Unolabs partners with NovTek Consulting to help enterprises transform intelligently and operate securely

London, United Kingdom — November 13, 2026 — Unolabs Limited and NovTek Consulting Ltd have entered a partnership, uniting the two firms' expertise to help businesses transform intelligently and operate securely.

The arrangement is between the two companies. Each continues to contract with its own clients in its own name.

#Why these two firms

The two practices meet rather than overlap, which is the whole basis for the partnership.

Unolabs brings data, AI and cloud: governed data estates, production AI systems and SAP modernisation for large enterprises, with compliance controls engineered into the platform. What Unolabs does not do is run a 24/7 security operations centre or offensive security testing.

NovTek brings cybersecurity, automation and connectivity. It describes its own work as sitting "at the intersection of automation, AI, and cybersecurity", and its published services include managed IT and cloud services, security gap assessments, penetration testing and red team engagements, and telecom OSS/BSS orchestration. It lists NovTekSec and the NovTek Automation Suite among its own products.

A governed data platform has to be operated and defended after it is built — release and reliability engineering on the platform itself, security operations around it. That is the seam the two firms are working along.

#What the two firms say

Akshay Raj, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Unolabs, said:

"We build the platform and the AI systems that run on it. Keeping that estate running and defended afterwards is a different discipline, and firms that claim both usually do one of them thinly. NovTek does that work properly. A client gets both, from two teams who have already agreed where one ends and the other begins."

Mukesh Bansal, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of NovTek Consulting, said:

"Most of the security problems we get called into start upstream, in how the data estate was built. Working alongside the team that engineers those platforms in the first place means designing the controls in rather than retrofitting them later. That is a better outcome for the client, and a cheaper one."
