New Report Highlights AI Execution Challenges in Private Equity
Coforge, a global AI-native engineering services leader, has published a new white paper titled “AI in Private Equity: Driving Value Through AI Execution.” The report, released on September 18, 2026, addresses a critical issue facing the private equity industry: the growing disparity between AI aspirations and actual portfolio value creation.
Key Findings: The AI Execution Gap
While AI has become integral to investment strategies and value creation plans, many private equity firms are struggling with effective execution. This has resulted in a significant gap between expected outcomes from AI initiatives and the measurable business results achieved. The paper underscores that AI is no longer an optional advantage but a fundamental assumption for revenue growth and margin enhancement in PE investment models.
Call for Repeatable AI Rollout Models
Preeti Singh, Executive Vice President and Head of North America at Coforge, stated, “The winning firms are the ones that develop a repeatable rollout model capable of scaling AI across their portfolio and turning projected value into real-world return on investment.” This highlights the need for structured approaches to AI implementation within PE portfolios.
Structured Playbook for AI Operationalization
The white paper provides a detailed playbook for operationalizing AI throughout the investment lifecycle. This includes AI-based due diligence, the development of repeatable execution programs for portfolio companies, and portfolio-level governance to enhance visibility, accountability, and value generation.
