Rapidly emerging as a global technology hub, Southeast Asia draws significant tech investment from major corporations worldwide. However, in countries like Malaysia, a gap persists between the demand for technology and workforce availability. This growing need for high-quality education and customized learning has paved the way for the region’s EdTech sector to flourish. While some EdTech firms serve as certification partners for leading vendors like
Microsoft, Cisco, and Amazon, others provide training tailored to market trends. A third category focuses on solving real-world problems and meeting developer needs - and Abundent, led by Tarun Sukhani, fits this mold.
Founded in 2016 by
Tarun Sukhani, Abundent is a leading Kuala Lumpur-based EdTech and Digital Transformation Solutions provider, specializing in modernizing IT infrastructure and development practices across various industries. Coupled with Tarun’s leadership as Founder & CTO, Abundent is backed by a team of data scientists, analysts, and front-end and backend developers with extensive industry experience. With a strong emphasis on process automation and AI, the company aims to deliver affordable, robust, data-driven solutions while modernizing
IT and development across sectors.
A Spectrum of Business Offerings
Abundent’s business is divided into three verticals: Training, Consulting, and Project Implementation. Abundent Academy, the firm’s training platform, offers IT training across eight high-demand categories, including
cybersecurity, GenAI, and Data Science. These courses are designed for professional developers and educators looking to upskill. In consulting, Abundent provides Digital Audits using its proprietary DDAP (Digitization, Digitalization, Automation, and Prediction) framework. This maturity model helps organizations assess their position on the digital adoption curve and achieve transformation goals.
In Project Implementation, Abundent is developing various EdTech and LawTech initiatives focused on AI enablement and business model automation. Currently, the firm is creating SaaS solutions for the LawTech market, especially for law firms in the US, aimed at automating administrative tasks such as case file management, legal research, and
document summarization. Additionally, Abundent has developed its own
Training Management System (TMS) - an integrated ERP, CRM, CMS, and e-commerce platform that enables training providers to manage their businesses more efficiently with automation and AI.
Well-Aligned with Industry Needs
Abundent stands out due to its comprehensive training services. “We have over 200 courses all within, backed by robust roadmaps with the right job types and job categories. We are more than a trainer; we are a development house. We develop AI and automation solutions that enhance operational efficiency and customer engagement. One of our unique strengths is understanding the developer community’s needs and offering courses that many of our peers overlook. We excel at aligning job descriptions with relevant training courses based on industry trends and career psychometrics," highlights Tarun.

Leveraging SaaS to Revolutionize the Finance Industry
While Abundent primarily focuses on AI and process automation, it has also delivered impactful projects in the FMCG and finance sectors. In finance, the firm introduced a model called Money Service as a Service — a SaaS solution that provides API access to money services, enabling the developer community to create innovative financial products. Apart from that, the firm also focuses on data engineering, including building data ingestion pipelines and effectively processing data before preparing it for analysis.
Overall Journey & Future Roadmap
Since its inception, Abundent has experienced significant growth across its business verticals. Initially a fintech startup focused on blockchain technology, the company pivoted to EdTech when the market wasn’t ready for its original offerings. As an early adopter of technologies like Deep Learning, NLP, and Computer Vision, Abundent expanded its services to include project implementation in these cutting-edge areas. Today, the company is well equipped to handle large-scale projects and is recognized as a leading training provider in both Singapore and Malaysia.
Looking ahead, Abundent aims to expand further throughout Southeast Asia and the US. "We are developing a Career AI Assistant tool designed to support career progression throughout an individual's lifetime. It will serve as a personal labor market intelligence agent, continuously working to find the right job opportunities," concludes Tarun.
