Quantiphi, a US and India-headquartered applied artificial intelligence (AI) and Big Data analytics services firm, has raised $20 million via a Series A round from Multiples Alternate Asset Management.
Quantiphi offers applied AI and Big Data solutions to Fortune 500 companies across several major sectors including CPG, insurance, healthcare, retail, media and entertainment, and education technology.
The company’s products and services have helped large enterprises in creating real business value by developing better and smarter products, and assisting them in offering improved customer experiences. Quantiphi’s solutions also help clients automate complex business processes and requirements, and manage risks.
Quantiphi’s products are supported by its tech savvy talent base, the firm’s own IP repository, and several partnerships with established industry participants. The company is reportedly a premier AI partner to Amazon (AWS), Google (GCP), Nvidia and TensorFlow.
Quantiphi was Google Global Machine Learning (ML) Partner of the Year in 2017 and 2018. The company received an award for its contributions to ML work in the Google ecosystem, and its commitment to providing good customer service.
Established six years ago by Asif Hasan, Reghu Hariharan, Ritesh Patel and Vivek Khemani, Quantiphi reportedly has over 1,000 employees on its payroll. The company has business offices based in several major cities, including Boston, Princeton, Toronto, Mumbai and Bengaluru.
Quantiphi has been growing 2x year-on-year over the last few years. The capital acquired will support the firm’s ongoing growth, as it works on its vertical expertise, focuses on its research and development (R&D), and scales its operations in order to further penetrate North American and European markets.
