Coforge rolls out Data Cosmos to turbocharge AI-led data transformation
GREATER NOIDA: Coforge has launched Data Cosmos, an AI-enabled, cloud-native data and analytics platform aimed at helping enterprises overhaul fragmented data estates and accelerate digital transformation.
Unveiled on December 16, the platform is designed to modernise legacy systems, cut maintenance costs and simplify the adoption of advanced analytics and GenAI at scale. It combines Coforge’s proprietary IP, reusable accelerators and agentic components into a single foundation for building domain-specific, cloud-native data solutions.
At the heart of Data Cosmos are five technology portfolios: Supernova, Nebula, Hypernova, Pulsar and Quasar, covering the entire data lifecycle, from legacy-to-cloud migration and governance to autonomous DataOps, MLOps and large language model orchestration.
To speed execution, Coforge has bundled a Data Cosmos toolkit featuring more than 55 accelerators and 38 AI agents, enabling enterprises to move faster from strategy to impact. The platform also powers “Galaxy” solutions: pre-built, industry-specific offerings for sectors such as banking, insurance, travel, healthcare, public services and retail.
Coforge global head of data Deepak Manjarekar, said the platform aims to turn data complexity into competitive advantage by embedding intelligence across enterprise operations from day one.
Data Cosmos is already being deployed in large-scale transformation programmes for global clients, including unified data platforms and cloud-led modernisation initiatives, as companies race to make data estates AI-ready.

Piyush Thakur steps down as Inshorts’ chief revenue officer
Former vice president and cro says exit marks a new chapter after close to a decade of building revenue and partnerships at Inshorts Group.
NOIDA: Piyush Thakur has stepped away from Inshorts Group after nearly 10 years with the company, marking the end of a long tenure that culminated in his role as chief revenue officer.
In a farewell note, Thakur said he was “turning a new page” after almost a decade at Inshorts, calling it one of the hardest professional decisions he has made. He added that his exit was not driven by uncertainty about the future, but by reflection on a long association with the company.
Thakur joined Inshorts in October 2016 as vice president and spent around seven years in the role before being elevated to chief revenue officer in April 2024, a position he held until April 2026.
He said his tenure was defined by “thousands of mornings, late nights, product debates and breakthrough moments”, as the company evolved into a large-scale digital news platform used by millions.
In his note, Thakur emphasised that Inshorts’ growth was a collective effort across teams, adding that engineers, designers, sales teams and customer support staff all contributed to building the platform. He said the company’s success was not the result of individuals but of “everyone who stayed, passed through, and left their mark”.
Before Inshorts, Thakur worked across several digital media and business development roles. At ESPN, he served as senior regional manager from October 2015 to October 2016, focusing on growth initiatives, strategic opportunities and video distribution.
At Times Internet, he worked for nearly three years, including as head of business development from April 2015 to September 2015 and chief manager from January 2013 to March 2015. His responsibilities included monetisation of mobile platforms, managing media and developer partnerships, and driving revenue across digital properties such as The Times of India and The Economic Times.
Earlier, he worked at Brandmovers as head of business development from June 2012 to June 2013, handling digital, mobile and social media marketing solutions, client development and strategic consulting. During this period, he also worked on advertising revenue, brand strategy and CRM-based solutions.
At Inshorts, Thakur’s role focused on revenue strategy, mobile and media partnerships, and growth initiatives across platforms. His profile highlights experience in mobile product management, digital business models, partner ecosystems and revenue expansion in high-growth environments.
