What Ness Digital Engineering does

Ness Digital Engineering (legal entity Ness Technologies, Inc.) is a global digital engineering services firm headquartered in Teaneck, New Jersey, operating as a private company and portfolio company of KKR since 2022. The company delivers cloud modernization, data and AI, intelligent engineering, Salesforce, integration and streaming, and Global Capability Center transformation services to enterprise clients across seven verticals: Financial Services, Manufacturing & Transportation, Media & Entertainment, Technology & ISVs, Retail, Private Equity, and Healthcare & Life Sciences. Revenue is generated through enterprise consulting engagements, typically structured as time-and-materials or outcome-based contracts, sold through direct field sales with a consulting-led co-creation approach. All revenue flows through direct enterprise channels; no self-serve or marketplace distribution is used. Reported enterprise customers include Porsche, Michelin Connected Fleet, Universal Music Group, Woolworths, Canadian Tire, a ~$90B-asset US regional bank, and a Fortune 500 gas turbine OEM, among others.

The company's core proprietary technology is ATONIS, an AI-powered full-lifecycle software development workbench that embeds intelligence across the entire SDLC, with a sub-component called ATONIS SemanticIntelligence for enterprise decision intelligence. A secondary platform, Matrix, provides engineering intelligence and delivery performance insights. Ness holds highest-tier partnerships with Snowflake (Elite), Databricks (Select, with Brickbuilder specializations), AWS (Premier Consulting Partner), Confluent (Elite), and Salesforce (146 verified projects, 118+ certified experts, 400+ certifications). The firm operates from delivery centers in the United States, India, Portugal, Mexico (Guadalajara), Colombia, and additional locations in Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. Leadership transitioned from Dr. Ranjit Tinaikar to Sudip Singh (former CEO of ITC Infotech, ex-Infosys SVP) in early 2026, alongside a dedicated CTO hire for ATONIS, signaling a renewed focus on scaling AI-driven services and Latin American expansion.
