GCC operator ANSR buys AI tech firm FastNext

ANSR, a company that establishes and operates global capability centres (GCCs) for large enterprises, has announced the acquisition of FastNext in an all-stock deal. An AI-driven tech company, FastNext was incubated by CoffeeBeans, a boutique product and technology services firm, and has over 20 employees. ANSR said the acquisition will enable it to help its clients build their GCC teams using deep learning and AI-powered tools across talent acquisition and management, smart workspace management and business workflows. "Organisations aren't going digital, they are digital. Building global capability and engineering centres for technology innovation is a priority for multiple Fortune 1000 companies. We are excited to integrate FastNext's portfolio of AI-based tools and solutions into our portfolio so that data is at the core of everything that our customers do to win in the digital age," said Lalit Ahuja, founder and CEO, ANSR.
