Most ML initiatives fail after the demo. The model works in a notebook; operators do not trust it; drift goes undetected; and GPU costs spike without anyone owning the inference stack.
At TechieYan Technologies, we treat MLOps as part of the product — not an afterthought. Here is what enterprises should demand before signing an AI engagement in India.
Demo ML vs production ML
- Demo ML: single accuracy number, no monitoring, manual retrains, opaque dependencies.
- Production ML: documented eval harness, model registry, automated retraining triggers, inference SLAs, and audit-ready lineage.
Non-negotiable MLOps deliverables
- Model cards and eval reports — sensitivity, specificity, latency percentiles, and known failure modes.
- Registry and versioning — MLflow or equivalent with promoted stages (staging → production).
- Drift monitoring — Evidently or custom dashboards that alert before operators notice.
- Inference optimisation — batching, quantisation, and hardware selection tied to cost targets.
- Rollback path — one-click revert when a new model degrades in production.
How TechieYan delivers
Our MLOps practice pairs with AI & ML development so clients get one team from training through deployment. Engagements include fixed-scope POC sprints with go/no-go gates before milestone builds.
