Indian tech companies including Swiggy, Rapido, Razorpay, ShareChat, Shadowfax, and Meesho are embedding systematic evaluation frameworks and continuous monitoring into their AI production lifecycles. Discussed at Inc42's CTO Summit, engineering leaders highlighted that evaluating model accuracy, latency, and cost in real customer contexts has become critical. Swiggy's CTO Madhusudhan Rao noted that past dependencies on single models created vendor lock-in and migration delays, making robust evals essential for switching models safely in production.
