Loka, a Silicon Valley software consultancy delivering solutions for 20 years, has signed a strategic collaboration agreement (SCA) with Amazon Web Services (AWS). This deepened collaboration with AWS will help Loka hire and train additional staff, enhance marketing outreach and upgrade technological resources, all for the benefit of customers.
This SCA will propel innovation and the advancement of next-gen cloud services across data modernization, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) and cloud-native application development, spanning key industries and enterprise markets. Loka and AWS will collaborate to support customer initiatives around generative AI, with a focus on assessing data landscapes and readiness through Loka’s strategic programs and innovative solutions.
As businesses embrace new tech advancements, Loka’s extensive experience across sectors, from healthcare and life sciences to climate tech and finance, uniquely positions the company to maximize customer potential by leveraging their industry and AI/ML expertise.
“Loka is already an AWS Premier Tier Services Partner with six AWS competencies, including the AWS Generative AI Competency,” said Loka founder and CEO Bobby Mukherjee. “With this SCA we step into a new, exciting chapter of our collaboration with AWS. It unlocks more options and greater advancements for customers seeking robust solutions powered by AWS.”
In mid-2024 Loka worked with Cameo, the celebrity messaging platform, to streamline their search functionality with GenAI. Cameo CTO Dom Scandinaro later appeared alongside Loka CIO Emily Kruger and AWS Partner Sales Senior Leader Chris Sullivan at an AWS fireside chat to share the results.
“Loka has been a catalyst for innovative solutions that deliver new value to our customers. At Cameo, we strive to create seamless, personalized experiences for our customers, and Loka’s GenAI, ML, data, and AWS expertise have been instrumental in helping us achieve that,” Scandinaro said. “Their support is enabling us to build more effective search and browse functionality, making it easier for our users to connect with the perfect talent and enhance their overall Cameo experience.”
Loka brings 20 years of experience in AI, ML, Big Data and DevOps, with specialized expertise in Healthcare and Life Sciences (HCLS) supported by a dedicated bioengineering team. This experience provides substantial advantages for companies across HCLS, Climate Tech, ISV/SaaS and other industries seeking migration and modernization.
"The collaboration with Loka underscores their commitment to unlocking business value for their customers,” said Rima Olinger, Managing Director, North America Partners at AWS. “We are pleased to enhance Loka's specialized capabilities in AI, ML and data to help them offer innovative solutions that address the unique challenges faced by today's founders and leaders."
