LlamaIndex Welcomes Investments from Databricks and KPMG

We're thrilled to announce that LlamaIndex has received minority equity investments from Databricks and KPMG LLP! This marks a significant milestone in our journey to democratize enterprise AI and make agentic document workflows more intelligent and efficient.

Why This Matters

As the leading platform for agentic document workflows, we've seen first-hand how organizations struggle to make sense of their unstructured data. Our flagship product, LlamaCloud, has become a foundational tool for enterprises building production-grade knowledge agents. These investments will help us accelerate development and adoption, bringing our solutions to even more organizations worldwide.

Shared Vision with Industry Leaders

Both Databricks and KPMG share our commitment to solving the complex challenges of building production-ready AI systems.

Patrick Wendell, Co-Founder & VP Engineering at Databricks, highlighted our aligned vision: "Databricks and LlamaIndex share a common vision of democratizing access to AI by making it easier for organizations to harness the power of their data. LlamaIndex's technology addresses a critical need in the enterprise AI stack, enabling companies to quickly build production-ready AI applications that leverage their proprietary data."

Similarly, Swami Chandrasekaran, Principal, AI & Data Labs Leader at KPMG, emphasized the importance of our frameworks: "LlamaCloud and LlamaIndex provide the frameworks necessary to access, curate, and ingest data at-scale, enabling KPMG to develop differentiated, industry-specific solutions that deliver measurable business outcomes for our clients."

What Our Customers Are Saying

The real validation of our work comes from our customers. Daniel G Zapata, Senior Data Scientist at Cemex (a customer we share with Databricks), shared: "LlamaCloud completely changed our velocity. Our small team of data scientists have spun up 10 production‑grade use‑cases in a couple of months. Tasks that used to drag on for weeks now ship in days."

Dean Barr, MD, Head of Applied AI and Data Scientist at The Carlyle Group, another organization using both Databricks and LlamaIndex, had this to say about LlamaParse: "LlamaIndex's LlamaParse stands out as the premier solution for integrating complex documents into our advanced analytics pipeline. Its exceptional handling of nested tables, complex layouts, and image extraction has been instrumental in our data-driven investment strategies."

What's Next for LlamaIndex

This investment comes at a time of significant momentum in the enterprise AI space. The combination of Databricks' Data Intelligence Platform with our data infrastructure for LLMs offers enterprises powerful solutions for implementing generative AI applications.

"We're excited to work with industry leaders like Databricks and KPMG to bring enterprise-grade LLM infrastructure to more organizations worldwide," said Jerry Liu, our Co-Founder and CEO. "These investments will accelerate our product development and go-to-market efforts, allowing us to help more enterprises solve the complex challenges of building production-ready AI systems."
