What CEBS does

CEBS Worldwide is a founder-owned, Houston-headquartered global IT company founded in 2003 that delivers digital transformation solutions to government agencies and large enterprises across banking, ports and customs, smart cities, real estate, hospitality, climate resilience, and supply chain finance. The company operates a portfolio of six proprietary platforms — URJA (digital twin for building energy management), ISEEY (enterprise AI as a service with tiered subscriptions), REIMS (blockchain-based property registry with digital IDs and smart contracts), PIRIKA (blockchain document verification with QR scanning and zero-trust security), Rakuda (no-code AI e-marketplace builder for B2B, B2C, B2B2C, G2B, and G2C models), and Voxi (multilingual AI voice concierge for hotels) — supported by dedicated platforms for smart energy, secure document exchange, border trade, food safety, and capital markets. These products are built on shared underlying technology in AI/ML (NLP, predictive analytics, anomaly detection, computer vision, autonomous agents), blockchain (smart contracts, cross-chain), IoT, digital twin simulation, and cybersecurity.

The company monetizes through professional services for custom consulting and systems integration, enterprise platform licensing for URJA, PIRIKA, and REIMS, recurring SaaS subscriptions for ISEEY (Starter, Accelerator, Professional, and Enterprise tiers with a free lifetime plan), and bundled managed services for ongoing platform operations. Go-to-market is primarily direct enterprise field sales supported by a global partner ecosystem anchored by an IBM Business Partner relationship (Watson Commerce, 2018 Beacon Award winner) and a 20+ partner network including HCL Technologies, Genetec, Fluent Commerce, CargoX, Sensoneo, and Kodit. Regional leadership teams and offices across the United States, United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, Singapore, Australia, India, Egypt, South Korea, and East Africa enable locally adapted deployments for governments and multinationals, while the ISEEY self-service channel provides a product-led growth motion for smaller organizations. CEBS is privately held by its founders Satish Swaroop (CEO) and Richa Srivastava (COO) with no disclosed funding rounds and serves clients from startups and SMEs to Fortune 500 and national government agencies across more than nine countries.
