Tenarai

What Tenarai does

Tenarai (formerly Infogain) is a private, Apax Funds–backed enterprise AI acceleration company headquartered in Los Gatos, California, employing 5,500+ people across delivery centers in the US (Los Gatos, Seattle, Dallas, Plano, Irvine), India (Noida, Bengaluru, Pune, Gurgaon, Mumbai), Europe (London, Kraków), Singapore, and Montevideo. The firm serves Fortune 500 leaders across six verticals — technology, retail/CPG, travel, insurance, healthcare, and telecom — and claims customer penetration including 5 of 6 top global technology companies, 3 of 5 top global retail leaders, and 2 of 5 largest global beverage companies. Its core proposition is helping enterprises move from AI ambition to measurable production outcomes by combining domain expertise with proprietary AI tooling.

Tenarai's product architecture centers on two proprietary platforms: Ignis, an AI orchestration and access layer that enables custom RAG-based agents, guardrails, access controls, and drag-and-drop agentic workflows (with explicit access to public LLMs), and Archer, an automated data migration accelerator for unifying enterprise data into modern cloud foundations. These are wrapped around a set of verticalized solutions — the Agentic Accelerator for e-commerce content migrations, AI Content Transformation for marketers, Demand Forecasting with AI, Hybrid Agentic PODs for engineering, Enterprise Agent Orchestration, and Enterprise Data Unification — plus the Frontier Labs delivery program and Startup Acceleration Program. Strategic 'Core' partnerships with Databricks, Salesforce, Google Cloud, Adobe, Microsoft, and AWS, plus Arize AI for observability and academic MoUs with NIT Delhi and BITS Pilani, anchor the ecosystem around these platforms.

The business model is enterprise AI professional services sold through a direct field sales motion to large multinational clients, with custom engagement structures and no public pricing. Revenue is generated primarily through multi-year transformation and managed support engagements spanning strategy, implementation, and ongoing managed services. The firm has grown historically via a combination of organic expansion and bolt-on acquisitions (NNT in 2021, Impaqtive in 2024, plus several prior deals) and is currently led by CEO Dinesh Venugopal with board oversight from Shashank Samant (Board Chair), Krishnakumar Natarajan (co-founder of Mindtree), and representatives of Apax Partners.
