Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], December 22: Hyderabad-based microcap firm Telecanor Global Ltd has announced a major strategic revival with the launch of an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven platform for institutional investors in the Quantitative Investment Strategies (QIS) space, a global market estimated at around USD 850 billion.
The company, which has a market capitalisation of approximately ₹29 crore, unveiled the initiative on December 19, marking a shift from legacy analytics to a scalable, AI-led fintech business model focused on recurring revenue and long-term growth.
The AI-powered QIS platform is designed to automate complex institutional workflows by converting extensive index rulebooks into executable trading strategies within minutes—a task that currently takes 30 to 40 hours of manual effort. The Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform aims to significantly enhance efficiency for institutional clients.
Telecanor has outlined a phased rollout plan. Phase I, expected within the next 10 months, will focus on automated PDF-to-code conversion and strategy backtesting. Phase II, scheduled between 10 and 18 months, will introduce an AI copilot to help refine and optimise strategies. Phase III, planned beyond 18 months, will provide hosting and execution infrastructure tailored for institutional users.
The company expects operating margins of around 70–80 per cent after R&D stabilisation. It has projected annual recurring revenue of about ₹7.5 crore in the first year with up to five clients, scaling to nearly ₹83 crore by the third year with an estimated client base of 60.
The platform launch comes amid improving financial performance. Telecanor reported revenue of ₹5.74 crore and a profit after tax of ₹2.53 crore in Q2 FY2025, reflecting enhanced operational efficiency. Despite this, the company currently trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of around 8.98, considered relatively low for an IT and AI-focused business.
Strengthening its strategic position further, Telecanor owns a land bank valued at approximately ₹152.46 crore, according to disclosures submitted to the BSE. The land, located in Marripalem and Rajala Agraharam villages in Rambilli Mandal of Anakapalli district, lies about 600 metres from the site of the proposed Google AI Centre hub announced by the Andhra Pradesh government as part of a ₹1.5 lakh crore investment initiative. The proximity has significantly enhanced the land’s valuation and offers monetisation opportunities through IT and AI parks, institutional leasing, employee housing, and mixed-use development.
The company’s board stated that the AI-QIS initiative will be executed within approved R&D budgets, with no related-party transactions involved. It clarified that the platform will function strictly as a technology and tooling solution and will not provide investment advice or execution services without regulatory compliance.
Telecanor also acknowledged key risks, including technical challenges, data licensing dependencies, institutional procurement cycles, and evolving AI regulations, noting that these will be actively monitored.
The company said the AI-powered QIS platform reflects its long-term commitment to innovation, governance, and sustainable value creation, and that further updates will be shared in line with regulatory requirements.
