Chennai (India), May 21, 2026: Intellect Design Arena, a global leader in AI-First, enterprise-grade financial technology, today announced its inclusion as a “notable vendor” in Forrester’s The AI Platforms Landscape, Q1 2026, for Purple Fabric, the world’s first open business impact AI platform. Intellect believes the recognition reflects Purple Fabric’s growing relevance among enterprise AI platforms, reshaping how regulated industries adopt and scale AI with trust, governance, and measurable business impact.

Forrester Research’s AI Platforms Landscape, Q1 2026, provides an overview of 40 vendors at the forefront of what is emerging as a defining enterprise technology category. Intellect is listed as having an industry focus on financial services, insurance, and retail, and self-reported the extended use cases of decision intelligence and automation, industry AI application accelerators, and process intelligence and automation as the top three use cases for which clients select them.

Purple Fabric is purpose-built for enterprises looking to move beyond fragmented AI experimentation to governed, production-grade deployment. It is architected on four integrated technology stacks:

• Enterprise Knowledge Garden for decision-ready, traceable knowledge
• Enterprise Digital Experts to orchestrate domain-specific AI agent ecosystems
• LLM Optimisation Hub enabling model flexibility, benchmarking, and zero lock-in
• Enterprise Governance embedding compliance, auditability, and explainability across the AI lifecycle

The platform is currently in production with over 40 regulated financial institutions across the US, APAC, India, UK, and Europe, and it activates and amplifies an enterprise’s existing AI, data, and application investments rather than replacing them.

Commenting on the recognition, Deepak Dastrala, Chief Technology Officer, IntellectAI, said, “Enterprise AI is moving beyond pilots, from experimentation to Business Impact AI. Regulated industries now need AI that works safely, reliably, and measurably inside the enterprise core, where decisions are made, and outcomes are governed. For financial institutions and public-sector organisations, AI cannot sit at the edge. It must work within existing systems, controls, and decision processes, with auditability, governance, and trust built in. Purple Fabric was built for this reality, on a clear promise: Business Impact AI. It helps clients extend the technology they already run, put accountable AI into production across critical workflows, and create outcomes that business, risk, compliance, and finance teams can stand behind. Recognition in Forrester’s AI Platforms Landscape, Q1 2026, is an important marker. We take pride in the work itself: helping institutions move from AI experimentation to Business Impact AI.”
