- 13 March 2026 - i-Sprint Corporation today announced the successful
completion of a management buy-out (MBO) of all its operating companies,
and marks a pivotal milestone as the company celebrated its 25th
anniversary last year. The transaction was led by the company's existing
management team in strategic partnership with KV Asia Capital.
This landmark transaction ranks among the significant Identity and
Access Management acquisitions in Asia. It underscores i-Sprint's
strategic importance in the region's cybersecurity landscape as
AI-driven threats, machine identity proliferation, and tightening
regulatory requirements reshape cybersecurity across the region. The
deal positions i-Sprint for its next phase of innovation and global
expansion, as it continues to invest in next-generation capabilities,
while expanding its footprint across the region.
This milestone firmly establishes i‑Sprint as one of the region's
largest independent IAM, Quantum Safe and Mobile cybersecurity provider.

"This Management Buy-Out is a defining moment for i-Sprint and a
testament to the strength of the business we have built and our deep
belief in its future. Partnering with KV Asia Capital provides us with
the strategic tools and capital to accelerate growth while preserving
the entrepreneurial spirit and customer focus that define i-Sprint. We
are grateful for the trust and support of our clients, partners, and
team—and excited about the future we're building together."
KV Asia Capital has a proven track record of scaling growth-stage
companies across Asia. Their expertise and financial backing will enable
i-Sprint to enhance product offerings, invest in cutting-edge R&D,
and pursue new market opportunities with greater agility.
Lee Gan Ping, Managing Director, at KV Asia Capital, said:
"We are thrilled to partner with i-Sprint's founders and management
team, whose deep domain expertise and track record has earned the trust
of Asia's leading financial and government institutions. As identity and
authentication become increasingly complex and relevant, we look

Together, we will scale i-Sprint's global footprint through accelerated
R&D investments and strategic M&A."
