Moving from consulting into an in-house AI strategy role – need resources to prep

I've spent my career in consulting (Big 4, India offshore unit), and I'm now moving into an industry role as an AI strategist. Excited and a bit nervous.

The JD in plain terms is "use AI to improve internal processes," but I know the reality on the ground is different from how it reads on paper.

What I'm trying to get sharper on before I join:

  • AI applied to real internal process improvement, not just generic GenAI demos
  • How firms are actually driving adoption across teams, not just running pilots
  • Where the real value is landing vs. the hype

I've got the basics down (prompting, RAG, the standard leadership AI certs), but I want to go a level deeper and stay current on where things are actually moving.

Looking for: courses, newsletters, communities, or good case studies on enterprise AI for internal operations. Any subreddits or forums worth following are also welcome. Just trying to learn and hit the ground running.

Title: Old 44ADA allowed 50% without question does new IT Act 2025 Section 58 now require declaring actual profit if higher than 50%?

We have a service business, 90%+ USD income from international clients, receipts in ₹50-75L range, GST registered, zero cash transactions, and almost zero expenses.

Earlier under 44ADA the rule was simple — declare 50% of gross receipts as income, pay tax on that, done. No bills, no books needed.

But new IT Act 2025 Section 58 Sl. No. 3 now reads:

>

Since we have almost no real expenses, our actual profit is 90%+. So technically the "whichever is higher" clause forces us to declare actual profit, not just 50%.

This feels like a significant change from old 44ADA where 50% was always accepted without question.

Are we reading this correctly? Has Section 58 changed the game for service businesses with minimal expenses compared to old 44ADA?

Thanks!

Need actual help and guidance

I am a 37-year-old male and have been suffering from anxiety, especially hypochondria, for at least 20 years, since my graduation days. During COVID, it worsened, moving from hypochondria to generalized anxiety disorder and catastrophization. I have worked hard and am in a decent place, but mentally, I am anxious almost every day.

Things that I have tried:

Therapy - I felt better but never found the right therapist.

Lexapro for a year - This was during COVID, and I was having multiple panic attacks.

For the past 6 years, anxiety keeps returning at different times, especially when facing anything unwanted. I think my brain has been wired for a lot of negative loop thinking.

I am looking for a professional to actually cure me, tell me a plan, and then work on it. I really want to get rid of it.
