Acision

What Acision does

Acision is a mobile communications network infrastructure company specializing in messaging and charging systems for telecommunications operators. Founded in 1992 and headquartered in Gurgaon, India, the company operates with a workforce of 1,001-5,000 employees and serves mobile network operators globally with carrier-grade infrastructure for SMS/messaging, charging/billing, and related value-added services. The company maintains a regional operating model, with dedicated leadership for Latin America (anchored by an America Movil-focused Mexico business unit) and Asia Pacific.

The company's growth has been shaped by a combination of organic development and inorganic expansion. In 2010, Acision raised $100 million in a funding round led by Access Industries, with participation from Atlantic Bridge and International Investment & Underwriting Limited. In September 2014, the company executed two acquisitions — Xura Secure Communications and MindMatics AG — broadening its portfolio into secure communications and mobile value-added services. Leadership is anchored by CEO Adolfo Hernandez, with founder Lawrence Quinn and an executive team covering engineering, HR, and regional operations.

Acision's business model is enterprise B2B, selling messaging and charging infrastructure to mobile network operators through what appears to be a direct enterprise sales motion with regional account teams. The buyer base is concentrated among a relatively small number of tier-1 telecom carriers, with America Movil appearing to be a strategically significant account based on the existence of a dedicated executive role for that relationship. No public revenue, pricing, or product roadmap disclosures are available in the input, and the company does not appear to have a public profile of AI/ML capabilities despite operating in an industry where peers are increasingly positioning around AI-native network automation.
