AI Forecasting Intelligence Engine

Ruthvik is a visionary enterprise architect whose pioneering work in AI-powered financial systems has transformed how Dropbox’s Finance organization plans, models, and forecasts its operations. As the lead architect of the AI Forecasting Intelligence Engine, Ruthvik introduced a fully automated and intelligent forecasting ecosystem — enabling Dropbox to move from reactive, spreadsheet-driven planning to predictive, AI-enhanced forecasting built on real-time data.

His groundbreaking platform integrates statistical logic, historical learning, override controls, and BvA transparency into a single intelligent environment that now drives Dropbox’s earnings preparation, headcount planning, vendor spend modeling, and free cash flow forecasting.

In an environment of heightened market volatility, evolving SaaS economics, and operational efficiency mandates, Dropbox’s Finance team faced increasing pressure to improve the speed and accuracy of its forecasts. Forecasts were disconnected, actuals arrived in batch loads, and planning required too much human interpretation at critical decision points.

Ruthvik envisioned a new kind of platform — one where AI didn’t replace Finance, but made it faster, sharper, and more trusted. He led the development of a system that continuously learns from patterns, adapts to changing inputs, and empowers users to simulate scenarios instantly using embedded AI logic.

The system is now used daily by Finance, Treasury, and senior leadership to power quarterly guidance, model tradeoffs, and drive strategic planning across the enterprise.
