On September 30, 2024, Persistent Systems announced its plans to acquire Arrka, a leading Pune-based data privacy company. This strategic move strengthens Persistent’s position in AI-led, platform-driven services and allows it to offer comprehensive digital governance solutions, including data privacy, AI governance, and cybersecurity.

Arrka’s decade-long expertise in data privacy and its innovative Data Privacy Management platform will significantly enhance Persistent’s capabilities. With the increasing adoption of AI, responsible and ethical AI governance is becoming crucial for enterprises. Persistent is addressing this growing demand through strategic investments in AI platforms like SASVA™ and acquisitions like Starfish Associates.

The acquisition of Arrka is a key step in scaling Persistent’s AI practice and delivering comprehensive, platform-driven digital solutions that prioritise responsibility, ethics, and compliance.

Sandeep Kalra, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director, Persistent “Arrka’s acquisition perfectly aligns with our vision to deliver AI-driven services that fuel innovation and ensure data privacy, ethics, and compliance at every stage. By integrating Arrka’s expertise with our AI-led, platform-driven services strategy, we are empowering businesses to innovate responsibly while managing risk and compliance more effectively. Their mature frameworks and Data Privacy Management platform provide a scalable foundation to ensure this new capability is platform-driven and embeds governance from the outset, which is now critical for successful AI implementations. We’re delighted to welcome Shivangi and her talented team as we strengthen our digital governance and data privacy offerings and shape the future of responsible AI together.”

Shivangi Nadkarni, Co-Founder, Arrka “The acquisition by Persistent catapults Arrka onto the global stage. With the strength and resources of Persistent, we now have the opportunity to go from what has been a specialist, boutique business working with select long-term clients in India, to expanding our footprint into global markets and deepening our expertise rapidly in multiple areas of digital governance. Moreover, this has come at an opportune time, just when this domain is experiencing significant growth globally with the rise of AI. The Arrka team is excited by the opportunities ahead.”
