PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ValidMind, a leading enterprise platform provider of Model Risk Management and AI governance, today announced a strategic partnership with Genpact, a global advanced technology services and solutions company, to enhance model risk management (MRM) and AI governance for financial institutions and enterprises.

ValidMind’s cutting-edge AI-driven validation platform and Genpact’s deep industry expertise across risk, compliance, analytics, and AI governance come together to help organizations navigate increasing regulatory requirements and operational challenges in AI adoption. By jointly offering Model Risk Management as a Service (MRMaaS), ValidMind and Genpact will provide financial institutions with an on-demand, scalable, and cost-effective solution for managing model risks and driving business value.

“The partnership between Genpact and ValidMind combines the best of two worlds: Genpact's expertise in enterprise-scale process transformation with ValidMind's cutting-edge AI Model Risk Management platform,” said Jonas Jacobi, co-founder and CEO of ValidMind. “Together, we will empower organizations to scale AI responsibly, aid compliance, and drive meaningful business outcomes. This collaboration addresses today's challenges in AI governance and sets the stage for future innovations in AI-powered business transformation.”

Genpact’s AI, risk and regulatory, and analytics advisory services complement the MRM platform by providing tailored strategies for mitigating and managing AI and other model risks – while embedding and elevating MRM frameworks to maximize business value.
