Navikenz, an enterprise AI and data transformation company founded by Anjan Lahiri and Samit Deb, has raised USD 7.5 million in a Seed equity funding round. The round was led by Sekar PRC (former CEO, Hexaware), Sudip Nandy (former CEO, Aricent), along with Anjan Lahiri and Samit Deb, with participation from existing and new high-net-worth investors, bringing the company’s total funding to USD 11.6 million. The round saw strong participation from early backers, reflecting continued investor confidence.

Commenting on the funding, Anjan Lahiri, Founder & CEO, Navikenz, said, “We have strong market fit, rising demand from large enterprises, and a world-class team. This funding helps us serve our customers better and allows us to continue investing in our people, deepen investments in AI frameworks and accelerators, scale business outreach and hire talent across key markets, especially in the US, UK, Europe and India, as we build the next phase of Navikenz. Our focus is on reimagining core business workflows, bringing transformative productivity improvements to enterprises through AI.”

“Rarely do you see a team of this calibre meet an opportunity of this scale—and be uniquely positioned to create real transformation. Navikenz brings together deep enterprise leadership with a pragmatic, outcomes-first approach to AI. What excites us is their ability to move beyond hype and deliver measurable productivity impact for large organisations. This made the investment a clear and compelling decision for us.” said Sudip Nandy, former CEO of Aricent and lead investor

The company is addressing mission-critical priorities at the executive leadership and Board levels of large enterprises, delivering dramatic efficiency gains through its Agentic AI and GenAI-driven solutions. Navikenz’s enterprise deployments have delivered tangible outcomes, including over 90% efficiency improvements in complex reconciliation workflows and a reduction in regulatory reporting timelines from several months to just a few days.

Navikenz partners with large enterprises and Global Capability Centers (GCCs) as an AI-first transformation ally, helping them move beyond incremental efficiency to bring transformative impact. By combining deep process consulting with AI and data implementation, with purpose-built technology assets such as its in-house platform, NAVIO, the company enables global enterprises to scale intelligence.

Navikenz currently works closely with life sciences and pharmaceutical companies and is selectively expanding into additional industries. Over the past year, Navikenz has achieved quarterly profitability and industry-leading revenue growth for a services-led company. It aims to continue profitable growth with a goal to double revenues every 12–18 months over the next few years.
