Vishal Marria, founder and CEO of Quantexa, has discussed the company's growth and its focus on using AI and data analytics to help organizations make decisions. In 2025, Quantexa closed a Series F funding round, which Marria said brought in OTP as an investor and positioned the company for expansion. He stated the company surpassed $125 million in annual recurring revenue and reported a net retention rate above 120 percent. Marria has also described Quantexa's work with clients such as HSBC and government agencies, and said the platform monitors over 60 percent of world trade daily. In interviews and podcast appearances, Marria has traced the company's origins to his time at EY, where he observed clients struggling with siloed data. He has said he resigned from the firm to start Quantexa in 2016, initially funding the company himself. Marria has also discussed the importance of data quality for AI adoption, noting that many early AI projects failed due to poor or fragmented data. He has described the company's growth as ongoing, stating that the business is growing at over 40 percent year on year and that he does not view reaching unicorn status as a final destination.

    May 14, 2023 · 📺 The London Standard

    Listen here: https://pod.fo/e/17c1f7 Every start-up has an origin story. Vishal Marria’s is pretty dramatic. It began when he was just nine years old, and was attacked by four men who held a knife to his neck in a raid on his father’s cash and carry store. That traumatic moment sparked an interest in crime that took him into data analytics, and eventually the founding of Quantexa – a tech firm that’s been used by major banks and international police to “find the bad guys”, rooting out fraud, money laundering and more. He’s built a company recently valued at 1 point 8 billion dollars, in just s…
