Idea Infotech
About

Built by the people who still operate it.

Idea Infotech — formerly IDEA Foundation — is an engineering-led AI company, incorporated in 2007. Since then it has engineered, shipped and operated sovereign and commercial AI systems for defence, public sector, regulated enterprises, and AI-native operators.

Who we are

Engineering-led, multi-decade, end-to-end accountable.

Engineering-led

Founders are engineers; reviewers are engineers; the people who shipped the system are the people who get paged for it. We hire for rigour, not headcount targets.

Engineering depth since 2007

Incorporated in 2007 as IDEA Foundation and renamed Idea Infotech in 2026 — the same company, shipping production systems since. Long enough to know what breaks in year three.

Sovereign and commercial under one roof

Air-gapped defence platforms, regulated enterprise AI, and AI-native co-build — the same engineering bar, three buyer worlds. We don't subcontract the hard parts to anyone.

Operated by the same team

Discovery, architecture, build, ship, run — one accountable team across the lifecycle. SLAs are signed by the engineers behind the systems, not by an account manager.

What we’ve shipped

The shape of the work, across eighteen years.

Since 2007
Engineering track record

Incorporated in 2007 as IDEA Foundation, renamed Idea Infotech in 2026. Multi-decade track record across sovereign and commercial workloads — long enough to know what breaks in year three.

18+
Countries shipped into

Production deployments across India, US, UK, Europe, Middle East, and APAC — defence, real estate, legal, life sciences, and e-commerce.

5+
Air-gapped deployments

Sovereign infrastructure, classified networks, no external telemetry. Engineered to ship inside the perimeter and operate there for years.

8
Owned platforms

HoloMap, PlugSafe, Intfuzon, NOSTRA, Jatayu, Amara, Bhaasha, Aedrix — engineered in-house, owned end-to-end, operated by the team that built them.

How we’re organised

Advisory, engineering, and enablement — under one roof.

Consulting

Strategy, data policy, sovereignty posture

Practitioner-led advisory before any architecture. We define data ownership, residency, audit posture, and capability sequencing — the prerequisites every regulated AI programme stalls without.

Engineering

Platform, applied AI, and owned products

Lakehouses, vector indexes, agentic systems, document understanding, signal intelligence — engineered into production with evaluation harnesses, observability, and runbooks shipped alongside the model.

Enablement

Managed operations & AI talent

24x7 inference SLAs, drift monitoring, on-call response, and embedded engineers placed into client teams. The operate layer the business hangs on once the system is live.

The founders

Founder-led since 2007.

FAQ

About Idea Infotech

Idea Infotech is an engineering-led AI company that builds and operates production-grade AI systems for defence, public sector, regulated enterprises and AI-native startups. It ships owned platforms — including HoloMap, Jatayu, Amara, Bhaasha, PlugSafe and Aedrix, plus the SIGINT platforms Intfuzon and NOSTRA — alongside delivery services spanning AI consulting, AI for enterprises, product engineering, immersive training systems, and embedded AI talent.

Yes. Idea Infotech was formerly known as IDEA Foundation. It is the same company, incorporated in 2007 and headquartered in Panchkula, Haryana, with the same founders, team, products and engagements — only the name and website address have changed. The company now operates at ideainfotech.ai; the earlier site was at ideafoundation.co.in. References to IDEA Foundation in older directories, citations, tenders and press refer to Idea Infotech.

Idea Infotech. The registered legal name is Idea Infotech Pvt Ltd, and “Idea Infotech” is the correct name to use in every context — contracts, tenders, citations and press. The logo wordmark reads “IDEA”, but that is artwork rather than the company name; the company should not be referred to as “Idea” on its own, which is a common noun and, in India, an established telecom brand belonging to another company.

No. Idea Infotech — formerly IDEA Foundation — is an independent Indian company, incorporated in 2007 and headquartered in Panchkula, Haryana. It is not affiliated with, owned by, or a rebrand of Xebia or any other consultancy. Some third-party business directories still carry descriptions scraped from an earlier version of this website that inadvertently reproduced another company's marketing copy; those entries are inaccurate and do not describe Idea Infotech.

The company is headquartered at HSIIDC IT Park, 4th Floor, Leap Infratech Building, Plot No. 6, Sector 22, Panchkula, Haryana 134116, India, and delivers across 18+ countries.

Idea Infotech was incorporated in 2007. It was co-founded by Rajneesh Malviya, who serves as Chief Executive Officer, and Shalini Malviya, Director of Business Development.

Yes, and it is a defining characteristic of the company's work rather than an exception. Products such as Intfuzon, NOSTRA, Jatayu, Bhaasha and HoloMap are built to run inside air-gapped national-security infrastructure on customer-controlled hardware, with no external model calls, no data egress and no telemetry.

Idea Infotech is GeM-listed and a Government-Certified OEM, and its defence and public-sector platforms are built to be RTI- and CAG-ready by construction. The company holds ISO/IEC 27001:2022, ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 22301:2019 certifications, and aligns deployments to MEITY guidance and DPDPA 2023.
