Let us learn more about its journey:

A Vision Fuelled by Innovation and Collaboration

The journey began with two co-founders who brought complementary strengths to the organization.

Bhagawati Manukonda, CEO, is a seasoned leader with a track record of building global teams and driving sustainable growth. His focus on culture, capability, and continuity has shaped Innocito’s people-first ethos.

Rakesh Polisetty, Chief Delivery Officer (CDO), is a product visionary and delivery leader with deep expertise in startup execution, enterprise-scale delivery, and innovation. He has played a pivotal role in building Innocito’s reputation for execution excellence by architecting and delivering complex technology solutions across healthcare, finance, mobility, and ISV sectors. Under his leadership, Innocito has established strong governance frameworks, scalable delivery models, and Centers of Excellence that ensure consistency, agility, and quality across engagements.

Together, they established Innocito on the belief that technology should not just run businesses — it should transform them. Their motivation stemmed from a shared passion for harnessing innovation and digital transformation to reshape how organizations operate while enriching quality of life.

Their shared motivation to begin this journey stems from a passion to harness technology through innovation and digital transformation, reshaping the way business’s function while enriching the quality of life. This commitment drives their unified vision to create accessible solutions that empower both organizations and individuals to succeed in an ever-growing world.

Strategic Rise and Differentiators

Innocito’s rapid growth and recognition in 2025 as one of the fastest-growing companies to watch can be attributed to several strategic pillars:

• AI-First Positioning: Innocito embeds AI into every layer of its digital and quality engineering services, with platforms such as InnoTest.ai for quality engineering, AI-enhanced electronic medical records, and electric vehicle fleet management systems.
• Full-Lifecycle Partnership: Through an “Ideate → Incubate → Scale” model, Innocito supports startups, mid-stage firms, and large enterprises across the product lifecycle.
• Quality Engineering Differentiation: Innocito has redefined quality assurance as an AI-driven discipline, enhancing testing frameworks and automation.
• People and Culture Investment: The company’s workforce expanded from a few dozen to over 150 professionals in under three years, with attrition below 2%.

These choices have positioned Innocito as an innovation partner rather than simply a service provider.

Responsible AI That Moves Fast

Innocito believes speed has lasting value only when paired with responsibility. The industries it serves, healthcare, finance, ISVs, and mobility, require absolute trust. As the company explores the edges of AI innovation, it follows what is called ‘guardrails at speed.’ Ethics and transparency guide every step of the design process.

Security is woven into the culture through DevSecOps, making each release strong, reliable, and aligned with global standards. People remain central to the process, since AI is meant to enhance human judgment rather than replace it. This careful balance of fast innovation with ethical, secure, and responsible practices is why clients trust Innocito to deliver AI solutions that grow with confidence.

Bridging the Gaps in AI Innovation

Early on, Innocito identified four critical gaps in AI adoption: accuracy, scalability, adoption, and governance. The company addressed these by:

• Building model- and platform-agnostic solutions.
• Expanding AI data center capacity for scalability.
• Designing user-friendly onboarding for adoption.
• Embedding governance and compliance into industry-specific applications.

Oversight is provided by Innocito’s AI Centre of Excellence, which establishes governance, best practices, and accelerators for enterprise-ready solutions.

AI-First by Design: Building Intelligence at the Core

Many companies use the term AI-driven as a label, often adding AI features as an afterthought. At Innocito, the approach follows an AI-first philosophy. Intelligence is embedded at the core of every product and solution delivered. The focus lies in creating model- and platform-agnostic systems, allowing clients to remain flexible and adapt as the AI landscape evolves.

Human-in-the-loop oversight remains central, ensuring AI augments judgment, particularly in sensitive areas such as healthcare, finance, and mobility. What sets Innocito apart is the discipline of its AI Centre of Excellence, which ensures every solution is developed with governance, scalability, security, and explainability built in. For clients, this results in AI that is innovative, reliable, responsible, and ready for real-world scale, a standard that most providers find challenging to achieve.

Scaling with Purpose

The approach to scaling has always focused on impact and alignment. Two key questions guide every decision: where can expertise deliver the most transformation, and where can long-term partnerships flourish? This philosophy has led to engagement in sectors such as healthcare, finance, mobility, and ISVs, where technology adoption directly shapes lives and operations.

At the same time, experience demonstrates that opportunity does not rely on size. Collaborating with startups and SMBs provides agility and fresh perspectives, while partnerships with enterprises validate solutions at scale. This dual focus enables prioritization not only by industry but also by areas where co-creation produces the most meaningful outcomes for customers.

Balancing Global Scale with Local Agility

Innocito recognized early that the needs of a mature market differ greatly from those of an emerging one. Mature markets require scale, governance, and compliance, while emerging markets often emphasize speed, affordability, and adaptability. To succeed across both, the company developed flexible engagement models. These range from delivering end-to-end product engineering for enterprises in the United States to helping fast-growing startups in the Asia-Pacific region accelerate time-to-market.

Innocito’s global delivery centres in Dallas, Hyderabad, and Visakhapatnam provide a strategic balance of local presence and offshore scale. This ensures cost-effectiveness while maintaining high-quality standards. Such adaptability allows Innocito to remain prepared for future opportunities wherever they arise.

Building a Culture of Continuous Innovation

Innovation at Innocito thrives as a continuous rhythm rather than a singular event. The company invests deeply in its AI Centre of Excellence and internal research and development programs, providing teams with the freedom to experiment, prototype, and explore without waiting for client projects to set the pace. Regular AI Days, internal bootcamps, and hackathons cultivate an environment where engineers, designers, and quality experts collaborate to test new ideas, explore emerging technologies, and transform insights into practical accelerators.

Talent rotates across domains such as healthcare, finance, mobility, and ISVs, allowing employees to gain cross-industry perspectives and identify patterns before they emerge as trends. Curiosity and learning receive recognition alongside delivery, ensuring that the team anticipates future needs and shapes solutions that position clients ahead in their industries.

Collaboration and Co-Creation

Collaboration has remained central to Innocito’s journey since its inception. Engaging with startups and small and medium-sized businesses sharpens agility, enabling Innocito to co-create products from the ideation stage, experiment with bold ideas, and accelerate time-to-market.
Simultaneously, partnerships with large enterprises provide the scale and complexity needed to validate solutions against real-world, mission-critical challenges.

This balance continuously refines the company’s approach. Lessons learned in startup environments about speed and creativity inform enterprise solutions, while insights gained from enterprises regarding governance, compliance, and scale are applied to small and medium-sized businesses and independent software vendors. This two-way exchange strengthens Innocito’s positioning as a partner capable of ideating, incubating, and scaling alongside clients of any size.

For Innocito, collaboration functions as the engine that keeps the company prepared for the future, ensuring its solutions remain relevant, adaptable, and impactful across diverse business domains.

Turning Challenges into Opportunities

A pivotal moment in Innocito’s journey arrived at its inception. The company launched in the post-pandemic era, when the industry faced limited resources, skill gaps, and challenges in onboarding talent on time. While many viewed the timing as difficult, Innocito chose to see it as an opportunity. From the beginning, resilience formed the core of the company’s approach, through flexible engagement models, continuous learning programs to bridge skill gaps, and robust recruitment and onboarding processes designed to scale quickly despite market uncertainty.

Equally important was maintaining close connections with customers and technology leaders, listening carefully to their evolving challenges, and co-creating solutions that addressed their most pressing needs. Early decisions to embrace disruption, adopt an AI-first vision, and collaborate deeply with clients and industry experts shaped the company’s direction. These strategic choices did more than ensure survival; they defined Innocito’s trajectory and laid the foundation for the company it has become today.

Designing Technology That Feels Natural

The most powerful technology often remains invisible, operating so seamlessly that users can focus on their tasks without distraction. At the core of every creation lies a commitment to user experience. The design philosophy blends advanced technical engineering with empathy. Time is spent with end users to understand their real challenges, and workflows are crafted to feel natural and effortless.

Whether a healthcare professional manages patient data or a parent tracks a school bus, the focus remains on simplicity, accessibility, and trust. By prioritizing strong UI/UX capabilities, usability testing, and feedback-driven design, the solutions deliver sophistication that is both humane and intuitive.

Driving Innovation with Purpose

Innocito’s long-term vision follows the mantra of Ideate → Incubate → Scale. The company aims to do more than build technology; it seeks to help industries reinvent the way they deliver value. Innocito positions itself as a partner capable of anticipating change rather than merely a service provider.

Its Centres of Excellence in engineering, cloud, mobility, UI/UX, and quality create an environment where experimentation, upskilling, and delivery of forward-looking solutions are constant. The company emphasizes adaptability, ensuring solutions remain modular, extensible, and capable of evolving alongside market demands. By fostering a culture of continuous learning and innovation, Innocito maintains relevance long after today’s breakthroughs become tomorrow’s baseline.

Forming the Future of AI Innovation – In his words
