“Our years delivering software to large global enterprises showed us Chief Investment Officers (CIOs) are struggling to manage sprawling IT infrastructure costs with legacy solutions and spreadsheets that are inflexible, slow to deploy, and expensive to maintain. We knew how to solve this by leveraging AI,” said Ravi Kuppan, Yarken Chief Executive Officer.

It is noted that the ITFM market is projected to grow at 12.7 percent per annum and hit $14 billion (according to Business Research Insights, forecast period 2025-2033).

This growth is driven by CIOs’ increasing need for solutions to effectively manage and forecast complex cloud and on-premises investments as well as managing software licenses and usage across multiple business units.

Scott Krivokopich, Founding Managing Partner at 1982 Ventures, stated that the firm is excited to support founders like Ravi and Vaibhav, who have a proven track record of building and exiting successful enterprise software companies.

“Our investment in Yarken fits perfectly within our strategy of backing companies that are leveraging AI to transform financial services and enterprise operations. Yarken’s innovative approach to IT financial management, powered by native AI, is precisely the kind of disruption we believe will reshape the industry,” he added.
