About

Founded in 2015 by Bhavin Turakhia and Ramki Gaddipati, and with offices in San Francisco and Bengaluru, India, the company has raised over $250 million in funding at a unicorn valuation. Zeta's platform powers credit card programs and banking products for major financial institutions including partnerships with Visa and Mastercard for next-generation card infrastructure.\n\nZeta's core banking platform is built on a modern microservices architecture that provides real-time processing, API-first integration, and continuous deployment capabilities — capabilities that legacy COBOL-based core banking systems cannot provide. Its Tachyon credit card processing platform enables banks to launch innovative credit card programs with features like real-time rewards, instant virtual cards, and granular spend analytics. Zeta's approach to credit card issuer processing addresses a market where the underlying systems at many banks are decades old.\n\nZeta targets the core banking modernization opportunity — helping banks replace or augment legacy infrastructure with cloud-native systems that can support modern digital financial products. The company's global reach spans the US, India, Middle East, and Latin America, with India representing a significant growth market where banks are actively modernizing their core systems. Zeta's backing and partnerships with Visa and Mastercard provide it with network-level distribution and credibility in the financial infrastructure market.

About

International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) is an Armonk, New York-based global technology and consulting company — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: IBM) as an S&P 500 component — providing hybrid cloud infrastructure, artificial intelligence software, and enterprise IT consulting through approximately 270,300 employees in 170 countries with $62.8 billion in annual revenue. Founded on June 16, 1911, as Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company through a merger orchestrated by financier Charles Ranlett Flint, renamed IBM in 1924 under Thomas Watson Sr., IBM has undergone multiple strategic transformations over its 110+ year history: building the System/360 mainframe platform (1964), launching the IBM PC (1981), selling the PC division to Lenovo (2005, $1.75B), and completing the $34 billion Red Hat acquisition (2019) that repositioned IBM as a hybrid cloud platform company. CEO Arvind Krishna (appointed April 2020) has focused IBM's strategy on three areas: hybrid cloud (powered by Red Hat OpenShift, the enterprise Kubernetes platform), AI (the watsonx platform for enterprise AI model development and deployment), and enterprise consulting. Under Krishna, IBM recorded $12.7 billion in free cash flow in 2024 (a company record), surpassed $6 billion in generative AI bookings since June 2023, and saw the stock price double — trading at all-time highs through 2024-2025. IBM announced the DataStax acquisition in 2025 to deepen watsonx's data layer with AstraDB (vector database for AI applications), DataStax Enterprise (Apache Cassandra), and Langflow (low-code AI agent development).
