Former Infosys CEO Vishal Sikka has returned to the startup spotlight with the launch of Hang Ten Systems, a new artificial intelligence-focused company that has already secured $32 million in funding.
The venture aims to help businesses adopt and scale AI technologies more effectively at a time when demand for artificial intelligence solutions is growing rapidly across industries. The funding round has attracted support from investors who see significant opportunities in enterprise AI and the next phase of digital transformation.
Announcing the launch, Sikka described the current AI boom as a transformational moment for technology and business. He said organisations around the world are looking for practical ways to integrate AI into their operations, products and customer experiences, creating a major opportunity for companies that can simplify that transition.
Hang Ten Systems plans to focus on AI-powered services and solutions for enterprises. While specific product details remain limited, the company is expected to help businesses deploy AI tools, automate processes and improve decision-making through advanced technologies. The startup’s strategy is centred on making artificial intelligence more accessible and useful for organisations seeking measurable business outcomes.
Sikka is widely recognised for his role in shaping Infosys’ digital transformation strategy during his tenure as chief executive. After leaving the IT giant, he remained active in the technology sector through research, innovation and entrepreneurship initiatives. His latest venture reflects his continued belief that AI will fundamentally reshape industries and the future of work.
The launch comes amid intense global competition in artificial intelligence. Technology companies, startups and investors are pouring billions of dollars into AI development as businesses increasingly seek solutions that improve efficiency, productivity and customer engagement.
The $32 million funding provides the startup with resources to build technology, attract talent and expand operations. It also signals investor confidence in Sikka’s vision and leadership within the rapidly evolving AI landscape.
