AI and analytics company C5i, headquartered in Edison, announced that it is acquiring Datavid, a data and AI company that helps organizations transform fragmented, unstructured and siloed data into trusted, AI-ready data architectures.
The transaction is expected to be completed by the end of March 26. It will further expand C5i’s geographic footprint in Europe and strengthen nearshore delivery capabilities in the U.K. and Romania.
Headquartered in London, Datavid has delivery teams across the United States, Romania and India.
Its team of AI engineers, knowledge graph architects, semantic technologists, and data scientists has built strong data and AI foundations for leading global life sciences companies, scientific publishers, standards organizations and financial institutions.
The company’s clinical and R&D capabilities for pharma companies will complement C5i’s current focus and strength in the commercial side of its life sciences sector.
“The future of enterprise AI will be driven by large language models and agentic systems that can understand and act on enterprise knowledge,” said Ashwin Mittal, Executive chairman of C5i.
“This acquisition will strengthen C5i’s proposition to clients to build intelligent systems that move from insight to autonomous action in several domains, including supply chain optimization, Customer 360, risk, product engineering and others.
“We will also be able to provide a holistic value proposition for the life sciences industry by combining our strength in commercial analytics with Datavid’s expertise in R&D and scientific applications.”
Datavid will gain the opportunity to scale its technology across C5i’s global client base while complementing its graph data engineering capabilities with C5i’s AI expertise and agentic AI platform, Agent5i.
Its clients will benefit from access to C5i’s broader portfolio of AI and analytics capabilities to drive more actionable decision intelligence.
Equirus Capital acted as the exclusive financial advisor to Datavid and its shareholders.
