Quick Answer

UnifyApps has been named one of the Top 10 winners of the HDFC Group Tech Innovators Award 2025, selected from more than 1,650 technology startups across India through a multi-stage evaluation by industry leaders, investors, and domain experts. The award recognizes UnifyApps' Enterprise Operating System for AI: an AI-native architecture built to operationalize AI across large organizations, not experiment with it. Three themes underpin the recognition: enterprise AI is entering its execution era, AI infrastructure is becoming a strategic priority, and AI-native architecture (not retrofitted RPA or automation tools) is the differentiator.

key Takeaways

  • The selection field and process signal market validation. More than 1,650 startups applied across AI, FinTech, Sustainability, and emerging platform technologies; only ten were selected through a multi-stage evaluation by industry leaders, investors, and domain experts.

  • The three reasons this recognition matters reflect the state of the market. Enterprise AI is moving from pilots to operational deployments; AI infrastructure is becoming strategic rather than experimental; and AI-native architecture, built for it from day one, not retrofitted, is the differentiator.

  • The Find/Think/Act framework describes how enterprises deploy. Find connects 1,000+ systems to unify data and signals; Think applies LLM-agnostic AI consistently to enrich context; Act orchestrates multi-agent workflows across functions, systems, and human steps with governance and compliance built in at every layer.

A Meaningful Milestone for Enterprise Operating System for AI

Presented at the Grand Finale in Mumbai, this award reflects the strength of our vision for the Enterprise Operating System for AI—a modern, AI-native architecture built to operationalize AI across large organizations, not simply experiment with it. Being selected from such a competitive field validates that enterprises are prioritizing scaling GenAI—and that UnifyApps is solving problems that are now board-level priorities for global organizations.

About the HDFC Group Tech Innovators Program

The HDFC Group Tech Innovators initiative is one of India’s most respected technology programs, led by HDFC Bank and its group companies. Now in its fourth year, it identifies companies solving high-impact, enterprise-scale challenges across AI, FinTech, Sustainability, and emerging platform technologies.

Winners are selected through a multi-stage evaluation process led by industry leaders, investors, and domain experts. In 2025, more than a thousand companies applied, with only ten ultimately selected.

Why This Matters

This recognition reflects three things:

1. Enterprise AI Is Entering Its Execution Era Organizations are moving beyond AI pilots toward real operational deployments. This award reinforces the shift from experimentation to enterprise-scale execution.

2. AI Infrastructure Is Becoming Strategic Enterprises recognize that intelligence cannot be layered onto brittle systems. It must be embedded into the operating fabric of the business—connecting systems, knowledge, and actions. This is exactly where UnifyApps is focused.

3. AI-Native Architecture Is a Differentiator UnifyApps was designed from day one as an AI-native architecture—not retrofitted from automation or RPA tools. Our horizontal platform unifies systems, AI agents, and LLM-agnostic intelligence, making it fast and simple to deliver enterprise-grade GenAI and agentic workflows.

How Organizations Use UnifyApps

UnifyApps enables enterprises to deploy intelligent agents that integrate with existing systems and operate inside real workflows—from onboarding and operations across 15+ industries and all departments.

Rather than building dozens of custom AI integrations, enterprises use UnifyApps as a foundation to:

  • Find — Connect 1,000+ systems out of the box to unify data, signals, and activity across the enterprise.

  • Think — Apply AI and decision models consistently with an LLM-agnostic intelligence layer that enriches context and ensures accuracy.

  • Act — Orchestrate multi-agent workflows that automate work across functions, systems, and human steps.

  • Reduce engineering load by giving teams configurable patterns instead of bespoke integrations.

  • Scale safely with governance, security, and compliance built into every workflow and agent.

Across industries, these capabilities deliver measurable results:

The result across all these use cases is faster execution, lower operational friction, and tangible business impact—turning GenAI from experimentation into scalable, production-grade transformation.

Looking Ahead

Recognition from the HDFC Group is a meaningful milestone, but it’s not the destination.

It reinforces our direction: building the AI-native architecture enterprises need to operate in a world where AI is not optional but operational. We’re grateful for the trust placed in us by the HDFC Group and proud of the UnifyApps team for building something that stands out not just for ambition, but for architectural clarity and enterprise readiness.

AI‑Native Leader: Spotlight on Pankaj Mishra, Executive Vice President & Head of Enterprise Technology Group at Sony Pictures Networks India

AI-Native Leader: Spotlight on Pankaj Mishra, Sony Pictures Networks India Sony Pictures Networks India is moving beyond isolated AI pilots by building the foundation for AI to operate across the enterprise. Its approach connects knowledge, data, applications, and workflows so AI can support employee productivity, automate operational processes such as sales deal creation and executive reporting, and improve content decisions using signals from ratings, streaming performance, social listening, and research. For Pankaj Mishra, becoming AI-Native requires more than adding assistants or deploying individual agents. It takes a horizontal enterprise foundation that provides shared context, integration, security, governance, observability, and controlled action from the start. SPNI is working toward a federated model where specialist agents can operate across that common foundation, collaborate across business domains, and take governed action while employees interact through a unified AI experience rather than navigating the systems and agents behind it.
