Kaizen Analytix Acquires Nihon Technology to Strengthen SAP and AI Capabilities

Kaizen Analytix, a provider of AI, data analytics, and technology services, announced the acquisition of Nihon Technology, an IT services company specializing in SAP implementation, digital transformation, and cybersecurity.

The acquisition strengthens Kaizen's ability to help enterprises modernize core systems while embedding analytics and AI into transformation programs from the outset.

Founded in 2007 and led by T. Muthuvelan, Nihon has delivered more than 300 engagements for customers in the manufacturing, retail, and technology industries over the past 17 years. Nihon's leadership team will continue to run the business with operational autonomy following the acquisition.
"As Kaizen grows globally, we are being intentional about where we invest and how we build differentiated capability," said Krishna Arangode, Founder and CEO of Kaizen Analytix. "Japan is a strategically important market that values trust and long-term partnerships. Nihon brings deep SAP, digital transformation and cybersecurity expertise, a proven Japan-India delivery model, and an execution mindset that aligns closely with Kaizen's continuous improvement principles."

Nihon's strengths in SAP implementations, manufacturing execution systems, analytics, enterprise data integration, and cybersecurity complement Kaizen's portfolio across data engineering, advanced analytics, AI/ML, and enterprise AI. The combination creates a more integrated transformation platform connecting core ERP systems with intelligence, automation, and AI-driven decision-making.

The combined organization aims to help clients modernize ERP landscapes with analytics and AI embedded from the start, accelerate enterprise decision-making through data-driven insights, scale global delivery across regions with strong governance, and reduce transformation risk through incremental, value-focused delivery.

For Nihon's clients, the acquisition expands access to Kaizen's capabilities in AI-led transformation, advanced analytics, and large-scale data modernization.
"Joining Kaizen is a natural next chapter for Nihon," said Muthuvelan, CEO of Nihon. "Our clients rely on us for execution excellence across enterprise solution implementations and cybersecurity. With Kaizen, we can bring additional capabilities in AI and analytics—without changing the delivery standards our clients trust."

"What makes this combination powerful is the complementary nature of capabilities and operating models," said Anand Srinivasan, Chief Operating Officer and Managing Partner at Kaizen Analytix. "Nihon brings deep global delivery rigor with recognized quality certifications across enterprise modernization initiatives, which fits naturally with how Kaizen scales large, multi-year transformation programs."
