LEADERSHIP PERSPECTIVE
"Our investment strategy is simple: we back AI companies that solve real enterprise problems," said Andy Gaur, CEO of Compunnel. "Eximius, TestGrid, and Dori have validated our approach – and now we're expanding the ecosystem. This incubator is about more than capital; it's about giving AI innovators direct access to enterprise customers, proven go-to-market strategies, and the infrastructure they need to scale. We're building the next generation of AI solutions that will power intelligent enterprises."

"The Noida facility is designed to be more than a delivery center – it's an innovation hub where startups can collaborate directly with our teams, learn from our enterprise engagements, and iterate rapidly based on real customer feedback," said Rakesh Shah, President of Compunnel. "We're looking for entrepreneurs who are as committed to enterprise transformation as we are."

"Compunnel was built on a simple belief – that technology succeeds because of people. More than thirty years later, that belief remains unchanged. Through CVai, we are investing not only in AI and innovation, but in founders whose vision, commitment, and perseverance have the potential to create lasting impact. Great companies are ultimately built by people and helping those people succeed is at the heart of what we do," said Vivek Kumar,  Founder, CVai.

Applications will be evaluated on innovation potential, technical capability, enterprise relevance, team strength, and alignment with Compunnel's strategic focus areas.
