Deploying the AI Workforce through Infosys.

NinjaTech is now an Infosys portfolio company. We have a one-year exclusive window to land joint pilots, prove the deployment model, and turn the 300K-strong Infosys delivery base into the largest enterprise distribution engine for AI Employees on the planet.

01 · Big news

The opening, in plain English.

Two facts reshape every pipeline and roadmap conversation we have for the next twelve months.

01
Portfolio status
NinjaTech is officially an Infosys portfolio company.

The partnership is signed and in motion. Infosys is not a channel, not a reseller, not an integrator we tolerate. They sit on the cap table. Their delivery teams, their account executives, their Topaz fabric, all carry incentives aligned to our growth.

02
Distribution window
One-year exclusive to prove the model.

Twelve months to land joint pilots, publish reference customers, and design how we co-sell the AI Workforce and deliver services jointly. After that window, competitive solutions enter the same accounts. Speed of pipeline build is the single most important metric this year.

02 · Themes that landed in the room

Six product directions, surfaced by Deepak live.

Modernization, an app-meta layer, central orchestration, vertical agents, auditing, and continuous knowledge surveillance. These map directly to existing Infosys engagement types, which is why they matter.

🛠
Modernization

Taking existing client applications and rebuilding them with modern stacks, or designing net-new applications from scratch for those same organizations.

📦
App-modernizer meta-product

Build a meta-application whose specific job is to modernize old, clunky enterprise applications, turning them into faster, more usable, AI-augmented products without a full rewrite.

🎛
Central orchestration layer

Have SuperNinja act as the central orchestration layer, managing all other applications and agents from one place so users get a single front door into the workforce.

🧩
Use-case-specific agents

Each agent tuned to a particular enterprise workflow, rather than relying on one general-purpose agent to handle every job. Depth beats generality at the buyer level.

🛡
Auditing of data and documents

An agent that continuously scans customer data lakes, contracts, or compliance artifacts for anomalies, drift, or risk flags. Particularly valuable in BFSI, insurance, and healthcare where regulators require provable audit trails.

📡
Continuous knowledge research

Agents that run perpetual surveillance on a specific domain (competitive pricing, supplier inventory, regulatory filings) and surface deltas to the user only when a threshold is crossed, instead of dumping raw feeds.

03 · The four opportunity areas

What Deepak framed — and how the room ranked it.

Deepak laid out four ways to take Ninja to Infosys customers. Armand ranked them by ease of landing; Deepak endorsed the order ("I like your ranking"). The agreement: phase it across ~90 days, start with the orchestration layer, don't boil the ocean.

Customer-facing orchestration layer

Priority / lowest-hanging fruit. A middleware agent layer that holds full conversation context and calls multiple systems and agents (RAG, SAP, Salesforce, Azure) to answer a customer end-to-end. Deepak's "holy grail" — there is real agent sprawl, 2–3 live RFPs, and Topaz has only a weak play here. Positioned as the alternative to Salesforce Agentforce.

Modernization of legacy apps

Tied second. Retire / "agentify" legacy apps, move them to cloud, and build small fit-for-purpose apps (fraud management, warranty management for manufacturing) — spec-based coding with a real database and workflows, not throwaway "vibe coding."

De-SaaS-ification (off Salesforce)

Tied second. Salesforce has ~170K customers and many are frustrated (clunky, costly); today their only alternative is Dynamics. Lift apps off Salesforce one at a time over ~2 years — e.g. Encino (a clunky 20-screen lending app) rebuilt as a custom app. Open question: how to manage Salesforce's ongoing feature releases afterward.

Pre-built domain agent suites

Highest effort. Arrive at a customer with a ready vertical suite (contact center for payers, prior-auth, patient / customer onboarding + KYC). Needs the most build and customer feedback — the platform stitches components together with human-in-the-loop, it doesn't have to ship everything pre-built.

04 · Live pipeline

Real accounts, named in the room.

These aren't hypotheticals — Suyash walked the team through warm, in-flight opportunities where Ninja can land now, plus a set already brewing. "Use cases are what's gonna land us."

Citizens — contact center on AWS

Contact-center build on AWS Connect needing case management + a knowledge base; they were defaulting to Salesforce. Suyash holds the full architecture and is pushing it with Bal & Dushyant. The warm anchor account.

AnchorAWS ConnectBFSI
Voltran / Zio — pricing + orchestration

ServiceNow + Salesforce + Zuora on a Snowflake data lake. 70% of pricing is custom (only 30% on the price sheet) at a $4B-revenue company, done today by manual spreadsheet dumps. Ninja = the pricing/reasoning engine + the orchestration layer.

SnowflakePricing engineOrchestration
American Airlines — AI-native loyalty

Loyalty currently on Siebel; they want an AI-native loyalty platform and find Salesforce Loyalty Cloud too pricey and too new. A differentiated travel & hospitality showcase.

LoyaltyTravelSiebel replace
Cisco — customer onboarding

Onboarding use case (Suresh-driven), with the relevant context already shared. Sits squarely in the modernization + orchestration sweet spot.

OnboardingWarm
Also brewing + ready-built

Avnet, Teladoc, Molina, and AT&T (AT&T willing to take a product demo). Plus a banking fraud use case that is already built (no rebuild) and contact center as a cross-industry play with AWS support.

05 · How we deliver

The Forward-Deployed Engineer motion.

Arash's delivery model, and the heart of the co-sell: an FDE is "as critical as the AI employee." Build a POC in 24 hours, iterate live with the customer, then clone the working agent across accounts. The customer doesn't even have to live in Slack — Infosys / Simplus can run it for them and bill the hours.

STEP 01
Channel
Spin up one Slack (or Teams) channel per customer — the single workspace for the work.
STEP 02
Context
Load context + integrations: 3,000+ apps, a cloud browser, CSVs / spreadsheets, dummy data.
STEP 03
Build + guardrails
Agents accumulate context; define observability and human-in-the-loop checkpoints.
STEP 04
24-hr POC
Put a working POC in front of the customer next-day; get approve / iterate feedback live.
STEP 05
Clone
Once it works, clone the agent to many customers. Specialization via multiple agents.
"Replace headcount, not seats.
Sell against the customer's existing payroll line, not their software stack."
Pricing wedge · GTM play #06
06 · GTM plays

Seven plays for the joint motion.

Each play is built so an Infosys consultant can run it without back-office support from us, and so the pricing slots into the customer's existing procurement path. Pilots over POCs. Headcount-cost over seat-licenses. Verticals over breadth.

01
Topaz-anchor pilot model

Bundle a NinjaTech agent into a 30-day pilot inside an existing Infosys Topaz engagement. Pricing rolls into the Topaz SOW so the customer's procurement path stays unchanged, and time-to-value is measured in days, not quarters.

30-day Topaz SOW Zero procurement lift
02
Co-branded AI Employees SKU

Ship a packaged offering tied to specific named roles (AI Customer Support Specialist, AI Procurement Analyst, AI Loan Underwriter Assistant). Sell against the customer's existing headcount lines on their general ledger, not against software seat licenses.

SKU-fied Named roles G/L mapping
03
Vertical-first wedge

Pick two to three verticals where Infosys is deepest (BFSI, Insurance, Healthcare Payers) and ship vertical-specific agent packs first. Depth in three verticals beats breadth in thirty, and gives Infosys delivery teams reusable playbooks instead of bespoke builds.

BFSI Insurance Healthcare Payers
04
Consultant-led pull motion

Train the Infosys consultant base on a small set of canonical NinjaTech use-cases so every consultant already on a customer site becomes a potential deal trigger. Bonus: consultants get AI tooling they actually use day-to-day, which is the strongest possible reference selling motion.

Bottom-up Train the trainer Channel velocity
05
Anchor-customer flywheel

Turn the warmest existing Topaz customer (e.g. Citizens Financial Bengaluru Hub) into the public reference case study, and open the next five BFSI accounts off that single win. Reference quality beats reference quantity at this stage.

Citizens Financial Bengaluru Hub 5-account flywheel
06
Replace-headcount pricing anchor

Tie pricing to fully-loaded headcount cost, not seats. The ROI story that lands with COOs is one AI agent at a fraction of the cost of a junior analyst, working 24/7, with no attrition risk. The unit economics map cleanly to their existing budgeting model.

Loaded-cost ROI 24/7 No attrition
07
Compliance-grade deployments as the moat

Lean into VPC and on-prem single-tenant for regulated verticals. Consumer-grade assistants (Copilot, Gemini Enterprise, ChatGPT Enterprise) cannot meet BFSI, healthcare, or government compliance bars. That is the structural moat, and it should anchor every regulated-vertical pitch.

VPC On-prem single-tenant Structural moat
07 · The moat, visualized

Why the regulated stack is ours to lose.

Consumer-grade assistants from the hyperscalers cannot meet the regulatory posture demanded by BFSI, healthcare, government, and defense. That gap is the structural moat. We should anchor every regulated-vertical conversation on it.

The compliance ladder we own.

Four layers, top to bottom. The hyperscalers cannot ship the top two without rebuilding their entire control plane. We ship them today. Every BFSI, healthcare, and government conversation should start at the top of this ladder and refuse to come down.

08 · ICP lens

Who we sell to, who we don't.

Three lenses. The buyer inside the customer organization, the account that fits the joint motion, and the anti-pattern we deprioritize in year one to keep velocity up.

Lens 01 · Buyer
Inside the customer
Title
COO, VP or SVP of Operations, Chief AI Officer, Chief Digital Officer, or the Infosys partner-level account executive who already owns the relationship.
Pain
Hiring freeze paired with growth mandate, middle-management capacity ceiling, AI literacy gap that internal training cannot close fast enough.
Budget
Discretionary OpEx in the $1M to $5M per year range under a transformation or AI-initiative line item.
Trigger
An Infosys engagement is already in delivery, the customer is paying the SI, and now needs measurable AI ROI to show the board before the next planning cycle.
Lens 03 · Anti-ICP
Deprioritize in year one
Mid-market
Shops under 1,000 employees: lifetime value does not justify the enablement cost Infosys has to absorb to sell into them.
Greenfield Infosys-cold
Pure greenfield AI accounts where Infosys has no prior relationship. The sales cycle stretches into a multi-quarter cold motion, rather than the land-and-expand flywheel this partnership is built for.
Public sector
Heavy compliance work (FedRAMP, FISMA, IL5) in year one. 12+ months of compliance lift that does not pay back inside the one-year exclusive window. Park these for year two.
09 · The 30-day pilot path

From Topaz engagement to flywheel.

Every deal we want to close in year one runs this exact path. Five steps, thirty days each at most, no exceptions, no detours.

STEP 01
Topaz live
Customer already has an active Topaz engagement and pays Infosys.
STEP 02
30-day pilot
One named AI Employee, one workflow, one COO-defendable ROI metric.
STEP 03
Reference
Public case study with hard numbers, jointly authored with Infosys.
STEP 04
Expand
Same account, add 3 more agents along the workflow chain.
STEP 05
Flywheel
Five new accounts open off the single reference. Repeat the loop.
