https://techcrunch.com/2019/09/20/vianai-emerges-with-50m-seed-and-a-mission-to-simplify-machine-learning-tech/ > You don’t see a startup get a $50 million seed round all that often, but such was the case with Vianai, an early stage startup launched by Vishal Sikka, former Infosys managing director and SAP executive. The company launched recently with a big check and a vision to transform machine learning. > Just this week, the startup had a coming out party at Oracle Open World where Sikka delivered one of the keynotes and demoed the product for attendees. Over the last couple of years, since he left Infosys, Sikka has been thinking about the impact of AI and machine learning on society and the way it is being delivered today. He didn’t much like what he saw.
