Akshay Nara

Akshay Nara

Akshay Nara is a Senior Manager AI Solutions at EXL, where he leads engineering teams and advises Fortune 500 clients on building, scaling, and governing enterprise AI systems. With close to 10 years at the frontier of Conversational AI, GenAI, and Agentic AI, Akshay brings rare depth, from hands-on platform architecture to C-suite advisory, making him one of the few practitioners who can credibly bridge the gap between technical implementation and enterprise strategy.

His client portfolio spans some of the most demanding industries in the world: healthcare (CVS Health, McKesson, CoverMyMeds), financial services (Experian), and industrial manufacturing (Stanley Black & Decker, Cinch). Across these engagements, Akshay has designed and deployed production-grade Conversational AI and Agentic AI solutions on platforms including Google CX Agent Studio, Dialogflow CX, Amelia v4–v7, Sierra AI, Omilia AI, and Google Cloud Vertex AI, consistently driving operational efficiency, cost reduction, and better customer experience at scale.

In recent years, Akshay has deepened his focus on the agentic AI paradigm, including multi-agent orchestration, RAG-based knowledge systems, LLM integration, and responsible AI governance, areas where enterprise demand is rapidly outpacing available talent and proven frameworks. Having shipped 30+ production voice agents in regulated industries, he brings a practitioner’s view of what actually works in production, beyond the hype.

Akshay is an active speaker in India’s AI and Google developer communities. He spoke on “The Illusion of Agentic AI” at Google I/O Extended New Delhi (Aug 2026), sharing field lessons on what separates real autonomous agents from workflow automation dressed up as agents. At DevFest New Delhi 2026 Builder Day, hosted at Google’s Gurugram office, he led the hands-on workshop “Vibe Code a Voice Agent That Actually Talks Back: Gemini Live in AI Studio.” At AI Frontier by KNOTiC (Oct 2026), he presented “Your Agent Passed the Demo. Will It Survive Production?”, a session on evaluating and red-teaming agentic AI. He also runs free workshops on AI/ML, LLMs, and RAG for engineering students, including at MAIT Delhi’s AIvolutions Society, and recently addressed a large engineering audience on why AI-savvy engineers, not AI itself, will define the future of the profession.

Akshay holds certifications as an NVIDIA Certified Associate in Generative AI & LLMs and in Amelia 7.0 Agentic AI, along with two Google GenAI certifications.

Whether launching startups, growing multi-million-dollar platforms, or supporting charitable initiatives, he has always emphasized systems that strengthen people's lives and leave a lasting legacy.

In 2022, Jason founded Nolos Cabinet Multidisciplinaire Inc., serving as Founder & CEO. Nolos was created to integrate FinTech, InsurTech, and LegalTech under a single platform.

Among these was the acquisition of Skylegal in 2022, followed by creating a charitable foundation in 2023 to help families access justice and financial protection during estate and legacy planning. More recently, Jason acquired a technology firm that builds software for public and private organizations, further enhancing the B2B reach of the Nolos platform.

Before establishing Nolos, Ghassan gained experience as a Strategic Senior Consultant, working with Chubb Insurance and other major industry players. From 2003 to 2021, he was President and Principal Officer with AMF of La Capitale Services Conseils, where he grew assets under management from $300 million to over $3 billion, serving public sector employees with specialized solutions. In 2017, he became President of La Capitale Financial Security, where he expanded national operations for disability and personal finance services, redesigned compensation structures, and created an inclusive and high-performance culture. He also served as President of SSQ Financial Group Distribution, where he modernized retirement planning, oversaw post-merger alignment, and improved client experience and compliance.

Philanthropy has been a central part of Jason Barakat's life for over two decades. He has supported the Guignolet de Saint-Vincent de Paul tradition and contributed to various charitable efforts connected to public institutions and retirement planning. In 2021, he partnered with Peartree Canada to advance philanthropic planning for organizations and families. He later launched the Nolos Foundation, which is dedicated to expanding access to Justice & Family Legacy Planning. Jason is also a volunteer leader for nonprofit boards and interfaith humanitarian initiatives.
