What iTalanta does

Elewa operates as a software development and IT services company with dual offices in Nairobi, Kenya and Halle, Belgium, founded in 2015. Its core offering spans four interlocking service lines: Solution Design & Architecture consulting, Odoo ERP implementation (delivered as an official Odoo partner), custom software development with a stated 3–4 month MVP delivery cadence, and an AI Adoption & Services practice covering managed training, data lakes, AI agents, MCP development, and sovereign/self-hosted AI deployments. The company is positioned as "AI-native in Design, Service & Operations," with AI integrated across its internal services workflow rather than offered as a standalone product.

The customer base is concentrated in startups and SMEs across the EU, UK, and Africa, with named engagements including Syndic4you (real-estate management) and Spotlights (a relationship referenced as multi-year). The commercial model is built on fixed scope/fixed price project engagements, ERP consulting packages, an "Elite Teams" managed-services/staffing offering for team augmentation, and "Success Packs" that bundle Odoo and AI services. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, and the firm does not publish revenue or ARR.

From a data integrity note: the firmographic header in the input lists the company as "iTalanta" (website italanta.net, founded 2020, 18 employees, Nairobi), while all substantive content — the elewa.ke domain, Belgian VAT registration, founding year, team list, and product descriptions — describes Elewa. These two are inconsistent; the analysis above is grounded in the substantive Elewa dataset, which is materially richer and self-consistent.

Broad incumbents

• Genpact: Genpact is a large global professional services firm offering IT services, digital transformation, and AI/automation capabilities. It competes in the broader enterprise digital services space where Elewa positions its AI adoption and engineering services.
• Cegeka: Cegeka is a major Belgian-headquartered IT services group offering custom development, cloud, and managed services across Europe. It is a natural competitive reference for Elewa's Belgian operations and for the European SME segment Elewa targets.
• Thoughtworks: Thoughtworks is a large global IT services and custom software development firm with deep digital transformation capabilities. It competes with Elewa on enterprise-scale custom software and AI engineering engagements, but at a substantially larger scale and broader market.
• Slalom: Slalom is a global consulting and technology services firm focused on digital transformation and product development. It overlaps with Elewa's 'Solution Design & Architecture' and custom software development offerings, primarily for mid-market and enterprise clients.
• Infosys: Infosys is a global IT services giant offering custom application development, ERP services, and AI engineering. It competes with Elewa on enterprise-scale software delivery and AI work, though at vastly different scale and price points.

Emerging players

• Toptal: Toptal operates a premium freelance talent marketplace connecting companies with software engineers, designers, and consultants. It competes with Elewa's scalable resourcing offering by providing on-demand talent for product development engagements.
• Turing: Turing is an AI-native platform that connects companies with remote developers, including a strong emerging-market talent pool. It competes with Elewa on remote engineering talent matching and AI-augmented development services.

Direct peers

• Andela: Andela is a global talent marketplace built around African engineers placed into international companies. It directly competes with Elewa's Kenya-based engineering delivery model for serving European and US clients, with a much larger scale and brand.
• CloudFactory: CloudFactory provides managed teams of engineers and data professionals from emerging markets to enterprise clients. It mirrors Elewa's 'scalable resourcing / elite teams' offering and emerging-market-to-Western delivery model, and competes in the same talent-arbitrage segment.
• Bamba: Bamba is a Nairobi-based software development and IT services firm serving African and international clients. It competes head-to-head with Elewa for Kenyan engineering talent and for SME/startup digital transformation projects in East Africa.
