Noventiq – Vinod Nair, President Noventiq India Operations
“Reflecting on 2023, it’s evident that it has been an extraordinary year for Noventiq. Our growth has been remarkable, now proudly standing in 60 countries with a dedicated team of 6,400 employees worldwide. This year marked a significant milestone with our business combination agreement with Corner Growth Acquisition Corp., paving our way towards listing on the Nasdaq. The successful closure of three acquisitions, culminating in a total of 14 M&As in the recent years, speaks volumes about our dynamic expansion. Moreover, we’ve extended our global footprint into new markets, including Indonesia, Singapore, Mexico, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia. A testament to our leadership in the cybersecurity arena is our recent incorporation to the Microsoft Intelligence and Security Association. Our global collaboration agreement with Amazon Web Services has also been a crucial step towards our business growth alongside this partner. Adding to our achievements is the launch of our groundbreaking AI solution, Weaver Peer, set to revolutionize daily work interactions. All these milestones show our commitment to enhancing our foundational capabilities, evidenced by our collaboration with Microsoft through our MISA integration, and further amplified by our focus on technological advancements in partnership with AWS and through our AI solution Weaver Peer.
We can say that despite the complexities of this year, marked by a notable rise in inflation and a global economic recession that has touched the technology sector, our industry has stood strong. And at Noventiq, we remain confident that our contributions will continue to be vital, particularly in the emerging markets where we focus our operations, with India being at the front as our company’s center of gravity.”
