KOGO AI teams up with Qualcomm to launch Private AI stack for enterprise

Bengaluru-based artificial intelligence (AI) startup firm, KOGO AI, on Wednesday, partnered with chipmaker Qualcomm to develop a full-stack private AI solution tailored for high-performance and compliant enterprise deployments. The collaboration combines KOGO AI’s modular Agentic Platform—designed for deploying intelligent agents and compliance-ready workflows—with Qualcomm’s Cloud AI 100 Ultra accelerators and AI Inference Suite.

“Private AI is more than a trend—it is a fundamental shift in how enterprises think about deploying and governing intelligence,” Raj K Gopalakrishnan, co-founder and CEO at KOGO AI, said. “Our platform running on Qualcomm AI inference accelerators gives organisations complete control over how AI agents and models are created, deployed, and monitored, without sacrificing innovation or speed.”

The Qualcomm Cloud AI 100 Ultra, featuring 128 GB of memory and a power-efficient design, supports large-scale models with up to 70 billion parameters, making it ideal for generative AI and LLM deployments.

“This collaboration addresses the growing demand for AI solutions that combine intelligence with autonomy,” said Savi Soin, senior vice president and president of Qualcomm India. “Together, we are empowering enterprises to create robust AI systems that respect data privacy while delivering exceptional performance at scale—whether on the cloud or device.”

The newly announced stack includes AI Agents as a Service (AaaS) with over 60 no-code agents for tasks such as customer service, research, and claims processing. It also includes Models as a Service (MaaS) for fine-tuning and deploying models like Llama, Claude, and Gemini with built-in observability. These models are powered by Qualcomm’s AI 100 Ultra accelerators and support advanced LLMS efficiently.

Aimed at industries where data privacy and latency are critical, such as banking, insurance, healthcare, and government, the solution supports on-premises, hybrid, and edge deployments, enabling secure AI use in private data centres, embedded systems, and field units.
Early use cases include real-time fraud detection in banking, claims automation in insurance, clinical decision support in healthcare, and policy analytics in government services. The private AI platform is available immediately to selected enterprise and public sector partners as part of an early access program. General availability is planned for Q3 2025, with phased rollouts and quarterly feature enhancements.

In November, KOGO launched its AI Agent Store, offering businesses seamless access to hundreds of AI tools, agents and plugins. It is designed as a comprehensive platform for developers, small and midsize enterprises, and enterprises to adopt, deploy, and manage AI solutions with ease. Catering to diverse industries, such as travel, healthcare, finance, retail, and law, the store provides a wide array of specialised AI agents tailored to specific business needs.

Founded in 2018 by Raj K Gopalakrishnan and Praveer Kochhar, KOGO AI started as an AI-based travel expert platform, and KOGO OS is an extension of the startup’s AI offering. The Bengaluru-based firm raised a total funding of $2.83 million over five rounds. Its first funding round was on Apr 19, 2019. Its latest funding round was a Series A round on Sep 06, 2023, for $ 1.08 million, with investors participating in its latest round, which includes MapmyIndia and United Consultancy.
