Coforge Report: PE Firms Struggle with AI Value Creation

AI Summary

Coforge's new white paper, "AI in Private Equity: Driving Value Through AI Execution," reveals a significant gap between private equity firms' AI ambitions and their ability to achieve measurable value creation.

Coforge suggests a structured playbook for operationalizing AI across the investment lifecycle, from due diligence to portfolio-wide governance, to help PE firms translate AI investments into tangible ROI. This initiative follows the recent launch of Coforge's Private Equity Business Unit aimed at driving operational transformation and AI-enabled value creation for their clients.
