In a landmark move set to redefine the enterprise AI landscape, Covasant Technologies Private Limited, a pioneer in Agentic AI solutions based in Hyderabad, India, has announced its merger with two prominent US-based companies: konaAI, based in Texas, and DCube Data Sciences Corporation, based in California. This strategic fusion, driven by proven industry leaders, positions Covasant at the forefront of global innovation in intelligent compliance, cybersecurity, risk management, and data engineering for enterprises.
By integrating konaAI’s best-in-industry, AI-led compliance expertise and DCube’s coveted cybersecurity and eDiscovery strengths, Covasant is poised to significantly expand its services portfolio, reinforcing its commitment to delivering robust, end-to-end, AI-led enterprise governance solutions to its global clientele.
Powering the Next Wave of Enterprise AI
Covasant’s AI-led Services-as-Software delivery model integrates proprietary Agentic AI systems, predictive analytics, intelligent automation, and seamless data orchestration to empower enterprises to unlock value from data, make real-time decisions with confidence, and drive continuous innovation.
The company is helmed by C.V. Subramanyam, a serial entrepreneur renowned for his proven leadership and impeccable execution. Before founding Covasant, Subramanyam built Cigniti Technologies from the ground up, transforming it into a global powerhouse in digital assurance with over $250 million in revenue, a $500 million market capitalization, and a 5,000-strong workforce serving Fortune 500 clients globally. His proven track record of converting bold vision into high-growth reality sets the stage for Covasant’s ambitious future.
Speaking about the strategic merger, C.V. Subramanyam, Chairman and MD, Covasant Technologies, said, “We at Covasant are leading the charge in enterprise intelligence with Agentic AI. It’s about moving far beyond automation to embed AI into the very core of our clients’business, delivering real and measurable business impact. This journey is massively accelerated by joining forces with konaAI and DCube. Their world-class expertise and Fortune 500 customer base is a perfect strategic fit, and we are excited to leverage these combined strengths to offer clients an unmatched suite of solutions for end-to-end Agentic AI adoption, significantly lowering their risk and improving business performance. This merger is a critical step in realizing our vision to become the definitive leader in Agentic AI-led Services-as-Software.”
Anil Kona, now the Chief Operating Officer & Executive Director at Covasant, brings a rare, cross-disciplinary perspective to the new entity. A serial entrepreneur and technology leader, his journey began with over a decade in law enforcement’s elite Special Intelligence Branch (SIB). He later translated this investigative mindset into pivotal roles at Deloitte and EY, leading high-impact teams in forensic analytics and fraud investigations. As the founder of konaAI and DCube, he has a distinguished history of delivering cutting-edge cybersecurity and legal tech solutions to a global clientele.
Anil Kona, Founder of konaAI and DCube, said, “At konaAI and DCube, our focus has always been on empowering global clients with a holistic approach to Enterprise Risk Management, enabling them to detect compliance anomalies, uncover fraud, waste and abuse across financial transaction ecosystems, and strengthening their cybersecurity posture. Joining forces with Covasant enhances our ability to harness advanced AI to deliver real-time, preventive compliance and risk solutions that drive stronger business outcomes.”
Navigating the Agentic AI Paradox: A Market at a Crossroads
This merger arrives at a pivotal moment for the global tech landscape. The Agentic AI market in India is poised for explosive growth, projected by Grand View Research to soar to USD $1,730.5 million by 2030 at a staggering 53.9% CAGR. However, this immense opportunity presents a critical paradox: as enterprises rush to adopt AI, they simultaneously open themselves up to new, complex risk vectors and significant implementation hurdles.
Industry analysts like Forrester have noted that a majority of enterprises will face setbacks in their agentic AI efforts due to a lack of clear strategy, data complexity, and robust governance. The very power that makes Agentic AI transformative, also makes secure and effective deployment a high-stakes challenge.
It is precisely this challenge that the Covasant merger is designed to solve. By fusing Covasant’s AI engineering prowess with konaAI’s intelligent compliance and DCube’scybersecurity strengths, the new entity directly confronts these adoption barriers with practical, highly scalable and easy-to-use solutions. It provides a unified platform and deep domain expertise that enable clients to harness the power of Agentic AI strategically and securely, maximizing business value while minimizing risk.
