Together, we believe AI will fundamentally transform investor communications."

Nirav Karia, Chief Executive Officer, Curation

"At VEON, we invest in technologies that empower people through digital innovation.

We are excited to support the company's growth and explore opportunities to bring its technology to a much broader audience across the markets in which we operate."
