The Ahmedabad-founded technology company has been recognised in the Agents category for its work on enterprise artificial intelligence, with 252 AI agents developed during FY26.

An Ahmedabad-based technology company has earned a place among the finalists for one of Microsoft’s major annual partner awards, bringing international attention to Gujarat’s growing enterprise technology sector.

atQor has been named a finalist in the Business Transformation – Agents category of the 2026 Microsoft Partner of the Year Awards. The recognition follows the company’s work on artificial intelligence (AI) agents designed to handle business tasks across different industries.

Microsoft selected its winners and finalists from more than 4,500 nominations submitted worldwide. The awards recognise companies that develop and deliver solutions using Microsoft technologies. AtQor’s selection places it among the finalists competing in the enterprise AI category.

The company’s work is based on developing AI agents that can process information, carry out specific tasks and support business operations. These systems can be used in areas such as financial records, purchasing, legal work and the handling of large volumes of documents.

Pushkaraj Kale, CEO of atQor India, said the recognition reflected the company’s engineering work in agentic AI.

“This recognition reflects the depth of engineering and innovation our teams have built around agentic AI. What makes this achievement meaningful is not simply the number of agents developed, but the ability to create reusable solutions that address real business challenges across industries. We have invested in the architecture, engineering practices, and governance needed to help customers move from AI experimentation to enterprise adoption,” said Kale.

Microsoft’s award category focuses on AI agents that can work within business processes and deliver measurable results. It also considers how companies manage security, governance and human supervision when introducing such systems into everyday operations.

The distinction matters because businesses are moving beyond using AI tools to answer questions or prepare content. They are increasingly examining systems that can perform tasks across their internal software and business departments.

However, giving AI systems greater freedom to act brings risks. An agent may access private information, use connected software or carry out an action that affects business operations. Microsoft’s own technical guidance stresses the need for restricted access, activity records and human approval for sensitive decisions.

This is why security and human supervision form an important part of atQor’s award submission.

The company presented its work under the title From Documents to Decisions: A Repeatable Agentic Framework for Enterprise Business Processes. The system combines information extraction, AI reasoning, business-rule checks and human review. It also keeps records that allow organisations to examine how the system has handled tasks.

Figures released by atQor show that the company developed 252 AI agents during FY26. Of these, 52 were deployed in customer production and proof-of-concept environments, while another 200 were created through an internal innovation programme.

The company also reported that 25 of its internally developed agents were turned into products and published on Microsoft Marketplace.

Its AI work covers nine industries, including manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, telecommunications, financial services and government.

The systems address several business requirements, including financial reconciliation, procurement, document processing, legal operations, employee productivity and enterprise knowledge management.

One manufacturing finance project provides an example of the results reported by the company. AI-based document processing reduced manual work by 60 to 70 per cent, cut reconciliation time by 50 per cent and achieved more than 90 per cent accuracy in extracting information from documents.

These figures are based on atQor’s reported implementation results.

Deepak Singh, Chief Information Security Officer at CleanMax, also spoke about the company’s work with the organisation.

“Working with atQor feels less like engaging a technology provider and more like having an invested partner at the table,” said Singh. “They listen closely, challenge us when needed, and stay focused on what will create real value for the business. Their success on a global stage is a testament to that approach. We congratulate the entire atQor team on this achievement.”

Microsoft’s Om Batra, Channel Partner Leader for India and South Asia, also congratulated the company.

“atQor has distinguished itself through its ability to translate advanced AI capabilities into enterprise-ready solutions that deliver tangible value,” said Batra. “We applaud the atQor team for this achievement and look forward to its growing contribution to customer success and the Microsoft partner ecosystem.”

Founded in 2002, atQor has developed into a Microsoft-focused technology services company with operations in India, Canada and the United States.

Ahmedabad remains an important base for its Indian business. The company also has offices and business operations in Mumbai and Bengaluru, along with a sales presence in the National Capital Region.

Its Indian operations include customer relationships, commercial activities, engineering teams and technology delivery. The company works with businesses in manufacturing, pharmaceuticals and other sectors.

Its services cover cloud computing, data management, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and business applications. These include consulting, system design, implementation and ongoing technology support.

The company has also received Microsoft Frontier Partner status, announced in July 2026. This recognition relates to its work in cloud and AI platforms, AI business solutions and security.

For Gujarat, atQor’s latest award selection brings attention to a technology business that began in Ahmedabad and now serves customers in several international markets. It also places the city’s technology industry within a wider discussion about India’s role in developing enterprise AI products and services.

The growing use of AI agents raises questions about accuracy, data protection and responsibility. Businesses must decide which tasks can be handled automatically and which require approval from employees.

Financial decisions, access to confidential records and actions that affect customers may need closer supervision. Companies must also keep track of what their AI systems do and who is responsible when something goes wrong.

Microsoft’s guidance on agentic AI places particular importance on controlling permissions, monitoring activities and requiring human approval for high-risk actions.

For atQor, the 2026 finalist position recognises its work in this area. Its reported figures on agent development and customer deployments provide a picture of how the company is applying AI to business operations.

The award listing places atQor among the finalists in the Agents category, alongside EPAM Systems and Nimble Gravity. Druid AI was named the category winner by Microsoft.

The recognition gives Ahmedabad another entry in the international technology awards space, while the company’s future work will be judged by how well its AI systems perform in actual business settings.
