AI Planet, a deeptech company specializing in enterprise Generative AI and Agentic AI solutions, has announced a strategic joint venture with InfoDrive Analytics – a Vardaan Global Company to establish a state-of-the-art AI and digital transformation hub in the United Arab Emirates.
The official agreement was signed at GITEX Global, in the presence of the Ambassador of Belgium and the Flanders Investment & Trade team, marking AI Planet’s first official entry into the UAE market beyond its existing operations in Belgium, Luxembourg, and India.
Backed by a $3 million investment from InfoDrive Analytics, the joint venture will be headquartered in Dubai and focus on supporting governments and large enterprises in accelerating their AI adoption and digital transformation initiatives.
The capital will be used to drive market development, enhance customer acquisition strategies, establish regional operations, and hire local talent. The partnership also aims to develop industry-specific Agentic AI solutions powered by AI Planet’s proprietary platform.
The collaboration combines AI Planet’s expertise in enterprise-grade AI orchestration with InfoDrive Analytics’ regional reach and business know-how. Together, they plan to deliver Generative AI and Agentic AI solutions across key sectors including finance, manufacturing, healthcare, telecom, and education.
Commenting on the partnership, Chanukya Patnaik, Founder & CEO of AI Planet, said, “The Middle East is at a defining moment in its digital and AI evolution. With bold investments and visionary leadership, the region is leapfrogging traditional transformation cycles. Through this joint venture, we aim to empower governments and enterprises to harness AI, driving measurable progress across sectors like healthcare, manufacturing, and financial services.”
