Zakta

A Pioneering Vision in Collaborative Search and Knowledge Intelligence

Co-founded in 2007 by Mahendra Vora and Sundar Kadayam, Zakta reimagined how individuals and teams access, connect, and collaborate on knowledge. At a time when enterprise tools were siloed and search was keyword-driven, Zakta introduced a radically smarter, contextual way to work.

Powered by a federated search framework, Zakta unified access to emails, documents, cloud drives, databases, and enterprise systems—without requiring data migration. It used early tokenization and semantic ranking models to interpret complex queries and deliver fast, relevant results.

For researchers, analysts, and knowledge workers, Zakta was a breakthrough. Its context-aware search, entity recognition, and shared knowledge trails enabled deep exploration, reusable insights, and real-time collaboration across teams.

With its patent-pending Team Search algorithms, Zakta went beyond search, it became a true productivity tool. Teams could explore topics together, curate relevant content, and make decisions faster, without version chaos or lost knowledge.
