Private equity firms are embedding AI-driven value creation
Coforge Limited (NSE: COFORGE), a global AI-native engineering services leader, has launched a new business unit focused on the Private Equity (PE) sector amidst changing market conditions, challenging valuations, and longer hold periods have made strong portfolio performance and technology transformation essential.
Drawing on Coforge management’s exceptional record of turning around businesses including NIIT Technologies, Incessant Technologies, SLK Global, Cigniti Technologies, and Encora LLC, this new unit will leverage Coforge’s expertise and playbooks to help PE firms drive value.
Private equity firms are increasingly focused on operational transformation, EBITDA improvement, and scaling growth vectors to drive investment returns, according to Coforge.
“Coforge has worked closely with PE firms for more than a decade. We are recognized for having an execution intensity that is uniquely our own. That execution intensity has helped us turn around a string of acquisitions and accelerate the growth and margin expansion across all our acquired entities,” said Preeti Singh, Executive Vice President and Head of North America, Coforge.
“Our acquisition integration playbook has allowed us to leverage technology to create enterprise value at scale over the last decade. Consequently, this new business unit is aligned with our DNA as a company. Private equity firms are moving from exploring AI opportunities to embedding AI-driven value creation into their investment strategies. Executing AI initiatives at scale across the portfolio is becoming a strategic differentiator that requires a repeatable, scalable model tied to measurable business outcomes,” Singh said in a relrease on 11 Aug.
Powered by Coforge Nuuron, an AI operating system and enterprise autonomy platform, Coforge’s PE business unit combines technology, data, governance, and execution expertise to deliver services that go beyond traditional deal advisory or technology solutions. As AI becomes increasingly embedded into investment strategies and portfolio operations, private equity firms will turn to experienced service providers like Coforge that enable them to drive sustainable enterprise value across the investment lifecycle and for portfolio companies.
