Women of C5i: Strength in Every Story The right environment can shape not just careers, but also confidence and ambition. Preeti Rao, Senior Director - Technology, Media and Telecom at C5i, shares how C5i’s culture of inclusivity and mentorship has empowered her to rise to the leadership role she holds today. “I joined C5i in 2014 as an Analyst, supporting a large engagement for a single client. Little did I know then how much this journey would shape both my professional and personal growth. Over the years, C5i has provided me with an incredible learning experience. The guidance and approachability of senior leaders, along with their belief in collective growth, have been instrumental in shaping me as a manager. They have shown me that working towards a shared goal leads to success not just for individuals, but for the entire team. C5i’s inclusive culture empowered my growth from an individual contributor to a Senior Director, leading teams and driving client success. I strive to pass on the same values that helped me grow to my team as well. My advice to emerging leaders is simple: stay humble and never hesitate to ask for help. At C5i, seeking guidance is not seen as a weakness but as an opportunity to learn from others' experiences. I am grateful for the journey so far and excited to contribute to the success of future leaders at C5i.” Join a culture that invests in your growth and success.

Sakichi Toyoda revolutionized textile manufacturing with a loom that stopped automatically when a thread broke. By embedding error detection into the process, he pioneered a new approach to automation; one that prioritized both efficiency and quality. This idea, Jidoka (automation with a human touch), became a pillar of the Toyota Production System (TPS). ? Today, as AI-powered automation transforms industries, the same principles apply. Without proactive risk management and intervention, automation can lead to inefficiencies, errors, and compounding failures. ? A featured article by Jayachandran K R explores how FMEA and Jidoka can help build AI agents that are not just intelligent but also reliable, scalable, and aligned with business needs. By integrating risk assessment, human-in-the-loop monitoring, and continuous improvement, businesses can ensure that AI systems enhance, not replace, human capabilities. ? See how these time-tested methodologies can shape the future of AI automation.
