A little colour, a lot of laughter, and plenty of festive cheer! ✨
Our office came alive with the spirit of Diwali as the Inception42 team got together to celebrate with festive traditions, good company and moments that made the day special.
Here’s to celebrating the little moments, the people who make them special, and the light we carry forward.
Wishing everyone a bright and joyful Diwali! 🪔
Meet Norma Arjona, Senior Manager of Human Capital at Inception42.
Her focus? Creating an environment where people can learn, ask questions and grow together, while building strong people operations across a diverse team representing more than 40 nationalities.
Norma shares how collaboration across teams brings culture to life, why listening and learning matter when building a workplace people want to be part of, and why even in the age of AI, human judgement should always remain essential.
Finding financial information is one thing. Finding the right evidence, with the context to understand what it means, is another.
Introducing BANANA, research by Inception42 and Mubadala exploring a more rigorous approach to financial document retrieval. Published at SIGIR 2026, the research examines how AI can navigate large document archives, compare potential evidence and retain critical details such as reporting entity, financial period and units.
In a controlled FinanceBench evaluation, BANANA achieved 79.3% answer accuracy, compared with 62.0% for the PageIndex baseline, using the same GPT model in both systems.
Our latest technical blog sees Animesh Panara, Senior Applied Scientist at Inception42 explain the approach, the results and the trade-offs, including the additional time required to retrieve better evidence.
Congratulations to Larry Murray, Anup Roy, Rishabh Upadhyay, Animesh Panara, Aidan Millar, and Robin Mills on the research.

Inception42, OpenAI and Mubadala are bringing frontier AI to the heart of investment monitoring and decision-making.
As investment portfolios and markets evolve, connecting vast amounts of information to actionable insights is critical. Building on a successful pilot, our partnership will introduce an AI-powered “Investment Brain” to help Mubadala’s teams monitor asset performance, identify emerging opportunities and risks, and make more informed decisions, initially focusing on private equity and real estate.
The potential is already evident. During the pilot, more than 1,600 AI agents analysed over 37,000 internal and external sources, demonstrating the power of AI to transform investment intelligence at scale.
As His Excellency Khaldoon Khalifa Al Mubarak, MD and Group CEO of Mubadala Investment Company, highlights, the partnership reflects Mubadala’s commitment to innovation, long-term thinking and leveraging emerging technologies to create sustainable value.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman shares this vision, emphasizing how frontier AI can connect information at scale, uncover insights that might otherwise be missed and enable faster, more valuable investment decisions.
For our CEO Ashish Ipe Koshy, the ambition is to build a transformational system that keeps every investment continuously in focus, allowing deal managers to dedicate more time to applying their expertise where it matters most.
By combining Inception42’s implementation expertisae with OpenAI’s frontier AI capabilities and Mubadala’s investment leadership, we aim to turn complex information into meaningful intelligence, empowering smarter decisions and long-term value creation.
A flag that brings us together, a legacy that fills us with pride, and a future we continue to build as one.
Happy UAE Flag Day. 🇦🇪
علمٌ يجمعنا، وإرثٌ يملؤنا فخراً واعتزازاً، ومستقبلٌ نواصل بنيانه بروحٍ واحدة.
