Investment firm Recognize raises $1.7 bn for second digital services fund
Former Cognizant CEO Francisco D'Souza's technology investment firm Recognize has announced the final close of its second fund with $1.7 billion in total commitments. This fund comes on the heels of its first fund, which raised $1.3 billion in 2022. Co-founded by Managing Partners Francisco D'Souza, Charles Phillips, and David Wasserman, Recognize II continues to focus on investing in companies with enterprise values between approximately $50 million and $500 million. The firm believes companies at this stage offer strong potential for accelerated growth with the support of Recognize's partnership-driven value creation approach. 'We are incredibly grateful for the continued support of our partners,' said Debbie Park Munfa, Partner and Head of Investor Relations at Recognize. 'We remain focused on building digital services businesses for the future and partnering with excellent management teams to deliver long-term value for our investors.' Recognize II was oversubscribed and closed in less than five months from launch, with strong support from existing investors, including a significant GP commitment, and a curated group of new investors. The LP base includes leading global institutions such as endowments, foundations, pensions, insurers, family offices, outsourced CIOs and fund-of-funds across the US, Europe, Asia, and Latin America. Over the last six months, Recognize has made four new platform investments: SDG Corporation (cybersecurity services), Sprout (digital infrastructure services), TRANZACT (insurance services), and HealthEdge (SaaS for healthcare payers). The firm also completed two realisation events earlier this year: the exit of AST, sold to IBM (NYSE:IBM), and a partial exit of 2X through a strategic investment by Insight Partners. In 2024, Recognize also sold Torc, an AI-powered talent platform, to a subsidiary of Randstad (AMS:RAND). These realisations, in Recognize's view, further reinforce the firm's thesis that next-generation digital services firms are increasingly attractive to strategic buyers.

Andhra Tech Corridor To Take Quantum Leap Into Future Of Computing: 10 Points
New Delhi: Andhra Pradesh is set to become a global technology trailblazer with the launch of Quantum Valley, a futuristic technology corridor dedicated to quantum research and innovation. The initiative is scheduled to be inaugurated on January 1, 2026. Here are 10 points on Andhra's Quantum Valley project The project is being developed at a rapid pace under Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, who once conceptualised and built Cyberabad in Hyderabad. The Quantum Valley initiative also aligns with the National Quantum Mission introduced by the Centre in 2023, which has a financial allocation of Rs 6,000 crore. In contrast to conventional computers that operate using binary data (0 or 1), quantum computers use 'qubits', which have the capability to exist in multiple states at the same time due to the principle of superposition. The integration of entanglement allows quantum machines to efficiently process large datasets with remarkable speed. Developed nations acknowledge the significance of the quantum sector for advancing future research and demonstrating technological proficiency. The Institute for Quantum Computing, situated in Waterloo, Canada, is recognised as one of the foremost quantum research centres globally. China is at the forefront of advancements in quantum communication. With the launch of 'Micius', the world's first quantum satellite, China has successfully showcased the most secure method of data transmission ever accomplished on Earth. The Quantum Valley being developed in Amaravati holds the promise of achieving a significant position for India on the international quantum map. This is not merely a research hub; it has the potential to evolve into a global platform for uncovering quantum-based solutions, facilitated by the collaboration of education, industry, and startups. Hybrid computing, which integrates quantum and conventional systems, has the potential to produce substantial outcomes in areas including biology, materials science, and cryptography. Quantum computing will also have extensive applications ranging from electric vehicle batteries to the wider economy. The Andhra Pradesh State Quantum Mission will be implemented in two phases. The first will run from 2025 to 2027, and the second from 2027 to 2030. The first phase will focus on developing infrastructure, promoting education and research, and launching pilot programmes. The second phase will aim to position Andhra Pradesh as a global leader, with an emphasis on commercialization and enhancing export capabilities. Officials estimate that around Rs 4,000 crore will be spent on the mission over the next five years. A curtain raiser workshop was held in Vijayawada on June 25 with experts from companies like TCS and IBM. The chief minister's Secretary PS Pradyumna said quantum technology would soon enter everyday life faster than expected, delivering accurate and swift results. TCS advisor and National Quantum Mission member professor Anil Prabhakar said quantum technology would be immensely beneficial across sectors. He said research is already underway in different parts of the country and that quantum computing is playing a growing role in stock markets and cybersecurity.

Indian IT giants bet big on AI, rewire business DNAs for AI-driven future
Indian IT majors are aggressively repositioning themselves as AI-native firms, focusing on high-margin applications and integration over high-risk, capital-intensive foundational research. A deep dive into the FY25 annual reports from the industry behemoths --- TCS , Infosys , Wipro, and Tech Mahindra -- indicates that in the global AI race, India's tech titans are not competing to invent foundational AI, they are positioning themselves to become premier integrators of it. The shift from general digital transformation to a specific AI focus is captured in the very titles of their annual reports. TCS frames its strategy within "The Perpetually Adaptive Enterprise," driven by a stated "AI-First approach." Infosys takes an even more direct path with its theme, "AI Your Enterprise," while Wipro focuses on its role as an enabler in "Helping Clients Build AI-Powered Future-Ready Businesses." Tech Mahindra joins this chorus with "AI Delivered Right." The IT firms are laying a greater focus on investing in human capital and upskilling their workforce. TCS has reported that over 1 lakh of its employees have acquired "higher order skills in AI/ML and GenAI, while Infosys has said that over 2.70 lakh of its employees are now "AI-Aware". Similar trends are observed in Wipro and Tech Mahindra as well. "The advent of AI with all its possibilities and potential creates another arc of uncertainty. As enterprises look at applying AI to every aspect of the business, some long-standing challenges will become imperative and self-evident to firms," Infosys Chairman Nandan Nilekani said. The need to modernise legacy systems and create a data architecture so that all the firm's data is consumable by AI, in a holistic manner, can no longer be put off, he said and urged enterprises to have an AI foundry and an AI factory to fuel innovation as well as scale. "Let us think of AI as a gifted child prodigy born and brought up in a library. It has access to all the knowledge in the world. It absorbs everything -- information, fact, fiction, truth, untruth, every pattern of human behaviour. Used well, it can create extraordinary value, particularly for businesses like TechM," Mahindra Group Chairman Anand G Mahindra said. The global AI market is projected to skyrocket, reaching an estimated $1.3 trillion over the next decade, according to industry estimates. The IT firms are not building their own large language models (LLMs) to compete with OpenAI or Google. Instead, they are deepening partnerships with hyperscalers (Microsoft, Google, AWS) and chipmakers (Nvidia) to access the latest models and infrastructure. Firms are creating dedicated spaces for co-innovation, TCS is establishing AI Centres of Excellence and AI Labs, while Infosys is building its AI foundry, allowing clients to experiment with AI in a controlled environment. Their bet is that as AI becomes a utility, the most enduring value will be captured not by those who create it, but by those who can expertly wire it into every corner of the enterprise. India's largest IT services company TCS believes that generative artificial intelligence (AI) is not just another tech cycle but a "civilisational shift" which will positively benefit every industry. Tata Sons chairman N Chandrasekaran, who also chairs the TCS board, said the $30 billion IT services company will create a "large pool" of AI agents to work alongside humans and deliver solutions in a "human AI" model in the future. Wipro announced realignment within its Global Business Lines (GBLs) to better align with the changing needs of clients and to capitalise on opportunities in AI, cloud computing, and digital transformation. "This evolution of our business lines will enable us to further sharpen our focus towards client needs with consulting-led and AI-powered solutions. This realignment will allow us to serve our clients better, enabling us to deliver tailored, high-impact transformation," Wipro CEO and MD Srini Pallia had said. PTI
