Disseqt AI Partners with HCLTech and Microsoft to Accelerate Agentic AI Adoption in Financial Services

Lean agentic enterprise platform Disseqt AI announced a new collaboration with HCLTech and Microsoft aimed at helping banks and financial services institutions adopt Agentic AI securely and at scale.

The partnership combines HCLTech’s domain expertise with Disseqt’s lean agentic automation platform to guide organisations through responsible, production-ready AI transformation.

“Our partnership with HCLTech and Microsoft validates our mission of bringing intelligent, agent-based automation to the heart of enterprise IT. By embedding trustworthy AI into core ITOps and FinOps processes, we’re enabling organisations to break free from tedious cycles of testing and monitoring, and instead embrace secure, scalable AI transformation,” Apoorva Kumar, Founder, Disseqt, said.

At a roundtable in Ireland attended by leading financial institutions, the three companies showcased how Agentic AI can modernise critical financial workflows when paired with a strong governance framework.

The session highlighted perspectives from technology providers, financial institutions deploying AI, and regulators shaping responsible adoption.

“Collaboration is key to putting Responsible AI into practice. Working with Disseqt AI, we’re enabling an ecosystem that empowers enterprises to innovate with speed and operationalise AI ethics, governance, and compliance at scale,” said Heather Domin, Vice President and Head of Office of Responsible AI and Governance, HCLTech.

“Only 1% of organisations are using the right governance framework for Agentic AI and hence are struggling to move from POC to Production,” said Jenni Rantakari, AI Leader at Microsoft UK.

Disseqt delivers agentic services as software to automate and simplify complex IT and DevOps functions, enabling high-performance testing, monitoring, and governance of AI systems.

Using contextual simulations, red-teaming, and live observability, Disseqt helps organisations detect vulnerabilities early, prevent system drift, and maintain alignment with Responsible AI frameworks. The company claims its platform can deliver up to 80% cost reduction, 70% faster go-to-production cycles, and a 40% boost in testing productivity.

Disseqt AI, founded by industry veterans from Microsoft, Salesforce and Cradlepoint, is headquartered in San Francisco with operations in Ireland and India.
