Microsoft Power BI ensures Darwinbox can enhance its AI-based predictive analytics engine and create visual analytics dashboards, allowing users across organizations to process data more efficiently and make quick business decisions.
With a customer base of close to 750, Darwinbox has a significant presence in India, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines and Indonesia. The company recently expanded into the US market and the Middle East. The partnership with Microsoft will further support these efforts.

The partnership is one of a series of collaborations that Microsoft is initiating with product-led startups in India, where the tech giant aims to expand its ecosystem. Darwinbox’s offering covers over two million employees from over 700 enterprises across 90 countries. With the new partnership, the company aims to reach a $100 million annual run rate in the next two years.
