Kanerika review

Kanerika is an AI and data consulting firm founded in 2015 and based in Austin, Texas, that migrates legacy data, BI, and ETL systems to Microsoft Fabric, Databricks, and Snowflake with its FLIP platform and builds AI agents for enterprises, with most engineers in India.

Reviewed November 4, 2026

Our verdict

Kanerika combines data migration services with its own software: FLIP automates around 80% of a legacy data warehouse, ETL, or BI migration, and its team finishes the rest (Intellyx). It suits a mid-size or large company moving off Informatica, Tableau, SQL Server, or older BI tools onto Microsoft Fabric or Power BI, and it is less suited to a buyer who wants a platform-neutral strategy firm or deep industry specialists.

The right buyer

  • Companies moving to Microsoft Fabric and Power BI. It has a partnership agreement with Microsoft that favors Fabric migrations (Intellyx).
  • Teams replacing aging ETL and BI tools. FLIP converts Informatica, Alteryx, Tableau, Cognos, and Crystal Reports work to modern platforms (Kanerika).
  • Buyers who want packaged AI agents alongside services. It offers agents for PII redaction, data insights, and legal summaries (The Brand Hopper).

Reasons to look elsewhere

  • Its migration tools lean toward Microsoft Fabric, so a buyer set on another platform should check how much of FLIP applies.
  • Most of its engineers work from India, so a buyer who needs an all-onshore team should ask about staffing.

Kanerika, At A High Level

Kanerika was founded in 2015 by Samidha Garud and Bhupendra Chopra; Chopra was the founding CEO until 2023, when Garud became CEO and he became chief revenue officer (The Brand Hopper; Kanerika). It began as a healthcare software startup, turned to data consulting, added robotic process automation in 2018, and launched FLIP in 2022 (The Brand Hopper). In 2026 it repositioned FLIP as a migration platform for enterprise AI work and now supports moves such as Crystal Reports or Tableau to Power BI and UiPath bots to Power Automate (Intellyx). It works with Microsoft Fabric, Databricks, and Snowflake, holds Snowflake Select tier status, and says it has six offices across the United States, India, and Singapore (Kanerika; Kanerika).

  • 220-plus employees across the U.S. and India as of 2025; we estimate annual revenue at $10 million to $15 million (The Brand Hopper).
  • More than 130 enterprise clients, 98% client retention, and 95% average client satisfaction, by its own count (Kanerika).
  • Listed as a Top Aspirant in Everest Group’s 2025 Data and AI Services PEAK Matrix for North America; holds ISO 27001 and 27701, SOC 2, and CMMI Level 3 (The Brand Hopper).
  • Privately held with no disclosed outside equity rounds (The Brand Hopper).

Where Kanerika fits

Kanerika is used by mid-size and large companies in consumer goods, packaging, travel, insurance, and logistics that want to retire legacy data warehouses and BI tools and put AI on the new platform. It is best for Fabric and Power BI migrations, data governance, and packaged agents. On price it sits in the lower mid-market tier, with India-based delivery and automated conversion keeping costs below U.S.-only consultancies. On this site it competes with Anblicks and Xorbix for data platform and migration work.

What clients and leaders say

Kanerika’s leaders and clients describe its work in published announcements. One buyer concern is written from public facts about the firm.

“Kanerika aligned Microsoft Fabric with our business needs and built an analytics framework that drives better results across our operations.”

“Kanerika handled our Incorta implementation end to end, from managing our environment to resolving technical issues.”

“Success isn’t shipping software. It’s creating impact.”

“The automated conversion moved most of our reports to Power BI quickly, but the last stretch of custom logic took longer and needed more of our own people than the early demos suggested.”

Where customer reviews couldn’t be found, our analysts attempted to give a voice to buyer sentiment, drawing on real information from review sites, forums and product documentation. Based on: Intellyx’s April 2026 update, which says FLIP automates about 80% of a migration and Kanerika’s experts handle the remaining 20%.
