Cognizant's former CEO's investment firm Recognize raises $1.7 billion in second fund
Recognize Partners, a technology services-focused private equity firm co-founded by seasoned industry leaders including Francisco D'Souza former chief of IT firm Cognizant, has raised over $1.7 billion (around 14,580 crore) in its second fund to invest in next-generation digital services. With Recognize II, the firm will continue to look at investing and picking up majority stake in companies with enterprise values between approximately $50 million and $500 million, when companies start needing growth capital. The cheque sizes of each investment would be similar to the previous fund with average ticket size of around $100 million or a little bigger, D'Souza told ET in an interaction. The capital was raised from existing and new investors or the limited partners (LPs) which include endowments, foundations, pension funds, insurers, family offices, outsourced chief investment officers (CIOs) and fund-of-funds. In this fund, investors were beyond the US, across Europe, Asia, and Latin America, D'Souza added. In 2022, Recognize had raised $1.3 billion for its inaugural fund and has made 13 investments so far with one more likely going forward to fully deploy the fund. The New York-based investment firm was co-founded by managing partners D'Souza, Charles Phillips – former president of Oracle, and David Wasserman – former partner at investment firm Clayton, Dubilier & Rice and banker with Goldman Sachs. According to D'Souza, 'The core thesis remains intact which is we want to build the next generation of digital services…AI is disrupting the IT services or the digital services landscape quite significantly. We think that the future of IT services is companies that embed proprietary IP (intellectual property), artificial intelligence, automation, platforms, and we think that those companies will lead this change in IT services.'He believes there is a shift happening in the technology services space. 'But I think it is accelerating from let's call it labor-intensive models to IP and intelligence-enabled models and we think that's a fairly fundamental reset in the industry. And we're investing in companies that are not just adapting to that trend but are really leading that trend and architecting the future.'D'Souza estimates the total IT and digital services market opportunity continuing to be about a $1 trillion market. 'If you include the tech-enabled business processes, historically what you would have called the BPO (business process outsourcing), that's probably another trillion dollars give or take. So, $2 trillion market. My estimate would be that one third of these are publicly traded and the rest are private.'Over the last six months, Recognize made four new platform investments - SDG Corporation in cybersecurity services, Sprout in digital infrastructure services, TRANZACT in the insurance services space – all from the first fund while HealthEdge – a software-as-a-service (SaaS) player in healthcare – from the newly launched fund the first fund, Recognize has completed two full exits with AI-based talent platform Torc being sold to Randstad while AST being sold to IBM earlier this year. It also made a partial exit of 2X through a strategic investment by another investment firm Insight Partners.
