Loka, the Silicon Valley software consultancy recognized as 2024 Innovation Partner of the Year by Amazon Web Services (AWS), has expanded its Strategic Collaboration Agreement (SCA) with AWS. The new agreement reflects Loka's exceptional execution against all performance metrics since the initial SCA announcement in December 2024, resulting in increased investment and expanded scope to drive even more effective AI and cloud transformation initiatives for customers.
The expanded agreement provides Loka with additional capital to scale its technical team, extend market penetration through more extensive marketing initiatives, and invest in next-generation technology infrastructure, all to better serve customers navigating complex Agentic AI and cloud environments. It also recognizes Loka's proven track record and positions the company for accelerated growth across its service offerings, including artificial intelligence (AI) and agentic, migrations, data modernization, machine learning (ML), and cloud-native application development, spanning key industries and enterprise markets. With deep expertise across industries, including regulated spaces such as Healthcare, Life Sciences and Finance, Loka understands the unique demands each sector faces and how to best apply AI and modern cloud architecture to solve them.
"This expanded agreement validates what our customers already know: Loka delivers results," said Emily Kruger, Chief Innovation Officer at Loka. "We're an AWS Premier Tier Services Partner with multiple competencies, including the AWS Generative AI Competency. This SCA represents a significant investment in our ability to scale these capabilities and help more customers implement AI and transform on AWS."
Loka's recent work exemplifies this impact. In 2025, Loka partnered with Experity, America’s leading provider of AI-driven operating systems for urgent care clinics, to optimize patient care and data-entry systems. The result was a pair of custom-built, HIPAA-compliant AI solutions. During an AI Live! panel at AWS Re:Invent in November, Experity’s Chief Architect Chris Hoffman appeared alongside Loka’s VP of Sales NAMER East Sushmitha Regulapati to discuss the collaboration.
“We partnered with Loka and they came up with a great architecture,” Hoffman said. “We had a very aggressive timeline of three or four months, and building on AWS and using AWS services allowed us to scale and go to market very quickly.”
Loka brings two decades of experience in AI, ML, Big Data, and DevOps, with specialized expertise in Healthcare and Life Sciences supported by a dedicated bioengineering team. Their domain depth provides substantial advantages for companies seeking to migrate, modernize and transform on AWS.
"At AWS, we're focused on helping customers solve problems and move faster with the right partners by their side," said Todd Pond, Director of Strategic Sales, AWS North America. “This expanded partnership reflects Loka's track record of driving real customer value—we’re investing in Loka’s expertise because they consistently deliver the innovative solutions businesses need to compete in an AI-driven world."
