Former Infosys CEO Vishal Sikka has launched Hang Ten Systems, a new artificial intelligence startup aimed at helping large enterprises accelerate AI adoption and bridge the growing gap between AI ambition and execution.
Announcing the venture on Wednesday, Sikka described AI as a “massive new wave” reshaping industries and said businesses must act quickly to stay competitive. The startup is already working with global enterprises such as Fresenius and Siemens Energy, signaling early traction in high-value industrial and healthcare sectors.
Hang Ten Systems is focused on helping companies move beyond traditional digital transformation by integrating AI into core business operations. Sikka said the goal is not just efficiency gains, but enabling enterprises to unlock capabilities that were previously impossible.
The startup has attracted backing from Mayfield, Aramco Ventures, and several Silicon Valley angel investors. Veteran tech investor Navin Chaddha is among its key supporters, while Jerry Yang will join the board.
Industry analysts estimate the global enterprise AI market could surpass $150 billion by 2030, driven by automation, generative AI, and decision intelligence. However, studies show nearly 70% of AI projects fail to scale effectively, highlighting the adoption gap Hang Ten Systems is aiming to address.
With hiring already underway, Sikka’s latest venture positions itself at the center of what could become the next major wave in enterprise AI transformation.
