Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation launched Cognizant Activate, a new business unit aimed at supporting emerging enterprises with annual revenue between $1 billion and $5 billion as they build toward Global 2000 scale. The company said the unit was created to provide an operating model intended for speed and alignment with the way these organizations make decisions.

In the company’s description, emerging enterprises face pressures such as legacy technology and rising cybersecurity risk, alongside the need to adopt AI. Cognizant Activate was positioned as a way to deploy solutions faster and size engagements for an organization’s scale.

The unit is expected to deliver platform-aligned, pre-configured solution kits spanning data and AI, cybersecurity, enterprise applications, cloud modernization, and managed services. It will use vertically integrated teams and a single engagement lead accountable from the first conversation through delivery.

Cognizant Activate is scheduled to launch with an initial focus on financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, and retail/CPG, where Cognizant said it has domain expertise and an established presence serving emerging enterprises. Ravi Kumar S, Chief Executive Officer of Cognizant, said, “The companies shaping tomorrow's economy are moving fast and thinking boldly, and they need a partner who will treat their transformation as consequential, not incremental,” and added, “Cognizant Activate brings the same AI Builder capability that is helping to transform some of the world's largest enterprises to emerging enterprises, right-sized for their speed and scale. This is how our clients activate growth with AI.” Mohammad Haque, Global Head of Intelligent Enterprise Platforms and Large Deals of Cognizant, said, “Emerging enterprises with high growth want enterprise-grade capability without enterprise-level complexity and cost,” and added, “Cognizant Activate gives them access to our global delivery network, platform certifications and decades of industry expertise, delivered through a model built specifically for their speed and ambition.”
