ServiceNow bets on AI banking in India

Friends, here’s a key development from tech and industry: ServiceNow has invested $40 million in India’s BusinessNext, valuing it at $700 million.

Key signals:
— the deal gives ServiceNow roughly a 5% stake and strengthens its position in financial services;
— BusinessNext will gain access to ServiceNow’s global sales infrastructure;
— the company already works with 70+ banks in India and beyond;
— the partnership is focused on AI and banking automation.

BusinessNext is building a platform for “autonomous banking” and is betting on an AI-native approach rather than classic SaaS.

Why this matters: enterprise software is moving toward AI, and partnerships are becoming a faster way to scale.
