Bengaluru-based Tredence raises $175 million

Tredence, a startup that specializes in data science and artificial intelligence (AI), has secured a $175 million Series B round of funding from private equity firm Advent International. The firm said in a statement that these monies will be used to “accelerate data-fueled growth” and “AI value realization for sectors” even though the agreement’s entire financial details have not been made public.

As part of this, Advent will become a board member of Tredence. Encora, CI&T, NielsenIQ, Neoris, Sophos Solutions, Aareon, Canvia, and QuEST Global Services are a few recent examples of Tredence’s investments in information technology and information services. One of Tredence’s current investors, Chicago Pacific Founders, a PE firm that joined in 2020, also participated in the round. The IT firm with its headquarters in Bengaluru was established in 2013 by co-founders of Indian descent, including Shub Bhowmick, Sumit Mehra, and Shashank Dubey.
