Founded in 2015 by Goel, Avinash Tiwari and Lalit Jain, Opkey provides AI-enabled, no-code test automation solutions for enterprise ERP systems. It helps reduce the time and effort needed for testing for organisations using multiple software-as-a-service products.

"As thematic business-to-business software investors, we understand the criticality of ERP and other enterprise applications, which represent significant investments and operate as the central nervous system powering global business operations,” said Sanket Merchant, partner, PeakSpan Capital.

“We believe that, given the inefficiencies that exist today in all phases of the ERP life cycle, a new category of solutions will emerge, utilizing AI to address the high failure rate of cloud transformation and automate critical areas of implementation, testing, and support,” he added.
