Artificial Intelligence-led company Haptik announced that it has brought on board the founding team of Convrg. This announcement comes on the heels of a $100 million strategic investment from Reliance Jio in April this year. Convrg is a Los Angeles-based startup that recently built the chatbot powering the Reddit advertisement. Additionally, the company has hired Timothy Carey, a technology industry veteran with over 20 years of experience across AI and enterprise software, to serve as its General Manager for the region.

Said Aakrit Vaish, Haptik’s CEO and co-founder: “We’ve been doing business in North America for a few years now, but given the nature of the market, we knew we needed a dedicated full-time operation there. Given what they’ve accomplished in AI and in enterprise software leading up to this, the team we’ve put in place now gives us a solid foothold in the region.”
