Delivering Solutions to Anchor Industry Demand

The Founders of GAVS, who were involved in Forex Trade, created a foreign exchange management software that worked on real-time data. The company later licensed this product to Reuters. With this experience, GAVS started working in various areas of application development, customer support, and other focus areas. The company then ventured into providing managed services in the IT infrastructure space. In 2007, Basil Partners, a Private Equity firm, came aboard as a key investor, offering GAVS a platform to take advantage of their client and portfolio companies' ecosystem. Currently, GAVS is an AI company focusing on innovation and disruptive technologies to help customers in their digital transformation journey.
