A New Public Procurement Platform Integrated with Al and Open APls

Intellect Design Arena launched the first-ever purpose-driven and ecosystem-focused API-based public procurement platform viz., iGPX (Government Procurement eXchange). The company is targeting USD $40 million in revenue in revenue through new line of business iDTC by 2027. 

Composed with eMACH.ai and engineered by the First Principles Thinking along with embedded GenAl from Intellect's own Purple Fabric Al platform, iGPX promises enhanced efficiency, deep transparency, unparalleled inclusivity, vigilant compliance and global sustainability. Intellect Design Arena Ltd is a cloud-native, future-ready, multi-product FinTech company for the world's leading banking and insurance clients. According to World Bank analysts, Governments spend an estimated $13 trillion each year on public contracts for goods, services, and public works i.e 12-20% of the world’s GDP. As much as 25% of that is wasted in inefficient or shortsighted procurement practices. Halting this waste could free up at least $1- $4 trillion a year to put economies on a path toward green, resilient, and inclusive development. 

With public welfare at the core, the iGPX seamlessly embeds expert Al agents for governments & public institutions to excel in their core objectives through the following -  

a) Best Price through rich product & services listing, price reasonability algorithms & demand aggregation

b) Reduction in procurement cycle time up to 95% through 100+ procurement variations, multi evaluation & consignee options

c) Tailored procurement rules and transparent bidding practices supported with unbiased grievance redressal foster social & economic inclusivity to local sellers, SMEs & other communities. 

iGPX is enriched by Intellect's experience of building and managing one of the largest public procurement marketplaces in the world for 6 years - GeM. When they took over GEM in 2017 the procurements was a platform worth 4000 Crore and when the contract ended in December of last year they surpassed 4 lakh Crores. Intellect completely transformed public procurement in India and now they are expanding these services globally via iGPX. With pre-built assets like 111 APls and 17 microservices, iGPX drives significant value to clients by providing the ability to compose their own signature solution quickly.
