He co-founded Ikigai Labs, which built a foundation model for enterprise tabular data that learns continuously by testing predictions against real outcomes. The model draws on graphical model techniques to handle complex, interdependent business processes like demand forecasting, pricing, and supply chain planning. Ikigai was recently acquired by Celonis, where Shah now serves as chief scientist, with the goal of layering Ikigai's decision-making stack on top of Celonis's digitized enterprise process data for over 1,400 large companies worldwide. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
