Client Endorsements
Lorraine WangLorraine Wang, President & CEO at GAMMA Investing
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Hardeep and his team at Cognivo over the past year as we developed our new data centralization and reporting platform.
From my personal experience, I highly recommend them as a consulting and implementation partner for any financial services company looking to drive innovation through data and technology.
Their team brought deep expertise in data infrastructure, advanced analytics, and financial services to our engagement. They worked together with our internal IT and business stakeholders to ensure the solution was tailored to our specific needs and integrated seamlessly with our existing systems.
Throughout the project, I was impressed with Hardeep’s professionalism and dedication to our success. They consistently delivered high-quality work on time and within budget through excellent project management. They anticipated risks and challenges, allowing us to avoid roadblocks.
In summary, Hardeep and his team created tremendous value for our business. I look forward to collaborating with them again soon on future strategic initiatives.Lorraine Wang

ILS Capital Management is a Fund specializing in reinsurance, an asset class that is not widely known in the U.S. We hired Cognivo to help us upgrade our technology and operations, which involved moving from our legacy system to a more robust and automated system that supported seamless and more efficient operations for our hedge fund.
The Cognivo team, under the leadership of Hardeep, developed an overall plan and successfully guided us through this transition. Despite Hardeep’s limited knowledge of reinsurance at inception, his deep knowledge and understanding of the fund industry, his technical expertise, and his dedication to learning and understanding our asset class allowed him and his team to quickly understand our business needs and objectives. After defining our requirements, with minimal guidance, they have been able to build a specialized custom solution to meet our business needs.
The custom solution build by Cognivo, on top of centralized data, has helped us perform our month end reporting in a much more efficient manner, saving tens of man hours every month. We are now able to utilize that time for other important tasks. In addition, we now have the capability to perform more in-depth analysis and answer specific questions from our clients and investment team.
We have no hesitation recommending Hardeep and Cognivo to any hedge fund, looking for bespoke software and data solutions. They are an excellent technology partner for a hedge fund like us that does not have an internal technology development team.
