What if your biggest competitive threat isn't your rival — but your own spreadsheet?
In Life Without AI, veteran enterprise leader Mohan Krishnamurthy pulls back the curtain on what organizations truly lose when they delay AI adoption — not in labs or tech hubs, but in boardrooms, customer service desks, and supply chains.
From gut-feel decisions based on yesterday's data to talented employees quitting over repetitive tasks, this book reveals the quiet crisis of staying analog in a digital world. With sharp insight, real-world examples, and a touch of humor, Krishnamurthy shows how AI isn't about replacing people — it's about releasing them from the grind so they can focus on what humans do best: think, create, and lead.
Co-authored with Qwen AI, this book is both a wake-up call and a roadmap — offering a clear-eyed look at:
- The 7 deadly sins of ignoring AI
- What you're missing today (and what you won't be able to do tomorrow)
- How AI-native competitors are rewriting the rules
- And how to start small, think big, and build a human-centered AI future
Filled with actionable frameworks, visual contrasts (With AI / Without AI), and practical tools — including a 10-question AI Readiness Self-Assessment — this is the guide for leaders who want to move ahead of the value chain, not just keep up.
Spoiler: The best time to start was five years ago. The second-best time? Right now.
