Her Story
About Priti
Priti Solanki is the founder of PurpleSpot.ink, an AI Strategy and Enterprise Consulting firm helping organizations adopt artificial intelligence with clarity, structured thinking, and measurable business outcomes. With over 16 years of enterprise software and solution architecture experience, Priti has built a reputation for turning ambiguous, high-stakes AI initiatives into practical, scalable systems that leadership teams can trust.
Her expertise spans Enterprise AI, AI Readiness, Knowledge Management, Enterprise Architecture, and Leadership Decision Coaching — a combination that lets her operate at both the technical and executive layers of an organization. As a hands-on GenAI architect, she has led cross-functional engineering teams in designing and deploying production-grade agentic AI systems, conversational platforms, and enterprise knowledge retrieval tools, translating complex workflow discovery into secure, adopted technology rather than stalled pilots.
What distinguishes Priti's approach is her insistence that AI adoption is as much a leadership and decision-making challenge as it is a technical one. Through PurpleSpot.ink, she guides executives through the structured thinking required to make sound AI investment decisions — helping them separate genuine opportunity from hype, and architecture from assumption.
Beyond her consulting practice, Priti channels this same philosophy into Ahavibes, a venture focused on emotional clarity and structured decision-making, reflecting her belief that better outcomes — whether in enterprise AI strategy or personal decision-making — start with clearer thinking.
Priti holds executive education credentials from MIT Sloan (MIT xPRO) in AI Product Design and Digital Business Strategy, alongside a Post Graduate Program in Cloud Computing from the University of Texas at Austin. She is recognized for making enterprise AI adoption clear, structured, and genuinely usable.
Her Interview
Ten minutes with Priti
01What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to my mother. She was also a working woman, and I have seen her struggling and still winning and still being happy. Whenever I am very down and feel like I can't see the other side, I always remember my mom's best days and how she struggled through and came out. I have a lot of people who have influenced me, but she's the one I attribute my success to the most.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best career advice I ever received was from one of my mentors who told me to do your best wherever you are. In 17 years, you see ups and downs in your career, and sometimes you're in a project that's grunt work and you don't like it because everybody else is working on the latest and best tech, and you feel like your career is shutting down. But I have learned that even if you work through a legacy system and you're right there in that system, you develop knowledge of how these systems work. When you get into newer technology with the latest tech, it's always about transformation - mainframe to web app, web app to mobile app, mobile app to AI app, everything gets transformed. So if you know the systems and you have learned how to work with the system, then it is very easy to get into the world of transformation and adoption.
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
In my industry, if you are a builder, create your own portfolio and showcase all your work without shame. Be happy and willing to talk about what you build on social media. Say, 'Hey, I created this,' and tag your old friends. I do that, and I think I learned it from somebody, so that is what I'm passing on to others.

04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
In AI, the opportunity is that what you can build is limited only by imagination. I work at Success Academy, which is a public charter school, and I have adopted one of their strategic goals, which is about reducing the burnout of teachers. That is something I'm working on right now as a builder.
05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
My professional and personal life are very much interconnected and affected by the way I was brought up in India and how I became an architect. I do my best with whatever moment I am in. Through my life crises, I have learned to be humble and to push my boundaries, because that is very important, especially for women. Sometimes, whether you're a woman or a man, we cannot even identify that we are in a life crisis. I think my next course of action is to work on helping people become aware of when it's time to pause and take some time for themselves.
