Right now more than 100,000 people in the U.S. are awaiting life-saving organ transplants. Doctors assess transplant viability within 30 minutes of receiving a donated organ. Imagine the power to assess in 30 seconds. Specialist Direct and Loka are making it happen.

Launched in 2023, the AWS GenAIIC pairs customers with AWS strategists, data scientists, ML engineers, and AWS Partner Network (APN) members like Loka to accelerate adoption of GenAI.

Capping an ascendant year, Loka’s AWS award is one of the cloud giant’s most prestigious, elevating the Silicon Valley consultancy alongside past winners like IBM, Caylent and Deloitte.

Information Week sat down with Loka’s Chief Innovation Officer Emily Kruger during the AWS Summit in New York this summer. Their conversation delved into why data-rich Healthcare and Life Sciences companies of all kinds are bucking their typical technophobia and rapidly adopting—and benefitting from—GenAI.

By demonstrating technical expertise and superlative customer relations over multiple years, Loka ascends into AWS’s 99th percentile—and is ready to deliver new benefits to customers.

The business magazine calls out Loka as one of the first AWS GenAI Competency partners with “the experience needed to apply machine learning and GenAI to create powerful analytics for all types of data.”

With this latest competency, AWS recognizes Loka as a partner that “provides solutions or has deep experience helping businesses move successfully to AWS, through all phases of complex migration projects, discovery, planning, migration and operations.”

The AWS SaaS Competency recognizes AWS Partners Network members that bring deep experience in designing and building software-as-a-service (SaaS) and cloud-native solutions on AWS, helping organizations transition easily from legacy applications to AWS cloud architecture. 

Loka founder and CEO Bobby Mukherjee usually prefers to let his company’s work speak for itself, but he also knows that when Amazon calls direct, you pick up the phone. Bobby recently joined host Sara Armstrong on the Amazon podcast Innovation Ambassadors, where the two embarked on a wide-ranging conversation that packs a lot of story—and a lot of insight—into a 23-minute runtime.
