through organized retreats, an Advisory Board, and informal
interactions with the goal of bidirectional transfer of knowledge
and excitement.
Virtusa’s collaboration with SAIL will focus on
using AI to help patients live longer, reduce food waste, and
improve profitability of products in the healthcare, insurance,
life sciences, communications, media, technology, and banking and
financial services industries by extending open source research
projects for AI.
“We recognize the critical importance of
collaboration in advancing AI technologies to create intelligent
solutions that make lives better and businesses more efficient,”
said Samir Dhir, president, Virtusa. “Virtusa joining forces with
SAIL enables us to leverage our deep industry and technical
expertise to define solutions that make it easier for organizations

with the eminent researchers at Stanford.”
