Vishal Sikka, the long-time CEO of Infosys, is set to launch a new IT firm backed by two major technology investors. The company, which will be called VianAI, has been touted as a bold tech revolution in sight with the backing of Mayfield and Aramco Ventures.
The venture was announced earlier this month after Sikka stepped down from his role at Infosys citing a desire to pursue new opportunities. He has been actively involved in various entrepreneurial ventures over the years but had not ventured out on his own for several years. The new firm is expected to be a significant departure from Infosys' traditional model, with Sikka bringing together veterans from major technology companies such as SAP and VianAI.
The exact details of the company's strategy are still emerging, but sources close to the project say that it will focus on developing innovative solutions in areas such as artificial intelligence and cloud computing. With Sikka at the helm, VianAI is expected to be a force to be reckoned with in the tech industry, bringing together expertise from some of the world's leading companies.
