SA Global Advisors (‘SA’), a leading global investment banking firm focused exclusively on growth investments and M&A for the Digital and Technology sectors, is pleased to announce that it has acted as an exclusive buy-side advisor to US-based iLink Digital, a global leader in AI-driven Digital Transformation, in its strategic acquisition of FourNxt, an AI and HyperAutomation specialist with strong presence in the UAE and India. As a trusted Investment Banking partner to companies in the fast growing AI ecosystem, this marks the 3rd AI acquisition advised by SA in the last seven months, with several strategic and financial investors allocating further capital for similar investments in India.

Pravin Advani, Founder & Managing Partner of SA Global Advisors said “As we see an acceleration of investment in Data and AI companies in the Middle East, particularly in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, many of our US and European investors are keen to establish presence through investments or acquisitions.

SA has built a unique growth model for Data or AI first companies looking to scale through strategic investments and partnerships and drive multi-fold growth through this process. The firm continues to be seen as a crucial bridge for strategic capital investments in the AI ecosystem in India, as we enable more companies in the AI ecosystem attract strategic investments to expand core AI technology development and IP innovation in India while gaining market access across Europe, Middle East and APAC.

With India and the Middle East emerging as fast-growing markets for AI and automation, iLink’s acquisition of FourNxt reinforces its regional commitment.
