Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping how businesses operate, offering tools to streamline processes and improve decision-making. Despite its potential, many companies don’t fully utilize AI. Serhii Tokarev, an IT entrepreneur and co-founder of Roosh Ventures, explains how AI can help businesses turn mistakes into valuable lessons and thrive.
Learning from Mistakes with AI
Failure is part of business and life, but repeating the same mistakes leads to setbacks. Serhii Tokarev explains that AI can analyze errors and transform them into actionable insights. He outlines several ways businesses can use AI effectively:
1. Finding Cause-and-Effect Relationships
AI excels at uncovering complex connections that might go unnoticed. Serhii Tokarev highlights how declining sales could be linked to factors like pricing, changing demand, weather, or emerging trends. AI can analyze such patterns across areas like sales, logistics, and production workflows, helping businesses fix problems at their root.
“For example, if there is a drop in sales, we might attribute it to decreased demand or pricing issues. AI, however, can uncover unexpected correlations—such as the influence of weather, emerging trends, local nuances, or geographical factors,” explains the entrepreneur.
2. Building “Institutional Memory”
AI can learn from a company’s past to improve its future. By analyzing historical data, AI identifies patterns in successes and failures, offering strategies tailored to specific contexts.
Tokarev points to UPS’s ORION system as a strong example. ORION uses AI to optimize logistics by studying delivery routes, customer data, and performance history, saving time and costs.
3. Listening to Customers
Customer interactions hold valuable insights. Whether through chatbots, reviews, or feedback, AI can analyze data to improve customer experiences.
For example, if customers frequently ask the same question, it may signal a need to update the company’s website or social media. AI can detect these patterns faster and more comprehensively than humans, making it especially useful for B2C businesses.
4. Balancing AI and Human Oversight
AI isn’t a standalone solution. Serhii Tokarev stresses that human supervision is critical for making contextually sound decisions.
“Consider the case of Zillow’s real estate division, Zillow Offers, which relied solely on algorithms to predict housing prices. Without human intervention, the system failed to adapt to unforeseen events like COVID-19 and labor shortages, leading to massive losses, layoffs, and the division’s eventual shutdown,” explains Serhii Tokarev.
By combining AI insights with human expertise, businesses can avoid similar pitfalls. Learning from others’ mistakes, as well as their own, is key to building a successful AI strategy.
Serhii Tokarev shows how AI can turn business challenges into opportunities. By identifying patterns, learning from the past, and listening to customers, companies can use AI to enhance operations and decision-making. However, a balanced approach—mixing AI with human judgment—is essential for long-term success.
A child starts its learning journey from a play school followed by primary, secondary, any other higher/professional or vocational education with multiple touch points involving many entities (schools, college, universities, education boards, sports academy, financial institutions etc.). In the current scenario, all these entities maintain their records in isolation, creating multiple and duplicate information for each student having its own way to become accessible to the individual. This leads to nothing but chaos, confusion, no way to track dropouts and increased efforts at every stage and for every stakeholder but most importantly for the student.
Public Digital Platform for Education could be envisaged as unifying isolated systems into a combined Platform with a unique number where all the entities through consent-based mechanism supported by new age technologies would interact with the data available across entities. Thus, helping the student with a consolidated view of their education journey foremost but also making it easier for other stakeholders involved within the education system and even outside it.
What is Personal Education Number (PEN) ? :
Personal Education Number or “PEN” is an initiative to create a unique identification number across all the Education platforms. PEN would be issued to 5 key personas (Learners, Parents, Teachers, Administrators and Community Members) interacting through 3 generalized scenarios: Learn, Help Learn and Manage Learn as defined in National Digital Enterprise Architecture (NDEAR).
PEN would contain minimum set of essential parameters (like name, date of birth, gender, email, phone etc.) validating the association of personas to the education sector to uniquely identify an academician or an entity.
PEN would facilitate unifying of existing digital assets and applications part of the federated system.
It would act as a permanent reference number in the entire persona lifecycle at different learning stages including pre-primary, primary, secondary, senior secondary, graduate, post-graduate, upskilling etc.
PEN can also facilitate building of national core registries such as student, teacher, counsellor, entities etc. as identified in NDEAR.
Most importantly, it would benefit the personas by providing a unified view of digital assets from diverse federated systems. Stakeholders would be able to share the digital academic assets like UPI model which uses mobile number linked to various kinds of financial accounts for making transaction. On the similar lines PEN linked with multiple registration numbers can be used for availing different services including employment, education, scholarship, credit transfer, loans, examinations, admissions, Passport/Visa etc.
Why Not Aadhaar and other Identifiers ? :
Aadhaar can be enlisted as an attribute for PEN rather than a unique identifier as it might not always be available for everyone part of the education system like NRIs, foreign nationals, organizations etc. Also, due to the legal frameworks associated with Aadhaar, it can’t be made a mandatory parameter for educational services. Similar is the case with other identifiers like Health ID, Passport, PAN etc.
Way Forward
Although generating identification numbers for such a huge population can be a daunting task, it can be implemented if done in a phased manner. In the initial phase, the focus can be on existing class 10th passed students and teachers for whom the database is readily available and slowly it can be cascaded down further for rest of the population. The new entrants can be easily considered by providing tools and creating policies & procedures.

When it comes to acquiring industrial ice-making equipment, businesses have to balance cost with functionality and reliability. Buying new machines guarantees the latest technology and warranties but comes with a steep price. On the other hand, used industrial ice equipment presents an opportunity for significant savings, provided you do your homework. It’s essential to assess various factors such as machine condition, maintenance history, and compliance with industry standards. Below, we delve into the key considerations to keep in mind when buying pre-owned industrial ice machines.
Assessing the Quality and Condition of Pre-Owned Industrial Ice Machines
Determining the condition of used industrial ice equipment is paramount. Start with a visual inspection to look for signs of wear or damage, which may indicate how well the machine has been maintained. Pay attention to rust, dents, and any other irregularities that could affect the machine’s performance. It’s also important to inquire about any recent repairs or parts replacements. These could either be a sign of good upkeep or indicate potential future problems. Requesting a demonstration of the machine’s operation can provide insights into its functionality and output efficiency. When assessing the quality of used ice equipment, don’t forget to consider the brand and model. Renowned brands often have a reputation for durability and longevity, which can be a promising factor when looking at second-hand options.
Evaluating the Cost-Benefit Ratio: When Does Buying Used Make Sense?
Buying used industrial ice equipment can be cost-effective, but it’s crucial to weigh the immediate savings against long-term costs. Compare the price of the used machine with new models, considering the remaining lifespan and potential needs for repairs or upgrades. Consider the warranty and service agreements available for new versus used equipment. While used ice machines come with a lower upfront cost, the lack of a warranty could result in higher expenses if the machine malfunctions. Examine your business’s operational demands. A used machine might suffice if your ice production requirements are modest or you have backup options. However, if ice production is central to your operations, the reliability of a new machine might justify the extra cost.
Key Features to Look for in Used Industrial Ice Equipment
When searching for second-hand ice equipment, certain features are critical to consider. Capacity should align with your business’s needs, ensuring that you can meet demand without overextending the machine’s capabilities. Efficiency is another key feature. Older ice machines may use more energy and water than newer models, so calculate potential increases in utility costs when evaluating different options. The type of ice produced is just as important. Different industries require specific ice types, like flake, cube, or nugget. Ensure the used machine you’re considering produces the appropriate ice for your purposes.
Regulatory and Safety Compliance of Second-Hand Ice Machinery
Compliance with health and safety standards is essential when purchasing used ice equipment. Check that the machine meets current Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations, as non-compliance can pose health risks and lead to penalties. Look for machines that also adhere to energy standards set by organizations like ENERGY STAR. Compliance not only ensures better efficiency but can also signify that the machine is up to date with current industry standards. It’s advisable to have a qualified technician evaluate the machine for safety hazards such as electrical issues or malfunctioning safety features. Overall, purchasing used industrial ice equipment can offer significant financial benefits if due diligence is taken to ensure quality, longevity, and compliance. By thoroughly examining the machine’s condition, maintenance history, cost-effectiveness, and feature set while keeping regulatory standards in mind, businesses can make a well-informed decision that aligns with their operational needs and budgetary constraints.
