In a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence and digital transformation, a few minds stand out not just for their technical brilliance, but for their ethical foresight and enterprise-scale impact. One such visionary, Mr. Radhakrishnan Arikrishna Perumal, was recently honored with the International Lifetime Achievement Award at the ISSN IISTAC 2025 Global Technology Awards held in Coimbatore, India.
With over 22 years of experience spanning AI, cybersecurity, cloud architecture, and insurance technology, Mr. Perumal has become a pivotal figure in bridging innovation and real-world adoption across critical industries. The award recognizes a career marked by consistent excellence, deep originality, and leadership in shaping enterprise AI systems used globally.
From designing AI-powered fraud detection systems that saved millions in insurance claims to architecting secure, cloud-native platforms for Fortune 500 companies, Mr. Perumal’s work has delivered measurable value. His systems are now used by organizations in the United States, India, and Europe, particularly in regulated sectors like healthcare and finance.
“He brings a rare combination of visionary design and implementation rigor,” said Dr. V. Suresh, an IISTAC panelist. “His platforms not only solve technical challenges but also transform how businesses think about trust, efficiency, and scalability in the AI era.”
Mr. Perumal is not just a technologist—he’s also a scholar and author, having published over 10 technical books and numerous peer-reviewed research articles on artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and digital transformation. His recent books, including Engineering Intelligent Insurance Systems and The Science of Generative AI, have gained traction across both academic and corporate spheres.
His writings explore everything from transformer-based architectures and fine-tuning large language models to API-first enterprise architectures and cloud security best practices. Industry experts credit him with “democratizing complex technology through plain-language storytelling.”
One of Mr. Perumal’s most notable contributions lies in AI cybersecurity frameworks, particularly for insurance, health tech, and fintech ecosystems. At a time when data breaches and algorithmic bias dominate the headlines, his commitment to ethical AI, transparency, and accountability has set a benchmark.
His patented AI-authentication mechanisms and cloud-native zero-trust frameworks are being piloted by insurers and banks across Asia and North America.
“AI is not just about automation,” Mr. Perumal said in an earlier interview. “It’s about augmenting human judgment, protecting data integrity, and ensuring systems serve society. That philosophy drives every project I lead.”
The IISTAC 2025 Honors
The International Lifetime Achievement Award, presented at the Jenneys Residency in Coimbatore, is one of the highest honors conferred by the International Science & Technology Awards Congress (IISTAC), an ISSN-recognized body. The 2025 event featured over 400 delegates from 30 countries, with global nominations submitted months in advance.
Only ten individuals across AI, robotics, biotechnology, and environmental science were selected for this elite award after undergoing a rigorous evaluation of contributions, publication record, impact metrics, and leadership history.
Mr. Perumal’s award citation praised his “deep technical insight, cross-sectoral influence, and sustained innovation over two decades.”
What’s Next for Mr. Perumal?
While honored by the recognition, Mr. Perumal remains focused on the future. He is currently leading architecture and product development for an AI-powered claims and fraud platform designed for cloud-native, multi-tenant insurance systems. He is also mentoring early-career engineers and contributing to open-source AI research frameworks.
His vision? “To engineer AI systems that are transparent, global-ready, and aligned with human values.”
In an industry often driven by buzzwords and short-term sprints, Mr. Radhakrishnan Perumal is proof that deep work, sustained excellence, and values-based leadership can not only win awards—but redefine entire sectors.
