Inside SDLC Corp’s Mission to Make AI Practical, Scalable, and Human for Enterprises Worldwide

SDLC Corp, a leading provider of digital products and B2B services, specialises in building practical AI products and B2B services for enterprise clients worldwide and transforming strategy into secure, scalable software that drives business performance.

As the founder and CEO of SDLC Corp, Kishan Srivastava started the company in 2016 and built it into a multinational AI and IT firm with over 240 people across India, the UK, the UAE, the US, and Ireland. 

Today, SDLC is known for combining product thinking with delivery discipline, offering proprietary platforms such as Data Geometry AI, Pulastya AI, and Praxis AI alongside end-to-end digital transformation services that improve the software development life cycle.

Trusted by more than a thousand SMEs across the US, Europe, the GCC, Africa, and Australia, SDLC is now preparing a focused expansion into the UK and wider Europe to deepen the UK-India digital corridor and create high-quality product and delivery jobs.

A Simple Belief

SDLC began with Kishan’s vision that the next decade would belong to companies that do not just use technology but integrate intelligence into everything they do. That conviction became the company’s foundation. 

Kishan and his team also saw enterprises drowning in data, manual workflows, and disconnected systems. They did not want to add another tool to the pile. They wanted to bring structure, speed, and intelligence to problems that really matter.

Their first break came with Data Geometry, known also as DAN (DAN – Data AI Ninja), an AI platform that processes, secures, and understands complex documents in real time. DAN proved the idea that intelligence could make routine work invisible and dependable.

From there, the product roadmap grew naturally. SDLC expanded into AI analytics, blockchain automation, 5G-enabled experiences, and immersive gaming technologies. Each product was designed to solve a specific pain point, not to chase novelty. Kishan adds,

“Of course, products alone do not create transformation. That is why we built a strong foundation of cloud, AI integration, and digital consulting services to ensure our innovations deliver real outcomes in the enterprise ecosystem.”

At its core, SDLC’s inspiration is simple and human. They are on a mission to build tools that amplify what people can do, free them from busywork, and let them focus on higher value. 

Building with a Dream Team

Over the years, SDLC moved from services to products, launching DAN, Pulastya, and Praxis after winning trust from clients such as PayPal, Domino’s, and Fujitsu. His teams keep clients for the long term, reflected in an industry-leading retention rate of 98%.

Kishan’s focus is on driving SDLC’s UK expansion with a planned investment that will create hundreds of jobs and strengthen the UK-India digital corridor. For him, scaling is not an end in itself but a way to turn product IP into stable careers and measurable impact. To achieve this, with him is his dream team. 

The CBO, Anuj Yadav, leads business growth and enterprise partnerships as SDLC’s Chief Business Officer. He has scaled the company’s client footprint across fintech, healthcare, and government and led more than 500 successful global projects. Anuj is known for practical go-to-market playbooks that turn technical capability into predictable revenue and repeatable outcomes. 

By building partnerships and delivery frameworks, Anuj helps large organisations adopt AI, cloud, and automation while creating demand for local talent in sales, delivery, and consulting. His playbook is simple: make transformation usable, measurable, and fair for the teams who will run it.

Sujeet Kumar Singh is SDLC’s chief product architect. He designs the platforms that turn customer problems into repeatable products. He led the creation of DAN for AI-driven document processing, Pulastya for voice automation, and Praxis for edtech digitisation.

His efforts speak for themselves. DAN delivers above 99 percent accuracy and has driven roughly 80 percent cost savings for large clients. Pulastya now supports more than 25 languages and integrates with over 2,000 apps, making voice automation practical at scale. Kishan says,

“His product leadership ensures SDLC contributes to IP-driven innovation, not just tech services. These products serve finance, healthcare, government, and education sectors—aligning with the UK-India bilateral treaty priorities—while creating high-value product development and support jobs.”

Shashank Jaiswal leads technology and R&D at SDLC. He builds the technical frameworks that make the products reliable in production. His team engineered the systems behind DAN’s near-touchless automation and Praxis’s full lifecycle digitisation, and they designed infrastructure that processes data orders of magnitude faster.

Shashank also pushed conversational AI into long-form use cases, supporting sustained 10 to 30-minute interactions while keeping performance predictable. That engineering work is what lets SDLC move from clever prototypes to mission-critical deployments.

Kishan believes that Shashank’s role will anchor SDLC’s R&D ambitions as the company expands into the UK and Europe. By partnering with universities and industry labs, he aims to turn product breakthroughs into research jobs, local innovation capacity, and commercial projects that scale responsibly.

Kishan is also appreciative of Ankit Yadav, who runs SDLC’s engine room. He scaled the delivery operation to support 240 plus people and projects across five continents, building the processes that make cross-border work predictable and cost-efficient. His focus on workforce allocation, client success, and repeatable delivery will be critical as SDLC opens teams in the UK, ensuring knowledge transfer, local jobs, and measurable value for enterprise clients.

Kishan also speaks of Akshay Jadhav leading brand and market strategy with the same rigour. He shaped SDLC’s global positioning, ran PR and content programs that put products like DAN, Pulastya, and Praxis on the map, and created the CXO-focused Decoding series to translate technical wins into boardroom language. His work includes helping SDLC earn trust in the UK-India corridor, attract partners and investment, and turn product impact into a recognisable brand story.

With their combined strengths, SDLC’s dream team is redefining what’s possible by building practical, scalable AI products that create global impact.

Dual Value Proposition

What makes SDLC different is that the company offers two things at once that most firms only promise separately. They build product-grade AI platforms, and they deliver enterprise-grade services that make those products work in the real world. Kishan highlights,

We provide three flagship products to enterprise clients—DAN, our AI-based document processing platform that achieves 99% accuracy and significant cost savings; Pulastya, our multilingual AI voice platform that redefines customer support and helpline operations; and Praxis, our edtech solution that digitises the complete lifecycle of school and university management.

What follows is a predictable commercial path. Enterprise customers get a product that proves value, then SDLC upsells services to integrate, customise, and scale that value across the organisation. That combination of IP plus delivery removes the usual handoff friction between vendors and clients and keeps outcomes measurable.

They also serve the full spectrum. Finance, healthcare, government, and education all benefit from the same core promise, which is better accuracy, lower cost, and stronger compliance. For buyers, that matters more than features. For teams, that matters more than buzzwords.

The real advantage is not a single platform or service; it is the way both are woven together so enterprises actually get faster, safer, and more intelligent operations.

The Industry Challenges

The hardest part of building SDLC was never the code. It was learning to solve real user problems, not just deliver technology. Early clients came with fragmented needs and unclear goals, and the team had to learn how to listen properly before they could build anything useful.

That forced a change in how they work. Kishan and his team spent time with users, mapped their day-to-day pain points, and turned messy workflows into clear product strategies. That user-first approach is what moved the company from being a service provider to an AI product company.

Scaling globally brought a new set of challenges. Delivering a consistent user experience across the UAE, UK, US, and India required them to invest in delivery frameworks and repeatable playbooks. Kishan shares,

“Each project taught us that technology alone isn’t enough — success comes from solving real human problems with empathy, innovation, and precision.”

Creating Impact

“We measure the success of SDLC Corp not just by revenue or growth numbers, but by the real-world impact our solutions create for users and clients. Success, for us, means helping businesses become more efficient, intelligent, and future-ready through technology.”

SDLC now serves over a thousand SME clients across the US, Europe, GCC, Africa, and Australia. The company has built a product-first engine with DAN, Pulastya, and Praxis, and delivered more than 300 digital transformation projects across fintech, healthcare, education, and enterprise automation. DAN alone has driven near 99 percent accuracy in document processing and delivered large cost reductions for clients. Pulastya supports 25-plus languages and integrates with thousands of apps, making voice automation usable at scale.

They have also scaled delivery. The team now runs 240 plus people across India, the UK, UAE, the US, and Ireland, and keeps client retention at industry-leading levels. That trust and repeat business is, for SDLC, their biggest achievement.

SDLC’s short-term plans are concrete, as they plan to invest between £10 and £15 million over the next five years to establish UK operations and spend on AI development and product R&D. That investment is expected to create 700 to 1,000 high-value jobs across the UK and India in product engineering, data science, voice AI, edtech implementation, and customer success.

Their outcome-oriented KPIs include number of clients served, deal value size, timely delivery with SLA adherence, module adoption, repeat project wins, employment generation, skills transfer, and measurable innovation impact on cost and efficiency.

Next in Line

SDLC Corp’s next phase of growth is centered on expanding its product and service footprint in the UK, positioning the region as a key hub for product innovation, delivery, and global collaboration. The company aims to make the UK its strategic base for scaling AI-led digital transformation and product engineering solutions across Europe and beyond.

In the immediate future, SDLC will establish its UK headquarters and an AI & product R&D hub, supported by strong local hiring and partnerships with universities, research bodies, and industry leaders. The goal is to build cross-functional teams in engineering, customer success, and strategy that drive both product innovation and client delivery.

The company will introduce its three flagship products to UK and European clients, DAN, an AI-powered document processing platform that enhances compliance and back-office efficiency. Pulastya, a multilingual voice AI platform that redefines customer experience and helpline operations, and Praxis, an edtech solution that digitises the end-to-end management of schools and universities. As Kishan explains,

Together, these solutions will create high-value employment in AI engineering, education technology, and enterprise integration, while also enabling UK businesses, public sector bodies, and universities to operate with greater efficiency and innovation. Our vision is to generate jobs, foster knowledge transfer, attract global investment, and help position us as a pioneer in the applied AI and digital transformation space in the UK-India corridor.”

The Takeaways

One of the clearest lessons Kishan and his team have learned is that clarity and consistency matter more than speed. Rapid growth is tempting, but without a stable foundation, you create systems that break under pressure. Kishan also encourages listening to users and your team before you build, and learning about adaptability, patience, and data-driven decision-making from each setback.

A piece of advice from Kishan:

“For budding entrepreneurs, my message is simple: focus on solving real problems, not just creating products. Build something that genuinely adds value to people’s lives. Stay curious, keep learning, and don’t be afraid to fail—every mistake brings you closer to clarity. Surround yourself with a team that believes in your vision, and remember that success is a journey of persistence, purpose, and continuous improvement.”
