Bangalore, September 23, 2025: SignDesk today announces a strategic rebrand and will henceforth operate as Melento. The new identity marks a deliberate shift: moving beyond document workflows to orchestrating collaborative intelligence across enterprises — where AI and human judgment combine to accelerate decisions, remove friction and create measurable business outcomes.
“Why now?” is the question many ask. The answer is simple: enterprises no longer need only faster documents; they need smarter decisions. AI maturity, widespread automation, and the demand for outcome-oriented platforms have converged. Melento is designed for that moment — a low-code Collaborative Intelligence Platform that pairs Agentic AI with human guardrails to turn siloed data and manual approvals into a single source of trusted, actionable work.
“Over the past decade, we helped thousands of organisations digitize contracts and remove paperwork friction,” said Krupesh Bhat, CEO. “As Melento, we are amplifying that purpose: not by abandoning our roots, but by multiplying their impact. We’re enabling teams to make faster, more confident decisions — securely, transparently and at scale.”
A decade of disciplined, bootstrap-driven growth
Bootstrapped from day one, the company has scaled steadily to serve 3,000+ customers globally. SignDesk (now Melento) was also a finalist at the Economic Times Bootstrapped Champion Awards — a recognition of sustainable, customer-first growth without external dilution.
“Congratulations to the SignDesk team on a remarkable ten-year journey. With its transformation into Melento and the launch of the AI-driven Collaborative Intelligence Platform, the company is once again poised to shape work at the intersection of human and artificial intelligence. Wishing the team continued success ahead!”
— Nandan Nilekani, Co-founder and Chairman, Infosys, and Founding Chairman UIDAI (Aadhaar)
The pivot in practice: Collaborative Intelligence Platform
Melento is unveiling its Collaborative Intelligence Platform (CIP) — a low-code AI agentic platform that transforms fragmented data into actionable insights, automates end-to-end workflows, and embeds collaboration directly into the flow of work. It also strengthens enterprise trust with AI-powered CLM, eSignatures, tamper-proof digital stamping, digital onboarding and secure KYC.
“India is uniquely positioned to lead the next wave of AI — not by chasing trends, but by building product-led, trustworthy agentic systems at scale. With our deep engineering talent, bold entrepreneurs and a maturing ecosystem that converts ideas into global businesses, we can set the standards for practical, responsible AI. Congratulations to SignDesk on ten years of leadership in digital contracts — and best wishes to Melento as it steps into a new chapter with a clear vision to drive agentic-AI impact.”
— Sharad Sharma, Co-founder of iSPIRT, Member of United Nations’ advisory body on Artificial Intelligence (AI), Member National Startup Advisory Council and SEBI’s Financial and Regulatory Technology Committee.
Melento’s products and the Collaborative Intelligence Platform are available immediately to existing customers. Prospective customers can book demos and pilots via the company website: www.melento.ai. In the coming months, Melento will roll out partner programs, industry accelerators and lab-based pilot opportunities.
“Rebranding to Melento signals a widening of ambition. We began by removing paperwork friction; now we remove organisational friction — the gaps between data, process and people. Our commitment to trust, customer obsession and speed remains unchanged,” added Krupesh Bhat.
