San Francisco, September 15th, 2022 - Sigmoid, a data engineering, analytics and AI solutions company, announced that it has closed a Series B investment of $12 million, in a mix of primary and secondary funding from Sequoia Capital India.

“The last 12 months have been an inflexion point in our growth story. As we gear towards our next phase of growth, we are happy to see Sequoia Capital India continue to believe in us. This will help us to rapidly expand our capabilities in terms of solutions and talent to meet the ever-growing customer demand,” said Lokesh Anand, CEO and Co-Founder at Sigmoid.


“The AI/ML market continues to grow year-on-year and alongside, the need for solutions to help enterprises adopt and harness this power is growing exponentially. The team at Sigmoid, which stands out for its data and AI engineering excellence, are well-positioned to capture this opportunity.

Sigmoid has been helping organizations accelerate their digital transformation journey while adding scalability and agility: 


For a leading F500 FMCG company, Sigmoid developed self-adapting Multi-Touch Attribution models to enable in-flight campaign optimization, generating faster bi-weekly insights in a cost effective manner. This resulted in a 11% improvement on the return on marketing investments. 


In another case, for a leading investment bank Sigmoid developed, implemented and optimized the trade surveillance infrastructure to detect MAR, MiFID II and other regulatory compliance issues in a faster and more accurate manner. With the new infrastructure they could efficiently process over 100 MN rows of daily data and resolve various data integrity and latency challenges in their data pipelines. 


In the US, for a leading food manufacturer Sigmoid built a centralized data lake by integrating marketing, POS, and financial data in near real-time that made high quality harmonized data available for reporting and analysis across teams. This resulted in 2.5x faster turnaround time to insights.


Founded in 2013 by IIT alumni Lokesh Anand (CEO), Mayur Rustagi (CTO) and Rahul Kumar Singh (CAO), Sigmoid is rightly positioned to accelerate digital transformation for enterprises across industries, with data. Sigmoid builds reliable, scalable data pipelines and accelerators which empower organizations with faster access to business insights.
