted by
thousands of individual providers.

**Results from live deployments of the joint Firstsource–AppliedAI solution:**

 ◦ **Up to 93% reduction in processing time**, from approximately 15 minutes per
   record to under one minute
 ◦ **Reduction in data entry errors**, with full auditability and human review at
   every critical decision point

**Education: Admissions Workflow Automation**

Admissions processing involves manual review of applications, credential verification,
document completeness checks, and rubric-based evaluation. These steps are inherently
repetitive and well-suited for intelligent automation, provided compliance, consistency,
and audit requirements are maintained.

**Results from live deployments of the joint Firstsource-AppliedAI solution:**

 ◦ **5–10x increase in throughput, **from approximately 8 minutes per application
   to ~2 minutes
 ◦ **Up to 90% reduction in manual processing effort**

This collaboration moves beyond experimentation with AI to operationalizing it at
scale, embedding intelligence directly into workflows to deliver measurable business
outcomes. Together, Firstsource and AppliedAI are building and deploying industry-
specific, repeatable use cases that re-architect how complex, compliance-heavy processes
are executed.

The competitive advantage will belong to enterprises that can operationalize AI 
inside live workflows—not as copilots, but as accountable systems of execution. 
Through this partnership, Firstsource and AppliedAI are setting a new benchmark 
for enterprise AI adoption, bringing Intelligence That Operates into live enterprise
workflows at scale, with domain expertise, compliance, and measurable outcomes at
the core.
