AI & data consulting for hospitality · UAE
Make your hotel AI-ready. Increase your profit.
Most AI projects fail because the data under them is weak. Arkonis builds that base for your hotel — clean data, clear reports, and AI tools — so you get better decisions, lower costs, and more revenue.
A working session on your data — not a sales pitch.

What we do
From scattered data to systems that run your hotel.
Most hotels do not have an AI problem — they have a data problem. We work in one clear order: clean and reliable data first, better decisions second, AI in daily operations last.
02
From dashboards to decisions
A report that nobody acts on changes nothing. We connect your reports to real actions — pricing, staffing, purchasing — with a clear owner for every number.
03
AI in daily operations, safely
AI tools inside your daily operations — demand forecasts, guest communication, back-office automation — controlled, auditable, and owned by your team, not by a vendor.

We build the strategy — and stay to deliver it.
The roadmap is the easy part. The real work is between strategy and delivery — staying close enough to make sure governance, engineering, and adoption happen.

Ways to work
Three ways to work with us — one standard of quality.
Fixed scope
AI readiness assessment
A short, structured project: where your data, systems, and team stand today, and a step-by-step roadmap for what to do next. Fixed fee, clear deliverable. The usual starting point.
Programme
Transformation delivery
Leading a defined data, AI, or digital transformation programme from start to finish — with hands-on delivery from a small AI/data engineering team.
Retainer
Fractional Chief Data Officer
Senior data leadership without the full-time hire — owning the roadmap, governance, and operating model across your properties on an ongoing basis.
About
A hands-on expert, not a software platform.
Arkonis Innovation is an Abu Dhabi consultancy led by Raghavendra Datta Palleti — a London Business School graduate with 14 years leading data and AI teams at HotelTrader (backed by Highgate), Sabre, OYO, and Fortune 500 fintech clients, in Europe, the US, and the Middle East.
The work sits deliberately between strategy and execution: defining the roadmap with leadership, then staying close to make sure the operating model, governance, engineering, and adoption work in practice. Every project is led directly by the founder, supported by a small AI/data engineering team.
Get in touch
Start with a 30-minute conversation about your hotel's data.
Bring one problem — dashboards nobody uses, an AI pilot that did not deliver, numbers you do not trust.
