Enterprise RPA and process automation platform · NYSE: PATH
UiPath is the market leader in RPA for enterprises. Used by 20+ of India's largest banks, major BPOs (TCS, Infosys, Wipro use it for clients), and insurance companies for automating backend processes — loan processing, account setup, claims handling, invoice processing. The platform is strong for developer-led automation but has a steep learning curve for business users. In October 2024, UiPath announced a strategic partnership with SAP, making UiPath available as an SAP Solution Extension — a significant development for SAP-heavy Indian enterprises.

UiPath is the market leader in Robotic Process Automation (RPA), publicly traded on the NYSE under ticker PATH. Founded in 2005 in Bucharest, Romania by Daniel Dines and Marius Tîrcă (originally as "DeskOver"), UiPath has grown into the dominant enterprise automation platform with headquarters in New York City and major development centers in Bangalore and Hyderabad.
UiPath automates repetitive, rule-based business processes — loan origination, invoice processing, claims handling, customer onboarding, regulatory reporting. Its "robots" interact with any application (desktop, web, mainframe, SAP, Oracle) the same way a human would — clicking, typing, extracting data — but 24/7, error-free, and at scale.
The October 2024 SAP strategic partnership is particularly significant for Indian enterprises: UiPath is now available as an SAP Solution Extension, meaning SAP-heavy organizations can purchase and deploy UiPath automation directly through their SAP relationship. For the large number of Indian enterprises running SAP ERP, this eliminates procurement friction significantly.
UiPath is used by 20+ of India's top banks, and the Indian IT services giants (TCS, Infosys, Wipro, HCL) all maintain UiPath practices for client automation projects. The RPA developer talent pool in India is one of the largest globally.
Automate any desktop application, web browser, or legacy system — including mainframes, SAP, Oracle, Citrix. Click, enter data, extract info just like a human.
