Key Highlights
We are proud to announce that Covasant has achieved the ISO/IEC 42001:2023 accredited certification, the global gold standard for responsible AI governance. This milestone positions us alongside an elite group of technology leaders including Microsoft, IBM, AWS, and Snowflake as one of the few organizations worldwide to hold this certification. Combined with our existing ISO/IEC 27001 (Security) and ISO/IEC 27701 (Privacy) credentials, this reinforces our commitment to a "Governance-Led" ecosystem.
Covasant was honored to participate in a reception hosted by Gareth Wynn Owen (British Deputy High Commissioner) to celebrate the landmark UK–India Free Trade Agreement (FTA). The evening provided a significant opportunity to engage with distinguished leaders regarding the future of cross-border innovation, including Siddharth Vishwanathan (Head of Investment – Foreign Direct Investment), Jaya Choraria (UK Diplomat), and Gita Krishnankutty (Head of Inward Investment – Southern & Eastern India). Representing Covasant at the event were Subramanyam C. V. (MD & Chairman) and Nanda Padmaraju (CRO – UKEU, MEA & ANZ). This engagement underscores our strategic commitment to the UK market as we continue to invest in building Agentic AI products that help enterprises transition from AI ambition to AI at scale.
