Bloomberg’s The Pulse with Francine Lacqua with Umesh Sachdev

Uniphore CEO Umesh Sachdev discusses the company’s recent $260 million funding round backed by major AI and data companies including NVIDIA, AMD, Snowflake, and Databricks. Speaking after meetings with 50 CEOs and CIOs across Europe and the US, Sachdev highlights the growing demand for sovereign AI solutions, particularly in Europe where companies want their own AI systems independent of foreign providers. He notes that while US customers prefer models like OpenAI and Anthropic, European clients are gravitating toward Mistral and other alternatives. The conversation covers Uniphore’s strategic partnership with KPMG to deliver outcome-as-a-service models, addresses concerns about AI bubble valuations, and discusses the company’s potential IPO plans dependent on market conditions improving for tech companies.
